Watchguard has worked well for us, the quarterly reviews are informative and not just sales pitches, watchguard TSS keeps everything updated, and we haven't really had any major issues that would make us want to go somewhere else.

I'm giving this note to WatchGuard Network Security due to its ease of daily support (after acquiring necessary knowledge in the solution), which allows agility in configuration changes, its integration of several reliable security features (such as SSL VPN, VPN Virtual Interfaces between companies, and others) and functional and stability in operation, with no downtime in the equipment due to problems or malfunctions

We are pleased with the product we get to know the more we use it. There is no reason for us to recommend changing the product as it delivers what it promises in a format we can work with. As long as we can get support for it we will support it.

We just replaced our old M200's with the M390's and the performance increase is noticable. We will use these firewalls until end of life. We have been using Watchguards since 2010 and see no reason to stop. Thery are efficient affordable and support is good. Very happy with Watchguard Security.

Very easy upgrade/renewal process. And incredibly simple to upload a dumped configuration to a new box regardless of if it's the same model or not. Love that functionality from Watchguard.
