Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

We utilize WatchGuard to protect the edge of a number of customer sites (50+).
We've also used these internally for network segmentation / further protection of production resources.
  • Packet filtering
  • Gateway AV
  • DNSWatch
  • Content Filtering (Webblocker)
  • Authpoint could use improvements
  • Certification path could have better materials / practice exams.
  • Panda update process could use work.
  • MSSP Program provides low point of entry, fair monthly rate - immediate ROI.
  • Implementation is significantly less learning curve than competitors, with equivalent protection.
  • Very low training overhead to internal staff for ongoing policy modifications.
N/A - I am a WatchGuard Partner.
From the MSP perspective this is huge. We are able to manage a number of customer firewalls without navigating customer by customer or individually connecting.
They do the job as designed. The vast majority of products line up with our use case.
Less learning curve, faster implementation, and dependably reliable.
