Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

WatchGuard [Netword Security] firewalls are a comprehensive firewall solution that goes beyond a basic firewall. WIth the client deployed on all computers, WatchGuard [Netword Security] takes a multi-step approach to defense, monitoring the computer and firewall at the same time to detect threats that may otherwise go unnoticed. It has helped us identify abuse of the network by individuals and prevent their access in the future. It keeps our public WiFi safe and secure for our clients.
  • Perimeter firewall
  • Web filtering
  • Secure wifi
  • High internet speed
  • Ease of use
  • Free cloud control
  • Improved internet speeds enhanced productivity.
  • High internet speeds allow [the] streaming of high-quality content.
  • Network security helped us block abuse of the internet connection (a public user was streaming pirated material).
We worked with Nuvias who are great. They provided certified training sessions on all their products and their support is really effective. We had a small issue on one of the ports and they tested and arranged a replacement really quickly.
Their packages are great, we go with the total security suite and it has everything we need and a whole lot more. I just wish we had time to [sit] down and make use of all the features!
WatchGuard [Netword Security] is far better, their VPN allows name resolution [that] none of the others do which has been a huge help with all the new remote working. The appliance just performs 24/7 with little-to-no intervening, a class above!

Would you buy WatchGuard Network Security again?

Yes

[It is] very well suited for networks with 50 users or more, and definitely when you are providing a public service or wifi. Their firewalls have a very high throughput and spec, so our client can take advantage of their high internet speeds, and share this over their public wifi. If you want to track and trace the usage of your wifi and network, this gives accountability and integration with existing network servers and clients.
