Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

We use it as a stateful firewall, as well as pretty much all of the extra security services such as Gateway AV, intelligent AV, APT Blocker, WebBlocker, SpamBlocker etc. This helps to protect our network from many different attack vectors, as well as filtering out unnecessary (spam) and inappropriate (web) content
  • Granular firewall policy
  • All security services provided from the Firebox and not requiring extra servers etc
  • Excellent training
  • No SIEM option
  • No ZTNA functionality, just traditional VPN
  • Support mostly US based, so often reply out of hours from a UK perspective
  • As a reseller it has added an additional income stream
  • As an end user it has protected us from cyber attack and associated losses
We can manage our own security services and all of our customers services from one interface, which is very useful
Both are very similar and have equal pros and cons. We chose WatchGuard based on a recommendation
