Overall Satisfaction with Watchguard Endpoint Security

At my mid sized Manufacturing and development company we have been using Watchguard Endpoint Security for close to a year. The Watchguard cloud dashboard makes it extremely easy to manage. From the Monitor tab I am able to easily see a snapshot of my security posture. Devices are listed in a clear manner that displays all the information that is needed.
Installation of the endpoint protection was a worry to start but after setting up initial polices it proved to be really easy. By setting a network scan device I was able to see all my devices and just use their tools to remotely install the protection. It also uninstalled our previous endpoint software.
  • Ease of Installation
  • Quickness of addressing false positives
  • Accuracy in detection
  • Easier way to install on fedora based OS's (centos in my case)
  • Easier implementation of the SEIM feeder.
  • Ability for user to respond when a legit program is flagged as a false positive.
  • We have saved close to $1000 a year from our previous EPDR (Cylance)
Qualia Computers NJ LLC service was perfect!
I only use the Endpoint Protection but we are looking into implementing the firewalls and access points in the future
Just using the EPDR on its own we were able to free up capital to upgrade many of our IT devices.
Watchguard is simply easier to implement than even Defender. The cost to value ratio is high as Watchguard subscription is cheaper than many other options.

Do you think Watchguard Endpoint Security delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Watchguard Endpoint Security's feature set?

Yes

Did Watchguard Endpoint Security live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Watchguard Endpoint Security go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Watchguard Endpoint Security again?

Yes

Watchguard Endpoint Security is perfect for the Internal IT Team. After my company was dropped by our MSP we were scrambling to find an easy and affordable but powerful EPDR tool to replace the one that would be going out of subscription. Watchguard met our compliance requirements and also worked on our older machines.
