Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

In our organization, the WatchGuard firewall mostly serves as the main support in providing the service of hybrid work and the central protection point of our internal system. With its excellent Client VPN performance, it allows us much-needed flexibility in our work. Also, WatchGuard is where most of the control mechanisms and risk mitigation of digital business come from.
  • enabling the hybrid work
  • System protection
  • Network monitoring
  • Offline configuration
  • web user interface
  • firewall policy configuration
  • more flexible work
  • better security
  • IT system reorganization
I worked with the partner in the implementation of the firewall. Their in-depth analysis of our existing IT system, together with the knowledge and experience they possess, greatly helped in the reorganization or optimization of the system's operation, better utilization of IT resources setting up quality protection mechanisms and, ultimately, raising awareness of the importance of network security.
We took the HA license and devices to mitigate the point of failure and get a higher level of system availability. The reporting system is very well covered with their free SIEM solution Dimension, which offers great options for traffic monitoring and reporting. Basic security license has enough good protection features.
