Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

We use it in our own company and we recommend WatchGuard to other businesses to help protect their network infrastructure.
  • Gateway Antivirus works well.
  • Web filtering helps prevent users from going sites they shouldn't be visiting.
  • SSL VPN works great and secure.
  • Routine visit from our WatchGuard rep at least twice a year.
  • Not having to take two tests for two people every two years to stay at the Gold Level. One test each after meeting Gold status should be sufficient.
  • Highly recommend taking the online test for staying at Gold level instead of going to a testing center. Like a continuing education course and an online test.
  • Decent ROI.
  • The increased cost of Basic Security Suite is a price barrier many times for small businesses and that impacts.
  • We do appreciate WatchGuard not reaching out to our clients for renewals and letting us take care of them.
After many years of using WatchGuard Firewalls, we are comfortable with their solutions.
We implemented ourselves.
Absolutely. We like the one appliance and one license. again, the only drawback for small businesses is the Basic Security Suite pricing and renewal costs.
Dimension and Wifi.
Well suited for small businesses except the cost of the Basic Security Suite is becoming a deterrent for the better security because of the cost point for small business.
