Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

We use WatchGuard security for IPS, AV, geolocation and Botnet detection to protect our network from unwanted threats. We use it at our point of entry in our network on the Watchguard M5600. We find the defense system excellent for our needs. We highly recommend it to other organizations without reservation.

Pros

  • Geolocation. Tells me exactly where the threat is coming from.
  • Updates automatically all security services.
  • Is a part of Live Security subscription.

Cons

  • Application control difficult to implement
  • It has prevented great loss of $$ since we have not had to chase down unwanted threats.
Find the products I have fairly easy to use.
Perhaps some tutorials would help me understand it better for the stuff I have deficiencies in.
Yes, single packaging has taken the guesswork of working with the products.
I have Geolocation to be useful when evaluating potential IP's that are questionable. Intrusion Prevention has definitely helped in securing the network. A strong point for WatchGuard.
