Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

It protects our whole company and is implemented at key employee's homes. It does a great job at covering most of the computer/networking infrastructure security needs.
  • Excellent firewalling capabilities that are easy to implement.
  • Outstanding feature sets within the Total Security Suite that address multiple attack vectors.
  • Better cloud-based management since comparisons is always made to Meraki. Event though Watchguard firewalls are better in almost every other way.
  • Extremely cost-effective. Many times the TDR combined with Windows Defender means no third-party AV solution is required.
NA, we are a Watchguard partner, for the last 18 years.
The only way to purchase is with the Total Security Suite. It gives you virtually everything you need for a comprehensive solution to your security needs in one package.
It's best for smaller organizations up to medium-sized, say in the 1000-2000 users. Especially for organizations that have multiple remote offices connected by VPNs.
