Overall Satisfaction with Watchguard Endpoint Security
We use WatchGuard as our primary endpoint security solution for customers, larger customers benefit from its Unified Security approach (network, endpoint, cloud) and overall am very happy. For us WatchGuard is profitable, easy to deploy and manage and is exceptionally extensible.
While we do support things like Defender for Endpoint and other competitors when needed, its just such as stark difference that we really push WatchGuard as a business. Easy to deploy, configure, adjust, segment, integrates with pretty much anything. For an SME that wants enterprise security without all the cost and complications, WatchGuard are just the ticket. And even for our larger customers it just scales so well.
Most of our customers are regulated is some way, so I'm never looking for the cheapest product or the one that offers crazy margins - there's always a give right? WatchGuard are just perfect, so that's what we sell to our customers.
Pros
- Web Access Control
- EPP, EDR and EPDR options
- License allocation for tenants
- Threat Intelligence
- Single-Pane of Glass (yes, really)
- Product Updates
- Passing pentents
- Extensible security (XDR, etc)
Cons
- AuthPoint could do with more integrations / piggyback off larger IdPs
- Healthy margins when reselling
- De-risks most of our customers completely
- Supports multi-engine / defence in depth because it's easy to configure
- Anti-Exploit is easy-peasy
- Web-Access Control lets us block most naughty stuff
- 50-70% ROI when accounting for ease of selling, ongoing maintenance, etc. Very fire-and-forget for SMEs who all are broadly the same industry
Northamber, Pax8 - both very good, both exceptionally helpful.
It's incredibly valuable, I can just log in and have complete visibility of across ALL of our tenants. Unlike other systems it's a wider field of view initially and I can drill down when I want to, as opposed to having nested dashboards and crappy configurations.
We are all-in for adopting as many of WatchGuard's solutions as we possibly can, and offering it for our customers. It's no-nonsense stuff, and there is no point in us trying to re-invent the wheel when we have WatchGuard.
- Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
- Sophos Managed Detection and Response
- Symantec Advanced Threat Protection
- Bitdefender GravityZone
- Cortex Xpanse by Palo Alto Networks
WatchGuard is hands-down better than the competition, on price and value as well its amazing ROI. It scales easily and deals with the most complex security needs one could have. All the while having a UI which is seamless, ensuring that my team don't have to hunt through nested dashboards like with Microsoft and don't have to re-learn as the vendor 'innovates'. With WatchGuard my team learn it once and then just enjoy the ride, it's stress-free security.
