Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

We use WatchGuard Network Security to secure our business from outside threats and potential malware or unwanted files. We also recommend WatchGuard Network Security to ALL of our clients. We install and configure a lot of WatchGuard and we never have any issues. This is the baseline for our network security. One feature we really like is disabling websites based on region.

Pros

  • Block websites from certain regions.
  • Protect us from unwanted or malicious files.
  • Blocking spam emails or notifications.

Cons

  • The configurations of watchguard was a little hard to learn.
  • Setting up a whitelist for websites from certain regions we have blocked.
  • DNS filtering software.
  • Enhanced security; Prevention of compromise.
  • Simplified managment.
  • Improved operational efficiency.
No, we did not work with a WatchGuard partner for purchase or implementation. We implement the WatchGuard Network Security for all of our clients ourselves. So we have learned WatchGuard Network Security almost like the back of our hands. Anytime we are in contact with WatchGuard support, it always goes very well. We appreciate the service provided, and we are satisfied with the results so far.
The unified security platform from WatchGuard provides us significant value through its ease of management capabilities. It allows all security products and solutions ot be managed from one interface, which we find super beneficial. This simplifies administration, improves visibility across the network, and reduces the time spent switching between multiple management tools.
Utilizing WatchGuard Cloud products together has had a positive impact on our business by making our security management easier and improving our visibility across the network and endpoints. Now it is way easier to monitor threats, manage policies, and even deploy updates from a single platform. The centralized dashboard really comes in handy.
Although we still use Upiquity for WiFi or internet use, we still often rely on WatchGuard Network Security. We find the two very integrable and easy to use with each other. We selected WatchGuard Network Security because it delivers enterprise-grade protection to small to mid-sized businesses, which we work with a lot of the time.
