Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security
We have two locations and utilize WatchGuard firewalls at both locations. They are great at being able to filter out a lot of unwanted traffic and autoblocking probing attempts. Linking the stores is easy and super reliable. It greatly reduces our exposure to malware and phishing attempts.
- Easy, intuitive configuration
- Reliable
- Easy troubleshooting with great easy to read logs
- Secure
- Great performance
- SUPPORT - Their Support is spot on and easy to reach. Extremely knowledgeable.
- Spam-filtering review--admin can't review spam for lazy users
- Whitelisting/Exclusions in one area might be helpful
- Don't change much. It is a great product.
- Adding some configuring to the spam filtering on what to catch could be a lot easier.
- Very positive--fewer issues means less downtime
- Fewer issues means I get to focus on new things instead of maintaining the old.
- Can effectively manage the network with fewer people
Worked with CTG of Amarillo for purchase. I program the firewalls myself since I'm really familiar with them. The reseller has always done a great job of getting me the right equipment for the situation and the right licensing.
This greatly benefits us with a much simpler way to maintain licensing. I know in 3 years, I need to renew or it gives a good excuse to upgrade.
Ease of use and cost of licensing. I feel the protections are similar, even though I like WatchGuard's better. The price made it an easy sell to the other executives. I liked WatchGuard over the others in every category: price, reliability (same in all), ease of use, protection, and logging.
