Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

Watchguard is a true business grade firewall and with Cloud Management is making the ease of use even easier. What I love is the ability to be able to view traffic going through the device to find issues and resolve them. Watchguard support is brilliant and with follow the sun support there is always someone on hand should we run into any issues we can't fix. Sales teams are no pushy and just on the end of the phone when we want to order more devices.

Overall 10/10 for Watchguard devices
  • Geo Location restrictions
  • Gateway anti-virus
  • BGP VPNs to AWS and Azure
  • None that I can think of
  • Less support overhead on managing the firewalls
  • Easier deployment of devices and upgrades
  • Better secure networks, securing critical workloads
We are a service provider and partner
Single interface for all security products makes managing and supporting the products so much easier.
Best upgrade to Watchguard in the last few years. Cloud products work seamlessly together and management in a single portal makes life 100 times easier than logging into 5 different products and forcing them to work together
Cost comparison - Watchguard is much cheaper and simpler to use and manage

Yes

Did WatchGuard Network Security live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of WatchGuard Network Security go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy WatchGuard Network Security again?

Yes

We use these devices in multiple client infrastructures and multiple business sectors. We even run virtual devices in AWS and Azure. I am yet to find a solution that Watchguard doesn't fit the solution. The HA capability is pretty bullet proof and doesn't require multiple IP addresses to give HA on external lines
