What do you like best about the product?
Cloud versions on a single pane. Support is world-class
What do you dislike about the product?
More testing and configuration are needed but currently, no dislikes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We chose Watchguard to move towards having a single vendor for AV, DNS protection, and 2FA. Benefits have been lower TCO and managability.

Great Business Product!

  • October 01, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the fact that initial setup takes all of 10-15 minutes - and renewals couldn't be easier. If you choose to move to new hardware at renewal time, you can also dump your current config and re-upload it to your new hardware. Saving you hours of time in configuration
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the cost of re-licensing every three years. It's close enough to purchasing a new device that we generally always buy new hardware when a license is about to expire
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Watchguard Firewalls are doing multiple things for us - network security, DHCP leases, web blocking functionality, allowing remote workers via SSL VPN, branch office tunnels for communication between buildings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great value for the product received - and it does everything I need it to! Has a software-based management software or can utilize a web-GUI to set up and maintain the device.

WatchGuard: superb network security

  • September 29, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We've used WatchGuard products for 14 years in our organisation. Including multiple rack-mount and desktop Firebox devices and WiFi APs. The best thing about them is reliability. You can trust them to do the job and keep your network secure.
What do you dislike about the product?
I struggle to think of a meaningful negative. Perhaps the WSM client app could do with a UI refresh ... but that's not a serious negative.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All our main and branch office sites use WatchGuard Fireboxes and we use BOVPN to connect all our sites. They provide reliable network security with very little admin overhead which has been a huge benefit to us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Buy with confidence - easy to configure and maintain these devices provide maxium security with minimal admin overhead.

What do you like best about the product?
Watchguard has the easiest GUI and process for setting up a secure network. Any questions I have had about configuring they have been more than helpful and have not only helped by answering questions but have even remoted on and walked through the process with me while explaining it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not had any issues with Watchguard themselves; any issues were with my re-seller.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Watchguard Provides an Easy to Use, configure, and understand solution for network security. They also offer an easy-to-setup Mobile VPN and 2 Factor Authentication to add on as well.

Watchguard offers the best balance of security, performance and competitive pricing in the industry.

  • September 29, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The web interface is the easiest to train new firewall techs on. We also like the fact that the box is bright red so customers can find it if it needs to be restarted.
What do you dislike about the product?
When the UTM expires, the firewall becomes unusable until it is renewed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The UTM services work fast and cost very little bandwidth.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watchguard is a clear choice when comparing to Cisco, Fortinet and others. You get a whole lot more security and performance for the money.
