Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

WatchGuard Firebox firewalls are used at all Corporate and Retail locations to provide perimeter security for each location as well as remote access and BOVPN connectivity.

Pros

  • Initial setup and configuration.
  • Cloud Management.
  • Easy Site-to-Site VPN configuration.
  • WAN Failover.

Cons

  • Log search.
  • Real-Time firewall rule monitoring.
  • Cloud Management has reduced the footprint and complexity of internal network management systems.
  • Cloud Templates greatly help in standardizing configurations.
  • HA and WAN Failover has reduced downtime and helps to make sure stores are always up for processing sales.
CDW provided sales, and a 3rd party consultant firm was contracted for deployment. The process was very smooth.
The Cloud management platform has simplified the deployment process for firewall replacements and new deployments. The ability to create and apply configuration templates greatly simplifies the management of 60+ remote sites as they can share a common set of firewall rules. The BOVPN configuration is also greatly simplified and can be configured with just a few clicks.
