Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

I have used WatchGuard firewalls for 20 years and they have never let me down. Connecting over 30 BOVPNs to a central firewall and having the security it offers has made my life less stressful. With covid, we have utilized secure mobile vpn more often than ever. The firewall is as good as the policies you build into it.
  • BOVPN
  • Mobile VPN
  • Port Forwarding
  • WatchGuard System Manger limited to only 20 firewalls.
  • Easier roll out of mass changes.
  • Easier mass updates.
  • Very limited down time due to updates.
  • No downtime due to product defects.
I have worked with JSCM Group for about 5 years for purchasing and 1 training class. They have been great. We have done our own implementations.
I have not used this yet. I would expect it to save me time and make things easier to manage and report on.
Security for a good price, that has been reliable for 20 years.
