WatchGuard Network Security

WatchGuard's Total Security Suite features intrusion prevention, spam blocking, and DNS filtering, offering me enhanced network visibility and the ability to act against threats directly from the web management page. it simplifies securing my network with VLANs and allows for easy cross VLAN secure traffic as well as blocking ALL un-authorized outgoing traffic

These devices provide the first line of defense for all web traffic into and out of the offices I manage. Traffic is scanned for viruses, etc. Web sites are also blocked based on category granularly based on employee type.

We are an MSP and utilize WatchGuard firewalls at many of our client's locations.

We utilize these WatchGuard Network Security devices at each of our locations, with a redundant cluster at our primary location. The sites are connected using the branch office VPN system. Remote users have several VPN options. This has enabled us to provide vendors with limited network access and a VPN connection while providing our employees with full network access. We also implemented several of the security subscriptions including the Geolocation service which improved web-based attacks on our client computers.

We use WatchGuard Network Security Fireboxes to secure the boundary of our networks. These provide good security for cost, and with the advanced firmware, the systems are always being updated with new software and features.

Use several NGFW clustered in different countries, physical and virtual appliances as well. Same interface, with no learning curves. Used at the perimeter, connected sites with branch office VPN, and for some, used as a VPN SSL for roaming users. They were bought with the total security suite which provides advanced defense-related features. Globally we use all (or near) the possibilities offered by those devices, and they work as expected.

We are an MSP that supports around 30 businesses with WatchGuard Network Security firewalls. In most cases, we do not support the internet line, so we use the firewall as the DHCP and UTM device. VPN is often a requirement for the business and it's not uncommon to route static NATs and other bespoke setups. A few of our customers also have WatchGuard Network Security Access points connected to the device for secure WiFi.

We use WatchGuard Network Security System Manager for all of our clients. I would say some of the problems would be that it is not the easiest to make quick adjusments for letting a website through part of a network. It takes a bit of work to get to these locations and need to have knowledge of how to do it.

We use WatchGuard Network Security in our organization mainly to protect attacks on our network. We know using WatchGuard will prevent us from viruse, DoS attacks, remote logins, phishing emails, and (my favorite) the spam blocker. I am confident when using WatchGuard that we always have the most up to date security against the ever evolving threats to our network.

We utilize the network security features to secure our internal network and to secure our user logins with firewalls and AuthPoint. We secure our internal network with the firewalls to keep hackers out and we secure our user logins with AuthPoint for multi-factor authentication. This allows us to keep our entire environment safe and secure.

We utilize WatchGuard to protect the edge of a number of customer sites (50+).
We've also used these internally for network segmentation / further protection of production resources.

Our WatchGuard Firewall is used by our entire organization. It addresses problems such as: protection from intrusive and destructive viruses, protecting our files from Crypto Locker, allowing us to Geo Block countries that are known virus factories. It also allows us to remote in to some of our customers and help them remotely with PC issues.

Watchguard M200 Firewall device is providing the first point of defense from internet and external connections. We are depending on this firewall to prevent unauthorized access from an external network, allow secure access from remote locations using VPN for authorized users, limit internal users using unauthorized applications, log all communication going through the gateway for future analysis, virus and malware scan at the gate as well as routing between multiple local subnets. Watchguard firewall device provides a complete one device solution for small to medium size company looking for a device [that] can be easily set up and maintained. Compare to Cisco or Sonicwall devices, the setup process takes a lot less time for a small installation.

We use WatchGuard Network Security for a business firewall with VPNs to connect directly and securely into our servers. We have also found for our business that using WatchGuard Network Security firewalls allow for a deeper look into the rules and policies. This allows us to make our network more secure for employees.The main business problem that this solves is the ability to set up effective and secure VPN connections.

We use the firebox as our main Firewall/router. It gets the public IP and distributes the traffic on the subnets as well as WiFi.

WatchGuard Network Security provides a well-rounded suite of network security services. We use their firewall appliance to provide edge protection and their endpoint security on our internal systems to provide an additional layer of security. The WatchGuard Network Security firewall provides intelligent security proxies with features like gateway antivirus, DDOS protection, persistent threat detection, website filtering, and detection of malicious patterns of behavior. The fine level of granular control over application-based access control is also a very welcome addition to help with issues like critical data egress. Effective support of VLANs provides us the flexibility we desire to partition our internal networks. The management interfaces are excellent and help make complicated configurations much easier to track and understand. Clearly, a lot of thought has gone into the engineering of these systems. The endpoint protection is centrally managed via a cloud interface that lets us have multiple profiles that can be assigned on a per-device basis. Someone in engineering can have an endpoint profile that's different from someone in shipping, for example. A nicely integrated system designed to solve sticky problems easily.

Upgraded my network security by replacing my old SonicWall firewall with a WatchGuard firebox. So much easier to manage and confidence is much higher. The vpn is worlds better. The Sonicwall would drop vpn connections constantly, have not had any of those issues since moving to the WatchGuard.

It is our Firewall, we also use it for Branch Office VPN's so all sites can connect to one other, and we use VPN with Authpoint for MFA to VPN in

We needed an enterprise grade security appliance that was easy to manage/deploy, but also included a full feature set of security tools/features. WatchGuard fit the bill nicely, not only was it easy to put into place, but it also worked seamlessly with our other platforms. It was almost an immediate ROI.

Have used WatchGuard for about 10 years and currently on my 3rd model as the various models and technologies are improved. Support has been always been very good and the ability to configure the firewalls are straightforward through a great GUI with easy to follow menus. Also, I have used their online videos as needed. They have served as great edge protection.

We use it to monitor and limit traffic to our self-hosted websites. We also use it for VPN access to our self hosted data and as a redundancy system. We use multiple providers to ensure we have internet access 24/7 (as most businesses) and the features provided by the WatchGuard seem to be perfect for that

Firewall and VPN access

As a small business owner, dealing with sensitive data, it is imperative that I protect access to my systems. I have used different firewall products over the last 30 years and find WatchGuard to not only fill the needs I have, but also have a very good price point for the 'Enterprise' SMB market. VPN and traffic security are my main concerns and I find the firewalls combined with AuthPoint to work fantastic. It is a 'all' inhouse solution.

WatchGuard firewalls are our choice to implement perimetral security with security services. We implement WatchGuard AuthPoint to setup 2FA on VPN-SSL access to trusted networks.

We use WatchGuard Network Security throught Total Suite Security to manage all of traffic from our 50 external site and filter all of VLAN with all of Security layer of WatchGuard Network Security. We use the authentication WatchGuard Network Security SSO to identify and manage all of our flows from internal, external and BOVPN. Very easy and explicit diagnostics to troubleshoot access issues.
