WatchGuard Security Review
Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security
We use WatchGuard Network Security to secure all clients networks. We utilize the firewalls to restrict DNS access, block ports and implement additional security measures such as content filtering, Gateway antivirus, Intrusion Prevention, spam blocker. If additional security is needed we upgrade our clients to the Total Security Suite for added protection.

The basic security suite is our go to for new clients. All the applications that are included support our main requirements for network security. This package is affordable and sufficient for most client offices. We do upgrade some clients to the Total Security Suite if they require additional security measures.
We have used Cisco Firewalls and Ubiquiti in the past but we preferred the interface and ease of use of the WatchGuard firewalls. The Cisco devices are complex to configure and leave room for error. The Ubiquiti devices did not have enough features to provide the level of security that we wanted for our clients.
