We worked directly with WatchGuard. Their implementation team was outstanding. They assisted us with our initial deployment of over 100 devices and it went seamlessly. They came onsite to our office to help train our technical team on all aspects of the device. They continue to support us directly with any issues we may have.
The single license model has benefited our smaller clients who have a single location as they do not need to purchase a corporate license. For our largest client, who has over 50 locations, some sort of quantity discount would be nice. Also the ability to line up the licenses so they have the same renewal date would be great.
The Barracuda [Firewall Insights] firewall was similar in features to WatchGuard [Network Security] but was more expensive. The implementation team at Barracuda could not get the firewalls to work in our environment and the support they provided was not up to standard. We actually started with Barracuda and canceled the project due [to] the lack of implementation support. WatchGuard stepped up and their implementation support was stellar.
