Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

We user WatchGuard Network Security Firewalls, AP's and Authpoint solutions in our environment. The simplicity of the interfaces to configure the devices and servics makes it easy for our team to manage the solutions effectively without having to reinvent the wheel.

Pros

  • Easy to manage policies in firewalls
  • Easy setup for wireless setup across the company
  • Authpoint allows us to MFA to servers to add another layer of security

Cons

  • Wifi5 to Wifi6 devices are in separate portals which is cumbersome.
  • Integrations with other populate security stacks is very lacking
  • Solution is generally 30% cheaper that some of the other solutions we have done POV's for
We have worked with Binatech, Tenet and Audcomp through our journey with WatchGuard Network Security.
For the products we can manage in the cloud portal it is great. But as mentioned in previous question, WIFI5 devices are isolated in their own portal which is very disappointing.
The products work well together. No complaints
Based on bang for dollar, WatchGuard Network Security fits our business needs and budget.
Only drawback was integrations with other security solutions.
