Robust protection, easy to deploy
What do you like best about the product?
The WatchGuard System Manager provides an easy to use interface that makes it a breeze to understand the configuration of the device.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unable to connect with the Watchguard System Manager with the admin/config credential, you have to use the status/readonly account to initially connect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Watchguard allows us to secure the networks of our clients while permitting for easy and safe communication. The SSL VPN client makes it simple to allow remote users to connect to network resources without opening them up to attack
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Since learning to work with watchguard products I dread working with any other firewalls, Sonicwall, CIsco ASA and Fortigaurd/Fortigate have complicated interfaces that make you dig through multiple tabs to configure simple rules, the Watchguard System Manager is almost too easy to use.

Complete Security Solution in one box
What do you like best about the product?
I came from a background of Fortinet, Cisco and other firewalls so watchguard was something that i had to take time to learn and review its features. I have to say that i'm very impressed by the number of features it has, and the ease at which you can enable things. We now have the total security suite running at all our sites, as well as TDR additions and havnet looked back.
What do you dislike about the product?
The devices we have come with a single PSU and no option to upgrade, seems you have to splash out a fair whack more to get that addition.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is our perimieter defenence, web filtering, AV scanning, DLP, malware, APT and ransomeware protection (basically everything)

Enable all the features and dont be afraid to talk to their tech support when setting it up to ensure you get the firewall rules "just right"
