Great firewalls over the years

  • February 19, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We have been using WatchGuard firewalls for many years across the different models released to keep up with higher bandwidth needs and evolving threats to our networks. We love the multiple layers of defence that you get in the one box each of which reduce the likelihood of compromise events occurring.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is hard to think of anything we don't particularly like about the Watchguard firewall, wireless or 2FA / MFA Solutions (Authpoint) as both product and customer service (support in partucular in rare cases needed have been spot on. No if I was a hacker filling on the section on what you don't like; then I would have a lot to list, but we're on the good guy's team so there you are!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use WatchGuard to secure the office and data centre perimeter traditionally to block external sites trying to connect maliciously and other risks. HTTPS and real time AV scanning help. Lately we are also using TDR (Threat Detection and Response) to correlate issues.
WatchGuard solutions pay for themselves many times over in keeping your IT safe and reducing risks of many of the bad things that happen on the Internet these days.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For network security - firewalls, UTM and endpoint protection WatchGuard is a very reliable partner and combines quality and value at just the right level. The services pay for themselves handsomely in reducing internet risks.

Solid security solutions

  • February 17, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The WatchGuard network security appliances are sized based on throughput & capacity, with even the smallest firewalls having advanced security features. The licensing model is flexible based on need, with "Basic" and "Total" security offerings. Their cloud management and monitoring capabilities have improved over the past couple of years to make managing a fleet of WatchGuard appliances easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features such as client VPN options have varying levels of requirements for other on-site gateways that are more complex to implement than being able to just connect to the WatchGuard Cloud or integrate easily with "cloud-native" organizations (such as Azure AD/Office 365) for authentication, MFA, etc. It would be awesome of all of the client VPN options worked in the same way (IKEv2, SSL VPN, IPsec) for user authentication and MFA implementation. Right now, some can tie into local Active Directory where others require RADIUS instead.

On the client VPN front, it would also be nice to have an option for an "always on" VPN type of connection that happens at the computer/device level rather than the user level for simplifying access for folks working remotely (think AD-joined laptops and issues around expired passwords).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WatchGuard firewalls provide a robust set of security tools at the DNS, antivirus, content filtering, geo-filtering, reputation-based filtering, IDS, etc. The firewalls are a great layer of protection for our business.

Complete, easy security for smaller networks.

  • February 15, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Support is far and away the best thing about Watchguard security. Every time I've had issues they get back to me within a day, and the staff that contacts me are always very knowledgable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setup isn't the easiest thing to do if you're not familiar with what you're doing. There are so many different features that can be integrated, it can sometimes become a bear to stay on top of it. Installation documentation is pretty decent online, though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal data is kept safe and external threats are monitored, reported, and neutralized at all hours. Remote tunneling from any device can be done using our windows logins.
