WatchGuard Network Security

WatchGuard firewall appliance

mostly using it as a backup network security device because we have other brand appliances which have centrailized portal to manage devices and faster response UI

• just the UI response being slow
• need access to LAN to manage the firewall so slower response to accident
• it acts well as a temporary solution in our use cases

We use WatchGuard Network Security systems for managing our multiple firewalled networks. The granular security controls and straightforward UI make it easy to configure things as we need them. The site-site VPN functionality and point-site VPN clients enable our offices to collaborate effortlessly and enables WFH to be a nondisruptive option. A small team can manage everything due to its accessible UI options.

• Cost:function is acceptable
• Not overly complex, allowing us to manage in-house instead of having to use a third-party service provider
• pretty much fire-and-forget, allowing staff efficiency

We use WatchGuard to provide perimeter security for our office network. Having a comprehensive advanced security solution in place allows us to have one place to manage our security and assist us in preventing/reducing spam, phishing, and Ransomware from entering our network. Our firewall is one of multiple layers that we trust to protect our organization and our data.

• WatchGuard is a well-established company in the industry, and we are confident in its security solutions.
• This solution meets/exceeds our security objectives for CMMC and the DoD standards.
• I wish their cloud management were much stronger and provided more features similar to those of Meraki. If it did, we would exclusively sell these devices.
