WatchGuard Partner

We worked with IronEdge, and are happy with the service they have provided.

WatchGuard Unified Security Platform

We believe that we will experience greater protection from the unified security platform. This will enable us to free up our IT staff and allow them to focus on other areas of the business, while the unified security platform does most of the heavy lifting. We believe this will also give our IT staff more clarity, so we are more informed on what type of threats we should be watching out for.

WatchGuard Cloud

WatchGuard Cloud products have had a great impact on our business. We do not currently utilize many of the cloud offerings, but the ability to have used has provided us to get fast insights on all of our WatchGuard products in one place.
