Watchguard - Great security tool

  • February 15, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.

A firewall and intuitive software and the most versatile hardware.

  • December 15, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The versatility of the Product is one of its best features... The configuration of the rules is very intuitive to perform, apart from all the options for the control and supervision of the lines and connected equipment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Actually, it's about the product I have because even though you can have several lines connected and perform load balancing, the connection to the internal network is at 1gb, and that limits the total bandwidth.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well, as already mentioned above, there is no solution unless you choose much more powerful hardware... But the benefits in general are the versatility it gives me in connecting multiple lines to implement and have various rules.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Well, as already mentioned... The versatility and ease of implementation of the product!
