Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

We use WatchGuard Network Security Fireboxes to secure the boundary of our networks. These provide good security for cost, and with the advanced firmware, the systems are always being updated with new software and features.
  • Firewall
  • Security
  • SSL VPN
  • the new WatchGuard Cloud environment needs improvement
  • The partner portal is quite complicated
  • Alerts for devices don't have custom options
  • Gateway security is handled
  • Peace of mind
We are a WatchGuard Network Security partner.
We have used the WatchGuard Network Security system manager for years to manage the devices. The new cloud has been tested and the functionality at the time was great for reporting (basic subscriptions are limited to 1 day on the logs 30 days for the full), however, the cloud configuration at the time of testing was lacking in some features. As the cloud is new and being developed constantly, I am confident these issues will be addressed.
We are using the WatchGuard Network Security Cloud for reporting. The WatchGuard Network Security management is not fully in use but has been tested. The functions during testing were missing a bit, but are new, and still being developed.
We found WatchGuard Network Security to provide the best protection and function combined in one device.
