Secure your small company with the same protections as big corporations.
Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security
We are a relatively small operation with less than 50 employees, two internal domains, and 30 internal systems. WatchGuard Network Security has made it easy for us to secure our external and internal networks. It also makes it easy to quickly scale up as well. Wether we are managing a single system or a group of them, WatchGuard Network Security's management system makes applying changes quick and painless. WatchGuard Network Security's VPN options were a tremendous benefit to us as we transitioned to an all remote workforce as well. From a networking perspecitve, the ease of setup made that transition go off without a hitch.
Pros
- Easy configuration of VPN
- Excellent tools for troubleshooting
- Extensive logging and notification functionality
- Easy integration with Active Directory, LDAP, and RADIUS
Cons
- TFA is the standard today, but WatchGuard Network Security charges extra to use it
- Finding some lesser used utilities can be complicated
- WatchGuard Network Security saves us money. We cannot afford to be unprotected, but we also cannot afford a full-time network security personnel. WatchGuard Network Security provides us the most advanced protections right out of the box. We don't need to move to cloud services. We can keep in-house and still manage our security safely.
- WatchGuard Network Security reduces downtime with quick responses and, when needed, quick product replacement.
- WatchGuard Network Security provides copious resources for you to easily improve your security posture even further.
We worked with [...] at SytaxInc.com. [...] makes the process simple. We have not problems identifying the security suites and hardware we have needed. He has also been exceptional at providing us all of our options. When we initially purchased and on each renewal, we were confident we were getting exactly what we needed.
Central management is crucial to us. WatchGuard Network Security's functionality here is impertaive in managing multiple locations. The interface makes it easier to ensure you are applying updates to the correct instance. It also makes it much easier to ensure that settings are applied in the same way when necessary. When we have to hop from one management interface to another we know that increases the risk of something going wrong.
WatchGuard Network Security has proven effective at thwarting external attacks, securing our internal environment, and helped us maintain PCI compliance as well. Honestly, I would have to say that we have gotten more out of the security suite than we expected. It is still not uncommon for us to find somethign new we can use to improve our security posture. WatchGuard Network Security essentially just keeps getting better for us.
