Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

I use the WatchGuard Network Security for their security features, protecting us from the outside. I also will use the VPN capabilities, but mainly for myself and one or two others that access the sites remotely.
  • Protection from the outside world
  • Numerous updates daily to security definitions
  • VPN access is very easy
  • Sometimes the firewall rules are a bit confusing as far as Cloning and Creating, but that could just be me
  • We no longer spend any time/money cleaning up bugs, viruses, or advertising infections
  • Really helps with secure remote access when needed, saves money and time when people are traveling or unable to come in to the office
  • Saves a lot on travel when the techs don't have to be onsite and can do some things remotely
JSCM Group, we adore them and have no intention of working with anyone else!
I don't do a ton with the Watchguard Cloud, although it really helps to be able to do firmware updates at night, settings those up in the Cloud interface.
I went to a security seminar hosted by WatchGuard Network Security, my first foray into devices besides Netgear and Linksys from Best Buy. I never really looked any farther. I have had to work a few other devices here and there, and I have clearly been spoiled by WatchGuard Network Security.

Yes

Did implementation of WatchGuard Network Security go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy WatchGuard Network Security again?

Yes

Great for small and medium companies, provides a lot of piece of mind with little configuration for a non-techy office, or without adequate support.
It isn't needed in a home or even one or two person office.
