Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

As a small business owner, dealing with sensitive data, it is imperative that I protect access to my systems. I have used different firewall products over the last 30 years and find WatchGuard to not only fill the needs I have, but also have a very good price point for the 'Enterprise' SMB market. VPN and traffic security are my main concerns and I find the firewalls combined with AuthPoint to work fantastic. It is a 'all' inhouse solution.

They were vewry good to deal with. Quick and pleasant.
I love being able to access everything from one spot... Until it doesn't work.
You beed to build in a safety feature so you do not 'lock' yourself out of the cloud by doing something wrong.
Example, when you do ANY submit changes, it has a 5 min verification response and if not verified by user, revert back so you don't lose cloud access from remote location.
I am a SMB and run office and my backup sites with minimal users, so this works very nice for me.
My remote sites do not have anyone there...
