WatchGuard NetWORKS Security
Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security
We, as one of the biggest WatchGuard resellers in South Africa, implement WatchGuard Firebox appliances at all our SMB customers throughout the country in various industries. We have scenarios where we implement one appliance across the whole organization and other scenarios where we deploy the firewalls across all national branches, where each branch breaks out individually. By using WatchGuard we address the following problems: 1) monitoring all incoming and outgoing traffic to prevent any data breaches 2) enforcing company policies on internet usage.
- WatchGuard Cloud for Patch Management
- Web blocking
- Rulesets
- Network Discovery
- VPN Client
- Reporting Services - For instance something like Fortinet Cloud Management
- Drastic price increases during pandemic
- Pricing is no longer as competitive versus the better market-performing products
No, we are the WatchGuard Network Security partner.
Yes, it eliminates any unnecessary costs by having to buy 2 or 3 different security modules. Providing end-users with one bundled cost sometimes proves to be easier and less explanatory than having them see expenses for each individual cost of each security bundle.
FortiGate overall provides better protection for bigger and more advanced networks, but on an SMB scale, I think both products are equally as brilliant. However, WatchGuard costs have increased to the point where FortiGate (a much more reputable name) can sometimes be more cost-effective than WatchGuard.
