Overall Satisfaction with Watchguard Endpoint Security

We implement Watchguard Fireboxes, mostly with Total Security subscriptions, along with EPDR or Passport (EPDR, DNS WatchGo, MFA) onto user devices, to provide a full stream of protection, which continues to function when the devices are away from the office.
Management, monitoring, and alerting is all cloud based, and the products are relatively easy to configure compared to other firewalls and protection systems.
The devices and applications are automatically and constantly updated, and prociding yuo deploy as per Watchguards recommendations, you will be protecting your systems as best as possible.
The multifactor system can be used will numerous applications and systems, unlike MS Authenticator and other MFA apps.
The integration betwen the various applications and firewall units is excellent and Watchguard are constantly adding new features and capabilities.
  • MFA for multiple applications
  • Interaction between Watchguard apps and devices
  • Training and Cetification
  • System Updates
  • Slightly more competitive with pricing
  • Allow a usr who has forgotten their MFa device, to use another users device to temporarily disable MFA for a specified time period; rather than have to call their MSP.
  • Protection stats show how well we have been protected - 1000's of hits, all missed.
  • The cost is negligable compared to a succesful HIT or cost of downtime
  • It is simply another form of good quality insurance, that is a must, just like house and contents.
We work with Dicker Data New Zealand, and they have provided exceptional service, support and training.
The value of having one pane of glass for management, monitoring, and alerting is immense.
The console is easy to use, with a few foibles, as you always expect, but as a percentage, very small.
Businesses are now used to the subscription model, rather than try and budget to replace assets every three to five years and pay for a yearly maintenance fee.
The Watchguard points system makes the process of billing very simple and the client's know their exact costs every month.
This has also allowed us to offer a one-off price per device for protection and management, again keeping it simple for the client, who knows the added cost of another employee and their device.
