Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

We use WatchGuard Network Security hardware and security services at the perimeter of the network to protect our users from accessing malicious sites and or content. With the IPS system we are able to have malicious network traffic detected and blocked to protect our valuable information. We also use the mobile VPN client with the WatchGuard firewall to allow end users access to company resources in a secure fashion.

I did not work with a WatchGuard partner for sale and or implementation. We work directly with WatchGuard to procure hardware for our customers and then later configure and deploy. WatchGuard has always been great to work with and their support staff is very knowledgeable and will get you to a solution quickly.
The value of WatchGuard's unified security platform, which allows for the management of various security products and solutions from one place, lies in its ability to streamline security operations, improve efficiency, and enhance visibility and control over the organization's security posture. For IT associates and businesses, the items above are invaluable.
Watchguard cloud products will save time and money. The centralized management of hardware alone is invaluable with our numerous remote sites. To see everything under one portal is super convenient as well as informative. Rolling out global changes to many sites is also streamlines. This makes everything very scalable for our companies continued growth.
I find the watchguard interface and central management much more intuitive and informative. The ease of use of the watchguard products and services are second to none. The support behind their products also adds a value that is indispensable. The hardware itself has always been very reliable and has performed as expected.

The security service packages also add a ton of value and protections to users and company data and also help meet specific compliance requirements that are in place.
