Overall Satisfaction with Watchguard Endpoint Security

WatchGuard Endpoint Security effectively protects workstations and servers with a discreet and resource-efficient agent. Management via WatchGuard Cloud is quite easy and provides a comprehensive overview of the security of your entire machine fleet. On the other hand, the close relationship between the terminal security solution and that of the internet gateway makes it possible to automate actions in the event of detected threats.

Pros

  • Reducing "noise," fewer alerts for more protection
  • Automatic blocking and cleaning of infected devices
  • A single platform for configuring, deploying and monitoring agents

Cons

  • Provide predefined configuration templates (desktop workstation, laptop, kiosk, etc.)
  • It's difficult to quantify, as we're just starting to migrate our customers to the WatchGuard solution.
No, we are a WatchGuard partner and implement the solutions ourselves.
Understanding how the platform works isn't always easy.Nevertheless, it's clear that centralizing resources brings many advantages: a single console for all products, easier deployment of updates, and simplified access to system logs.And the fact that the console is multi-tenant is another benefit.
The unified console provides comprehensive visibility into the security components deployed at a client's site, saving time in managing them.
  • WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection
The WithSecure EPDR only covers part of the security needs.Using WatchGuard Endpoint Security covers the same needs, but with close integration with other security solutions used, such as the WatchGuard firewall.

Yes

The solution works well on all configurations, whether on standard office computers or graphical workstations, because the agent is resource-efficient.
No slowdowns were observed on the file servers.
On the database servers, it is necessary to exclude the folder containing the active database files to avoid file locks and performance degradation.
