I first started using WatchGuard firewalls about 20 years ago and found them easy to pick up and learn. Since then I have had experience with many other types--Sonicwalls, Palo Altos, and Cisco Meraki, just to name a few--and I still find the that WatchGuard is the easiest to deploy and work with. I still use the management software (vs. the newer web interface) and it's just very easy to find what I need and to make changes.

The WatchGuard interface was actually fairly intuitive and even though we had a dedicated network admin, quite possibly a technically savvy user would be able to administer most of the required functions of the firewall. Again, the only issue to me would be the catch-22 when you discontinue certain add on applications, this can cause serious problems without explanation as it just blocks all data flow.

The overall usability gets a good rating as the WatchGuard firewalls are fairly easy to deploy. One does not have to have knowledge of their CLI structure to deploy it which makes it easier for a wider range of people. I would prefer to have a more in-depth CLI myself, however, the lack of requirement to use it for deployment, in my opinion, makes the usability easier for more people.
