Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

Our customers' trust in us is critical to our business. In particular, financial information such as bank accounts and credit card data are highly protected. We encrypt and break up this data, but our Watchguard Network Security firewall is always our first line of protection
  • seamless protection
  • no hassles
  • don't worry about security
  • cost-effectiveness is tricky for a small company
  • Minimal manpower invested in protecting our server/workstations
  • Minimal people investment in training, enforcement, network security management
  • Pretty much "set and forget"
I'd be concerned if I were less technically knowledgeable, but I haven't really had any difficulty.
We don't make money managing firewalls--mostly set and forget means we can concentrate our efforts on our actual business.
We use Norton software firewall as a secondary, but it never shows any thing slipping past Watchguard Network Security. In 20+ years we have only used Watchguard Network Security.

Do you think WatchGuard Network Security delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with WatchGuard Network Security's feature set?

Yes

Did WatchGuard Network Security live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of WatchGuard Network Security go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy WatchGuard Network Security again?

Yes

We're a small, decentralized company, and deploying Watchguard Network Security to each of our remote workers probably wouldn't work well. On the other hand, Watchguard Network Security is ideal protecting our central financial, confidential and proprietary data. Fortunately, I have enough technical background to manage the firewall; for a small company with little technical ability, this may not work.
