Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

Firewall and VPN access
  • Good interface
  • Set it and forget it, very little maintenance
  • Lots of documentation for various settings
  • traffic monitor could be easier to use/understand
  • Graphical interface saves time over Cisco command line
  • Fairly easy migration from old Cisco firewall to WatchGuard
Worked with NETWORK DESIGN & MANAGEMENT for purchase. They were good to work with. Have used them to upgrade WatchGuard appliance and add mobile VPN licenses. We did implementation ourselves as part of a move so had time to configure and test before going live. Was a good learning experience for ongoing maintenance and changes.
We don't use the unified platform, we are too small and have only one WatchGuard appliance.
Don't use WatchGuard cloud products.
Selected WatchGuard based on price, reviews and ease of management.
