WatchGuard and us.
Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security
Watchguard Firebox devices form a key critical pillar in our security setup for our and our client's systems. In previous employment, we had a number of clients suffer crypto attacks, network breaches, and other security incidents. When we started our new company, we selected Watchguard Firebox with Total Security as a must-have for ourselves and all clients we support. We firmly believe that this decision has been key in avoiding network security issues for the 5+ years while allowing our clients visibility of internet usage and to get on with what they do with confidence in their security.

We are a WatchGuard Security Partner.
Having a single appliance/license simplifies the conversation with clients; we find the more complicated the licensing is for a product, the more a client can feel confused about the solution, which leads to indecision. We only offer WG's total security license, so customers can rest easy knowing they are getting the full feature stack both now and for any new features added during their licensed period.
WatchGuard was selected due to product familiarity; their free training courses mean we have all our technicians qualified in their use. Support has always been top-notch. And security is their focus; there's no trying to sell additional HW or add-ons. Although somewhat from experience, we find WG devices simpler and easier to configure with no jumping through hoops or multiple pages for basic configuration tasks, and when things aren't working, the comprehensive logging and reporting tools allow quick identification of the cause.
