Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Watchguard as our network firewall. Watchguard addresses our security concerns, network traffic, and is the first line of defense for us.

Pros

Customer support
Site to site VPN
Reliability

Cons

Too many portals for similar functions.
Access point configuration can be confusing
EDPR feels very limited

Likelihood to Recommend

Watchguard Endpoint Security is very responsive when it comes to threats. I get a full breakdown of the possible threat and mitigation actions. We have had possible multiple intrusions, and I was given a great breakdown. I have never felt that our appliance or services were less appropriate.

The importance of WatchGuard in your organization

November 1, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We spread the quality and high level of security delivered by Watchguard to our customers. The answer to the high levels of security in operations is their loyalty. In this way, as the business is very much based on good experience, we are able to reach new customers through our customers.

Pros

Secure network
Works like a barrier against malware, pishing an other things
delivers peace off mind
Helpd to be confidence in our jobs.

Cons

Costemize firewall
User friendly costumizations
Easy to use plataform

Likelihood to Recommend

I can tell you about an episode that happened with a client of ours, in which machines were systematically targeted, which resulted almost always in data loss, and high financial recovery costs. I advised the acquisition of Watchguard, and since then the customer has never experienced any problems again. Watchguard is a high-quality product at an affordable price for organizations. I can't describe any situation where it's not suitable.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently, we use it as a proactive malware and anti-virus solution for our clients. It goes beyond the usual antivirus by giving detailed analysis and in-depth threat protection.

Pros

Zero trust platform works wells without much issue
It provides the ability to give web traffic reports based on the endpoint
It gives you the ability to assess/learn the environment through 3 stages to minimize false positives.

Cons

The exclusions seems to work 50% of the time
There are no silent updates. The computer needs to reboot every time with an EDPR banner displayed.
The cloud portal does not update in real time. Sometimes it takes up to 10 minutes to update.
Users are notified when an application EPDR does not is blocked and is being assessed but the user is not alerted when the application is approved or determined as goodware.

Likelihood to Recommend

We have had numerous instances of the cloud portal not updating and updates causing panic among users. This would cause an influx of tickets into our helpdesk. Users are not notified when an application is approved or determined as goodware and the exclusions tend to work only 50% of the time. It does perform really well as it pertains to zero trust and it does allow you to gradually learn the environment to avoid issues with 3 stages which are audit, hardening and lock mode.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Watchguard Endpoint Security as a lower cost alternative to Sophos products. We've found it to be an adequate replacement for customers who focus more on budget. Watchguard Endpoint Security offers a decent level of security for its price point but seems far less comprehensive to the Sophos alternative; which is out endpoint solution of choice.

Pros

Priced well
Solid protection
Easy to deploy
Easy to manage

Cons

More comprehensive profile configuration
Being more light on system resources
Better distributors

Likelihood to Recommend

We offer Watchguard Endpoint Security as a low cost alternative to Sophos Endpoint. As such, I would recommend this product to anyone with a customer with that same sort of mindset. It would also be appropriate for customers with a more 'basic' environment as configuring profiles is far less in depth compared to Sophos.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Watchguard Endpoint Security to protect against access internet, viruses, ransomware, spyware, ips and other malicious software. On the contrary, Watchguard Endpoint Security has helped us avoid problems, our scope of use cases: we are small and medium-sized businesses: Watchguard helps us to protect against common threats and ensures compliance with regulations. It also provides comprehensive endpoint security for our networks.

Pros

Instruction protection access
block external unwanted traffics
denied by geolocation
treat protection blocked by site, ports,
botnet detections

Cons

system manager - SD-WAN, front panel view
policy manger - watchguard cloud features, dnswatch, intelligentAV, others+
I'd like to see a friendlier graphical interface

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited:
* Implementing policies * Connecting intercompany site via VPN * DNSWatch in order to be a step ahead of any instruction attempt

Less appropriate: * Thinking in this question really, I don't have any compliant, for our company. We have implemented several Watchguard products like WPDR, Firebox M390

The best endpoint security software we ever worked with.

Rating: 10 out of 10

September 5, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Watchguard Endpoint Security to protect our endpoints from threats, mainly, malware and virus received by email or downloaded. We also use it to prevent our users from accessing some webpages that are not part of the job. Our company needed a software that addressed the protection of the endpoint and was also easy to deploy and maintain, Watchguard Endpoint does that.

Pros

Centralized Management
Threat Detection and Prevention
Website blocking

Cons

Multi-Platform Support, for example iOS
Incident Reporting
Automize tasks

Likelihood to Recommend

We believe Watchguard Endpoint Security, is well suited to small business companies that need a robust but affordable endpoint security system, that do not have personnel allocated to IT or have one person. This Product does a very good job with an affordable price. For large enterprises it should be completed with a firewall.
