Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

WatchGuard Network Security T20W Firebox firewall is one of the most versatile internet security devices on the market. It give you all the security features of the other major brands, and then some. I love that it has the ability to be managed via the WatchGuard Network Security System Manager client app plus the web interface. At no additional cost this device also allows you to configure site-site VPN and also mobile IPsec VPN and WatchGuard Network Security has their own VPN client software to make the connection even more secure. I would say this device is probably the best bank for the buck you will get on the market and the support service are also amazing. Keep up the good work WatchGuard Network Security Team.

Having less places to input or extract information makes less possibilities for errors. With serious time constraints it nice to be able to work in one platform. Going back and forth in different platforms would create even more work.
WatchGuard Network Security cloud products especially the APs have been especially useful in managing multi sites and maintaining consistent policies in each locations. Also the cloud managed APs have made it easier to introduce WatchGuard Network Security products in a site with existing infrastructure which we can't replace easily.
SonicWall devices have some of the same features as WatchGuard Network Security but I feel the interface is harder to navigate. Also they do not have the management app available to manage their devices so the only option is the web client.

I have used WatchGuard Network Security products in alot of healthcare environments the require a bit more robust performance and security features in the IT infrastructure. Being able to have the flexibility to do VLANs and VPNs even in the lower end models in amazing. The ability to do WAN failover for multi-wan environments is also a bonus.
