Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

We use WatchGuard Total Security Suite among our Cybersecurity solutions for ourselves and our clients. We believe that WatchGuard provides the best protection against ransomware and other malware due to its multi-layered and best-in-breed approach to cybersecurity. WatchGuard's involvement with companies like Forcepoint among other vendors, and services such as DNS watches that won't allow access to sites that have not been approved such as new sites makes WatchGuard a powerful platform. Also, endpoint protection is a great feature. One of the best features is unlimited logging through their Dimension product which comes as part of the subscription at no extra cost. It is a well-known fact that unless your malware is a ransomware variant. most other malware can be present on a network exfiltrating data without being detected for weeks or even months. Having logging that goes back to these periods of time can allow to find out when the malware first started.
  • Prevents access to new and untested sites.
  • Provides inspection of HTTPS traffic
  • Has a very wide in depth approach to security
  • Has the best logging system in the network security field at no extra cost, more likely to be used.
  • We are completely happy with WatchGuard's approach
  • WatchGuard Network Security gives us peace of mind that networks are safe allowing ourselves and our clients to fully focus on their core business.
  • WatchGuard security runs with minimal oversite.
  • WatchGuard Network Security reporting allows an easy overview of security performance without being overloaded with less helpful information.
We are a WatchGuard partner.
No break-ins in more than 10 years.
As a single appliance with a single license covering threat protection, reporting, and management capabilities. there are no expensive add-ons to purchase and integrate into the system. A client may decide to not purchase an add-on to save money e.g. a separate and expensive reporting module. This would compromise the total security posture of an ICT system.
We appreciate the WatchGuard Network Security approach to multilevel security with a layered stack. We believe that using multiple vendors' products does not lock WatchGuard into a single mindset when providing security. Over the years WatchGuard has changed some of its constituent vendors to provide better protection at the time. WatchGuard supplies a full stack security offering that is speedy in operation at any pricepoint compared to its competitors.
