Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security
As a managed service provider, we've used WatchGuard Network Security fireboxes as our "platform" of choice for our customer firewall deployments. We employ the Watchguard Total Security Suite to ensure that our customer networks are fully protected. on deployments where there are multi-site, we use the BoVPN and SD-WAN to direct traffic to appropriate sites and resources.
- Training
- Partner Program
- Demo/NFR Units
- Network Switches are not in the portfolio
- The wireless devices are nice, but don't seem to fit our stack for the pricepoint.
- At least in my situation, Authpoint is difficult to sell when compared to other identity providers.
- At our parent organization, we completely switched from Cisco Meraki to WatchGuard Network Security Fireboxes, which gave us better control as well as better ROI for features. We replaced 5 Meraki Security Appliances with WG Fireboxes
- There are several more models and licensing options that allow us to taylor fit a unit to each of our customers. We've deployed 11 devices in the past 2 years.
- As stated in previous questions, I wish that I was aware of a competitive Non-Profit program.
The Managed Service Provider of my organization is a WatchGuard Network Security partner, so we did not need the services of an outside organization.
We have not yet utilized this feature. We have been reluctant to use the unified cloud platform, since as a part of our SOP we have on-site devices to automate setup and monitoring. I believe that in the future we may find that this will help us to be more nimble.
The only cloud product we currently use is the DNSwatch platform. This has allowed us to ensure that our user base is fully protected even when they are not on a WatchGuard Network Security protected site. We use the DNSwatch Go softare for those particular users.
I would much prefer utilizing WatchGuard Network Security. When stacked against any Unifi product, WatchGuard Network Security is vastly superior. When compared with Meraki, I have much greater control over WatchGuard Network Security Fireboxes. When compared to fortinet or other cisco products, I believe the value and ROI is much more tangible.
