Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

We use WG Network Security and have been happy with the product. Would recommend it!
  • Safeguards computer networks from malware and ransomware
  • Better UI
  • It's had a positive impact by giving us peace of mind
Yes, it was pretty easy to setup and was simpler than other firewalls I've used
I did notice that WatchGuard has made an effort to have multiple tools and features in one place on the platform. It's nice not having to go to another platform to work on things.
It's has a big impact on our cybersecurity and the overall secureness of the company.
I have used Fortinet in the past as well but prefer to use WatchGurad Netowrk Security. I like the UI more and it's easier to use.

It's straightforward and relatively easy to use. I like the user interface and can find my way around easily. There is plenty of documentation and help articles if needed as well.
