Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

Currently several of our clients utilize WatchGuard Network Security for their firewall and VPN needs; the VPN is straightforward and user friendly which makes the implementation of VPNs for users that need them quick and easy. The interface for WatchGuard Network Security is also technician friendly and intuitive to use. We have not experienced any problems or security issues and don't need to worry about unsafe traffic for our clients.

Pros

  • Friendly GUI for the WatchGuard Network Security interface
  • Easy to use VPN
  • Peace of mind

Cons

  • GUI could use a more modern look
  • Some menus in WatchGuard Network Security GUI could be more concise
  • Very little downtime
  • Easy setup
  • Easy to move for clients changing physical locations
Unified security platforms offer concise management of cyber security assets and in my experience, make it easier to show value returns to clients as well as offer better digests of cyber security statistics. It's also a lot easier to have everything in one place instead of having multiple different tools or platforms.

Yes

For small to medium businesses, WatchGuard Network Security is easy to implement and manage and offers a client side VPN that is easy to use. Users can utilize RADIUS to have the same username and password they utilize for their domains which is great, since fewer passwords for users to remember means less work on the IT technician's side.
