Extremely User-Friendly frontend. Outstanding performance and exceptional support. Always one step ahead. The complete portfolio offered is a solution itself, with no hidden costs.

There is not much to dislike sometimes if any new feature is needed. Submitting the request will get the whole engineering team to include that in the latest version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During Pandemic times, we were unable to access the working environment. Everyone needed to work from home, accessing Apps and Data. It was a blessing to have a Watchguard firewall, and deployment was 100% remote. Very easy to not IT users to get started and secure.

Something I really like about the watchguard is the ease of management and settings, a centralized and intuitive console, makes managing a firewall easier by I.T team of company, and it's is the great differential.

Something that makes the product a little complicated is that it has a slightly high cost compared to other competitors, even though it has much more developed features.

Using the watchguard, I was able to solve problems such as controlling users' web access, specifically releasing access, and restricting it against so many threats that we have on the web today.

Easy, Simple and Secure

  • January 21, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
In all the Network Security products I've tested and used, this is the only product (so far) that you can easily setup and configure without deplying yet in production environment. It also gives good performance and faster throughput even all security engines are turned on. Best of all, in comes with reporting and visibility using dimension without incurring any cost.
What do you dislike about the product?
Subscription renewal is a bit expensive compared to other products. There's no highly skilled support engineer (as far as I know) in my local area that could easily address our concerns.

Replacing/returning of product within its warranty period would take some time. Watchguard should look into this aspect and address to improve its process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives us peace of mind and not so much to worry about with all the threats out there. Watchguard gives us the network security protections we need and solidifying it with endpoint protection.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watchguard offers you Simplicity, Performance and Visibility.
The product doesn't give you major headaches.
