Simple Secure Performance

  • November 18, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that you can register your device in the portal by serial number and ascribe policies and services to your access point, then send it on out to the office that needs it, and it all just works when they plug it in. Instant security right from the get-go.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it takes a little bit of work to set up personal allowlists and exclusions using RegEx to allow things that ordinarily should be blocked. But it is still a breeze to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Setting up a global companies perimeter security and vpn service along with wifi to enable all staff to roam freely between our locations and have the same level of access and protection. We have confidence in their safety while at work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We used to use Watchguard years ago, then moved to SonicWall, then they got bought up, so we searched for a suitable replacement. Only WatchGuard ticked all our requirement boxes for an innovative yet straightforward security system that would perform at full wire-speed on our high-speed fibre connections linking our offices around the globe.

Watchguard Review

  • November 18, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Watchguard has an excellent set of customer service reps. They helped me through a lot of issues and were available at various times of the day. They did a great job of explaining things to me as we went along.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is that it can be a little complicated to navigate issues on my own. I am not a true IT expert, so it is not very basic user-friendly. It is also difficult to unblock individual items for the filtering software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was able to solve user authentication issues, web filtering issues, set up access for IP cameras, and a variety of other basic security needs. They helped me troubleshoot when our system is not functioning and got us back up and running.

    Architecture & Planning

We've used this product successfully for years

  • November 12, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We've discovered features that we didn't know we initially had (VPN access) that allowed us to successfully switch to a remote office on the fly with no downtime or extra calls during the pandemic!
What do you dislike about the product?
The website to operate is a little bulky and a little confusing at first for a novice, but once you spend a little time learning how to function in it (with the help of a customer service agent), it's a lot easier to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We utilize the antivirus, intrustion protection, and spam blocker services.

We have VPN access! We've kept all of our staff up and running throughout the course of the pandemic, with no down time.
