Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

Watchguard is used as one layer of network border security and as a means to connect various internal networks through VPN access. It is used not only for ID and IP but also serves as a spam filter, and web access control as well. We also use the Watchguard Dimension Log Server as a means of managing the logs and monitoring security from each of our firewalls.

CDW - We do as much of our IT purchasing as possible through CDW and the service has always been great!
Easy, Easy, Easy. You probably won't need it, but if you do, their support has always been next level and offered great response time. Very friendly, professional, and thorough. Once your device is in place, you can put it into production immediately with little to no configuration. After that it's easy to make the changes you need for granular data control.
The fact that everything is bundled with Watchguard's simplified packaging and licensing makes everything incredibly simple to set up and maintain. Renewing is as simple as activating the new license and then copying/pasting the new feature key into the firewall's configuration.
Watchguard has a much more intuitive interface and an easier deployment than other devices I've used. Their pricing model is also better as they always have something in my range that serves my needs, as opposed to constantly trying to push me into higher-priced devices and services that are far overpowered for my purposes.

The ease of use and deployment is outstanding. Because of this, it is great for any situation where you have to quickly deploy a site. It is also incredibly handy for setting it and forgetting its configurations. If you have limited IT staff (or none at all) Watchguard is going to be incredibly useful because it delivers the strength you need to trust your data with an easy setup and minimal maintenance for you.
