Simple to set up, simple to manage
What do you like best about the product?
Every Watchguard product I've used has been simple to use. The ease of setup is above and beyond most others. You don't need to be Cisco Certified to understand everything in the web GUI. Everything is clear and concise, with direct links to up-to-date online help should you need it. Deployment of changes is easy using Watchguard's Management Console, which, if you're so inclined, will also run on Linux using the latest WINE libraries.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few error messages that make no sense. Not sure why Watchguard made these specific error messages so cryptic but a quick call to support usually reveals where I went wrong.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the ten years I've been working with Watchguard devices throughout our enterprise, none of my networks have been breached. How's that for both a solution and benefit?

What do you like best about the product?
Cloud versions on a single pane. Support is world-class
What do you dislike about the product?
More testing and configuration are needed but currently, no dislikes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We chose Watchguard to move towards having a single vendor for AV, DNS protection, and 2FA. Benefits have been lower TCO and managability.
Great Business Product!
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the fact that initial setup takes all of 10-15 minutes - and renewals couldn't be easier. If you choose to move to new hardware at renewal time, you can also dump your current config and re-upload it to your new hardware. Saving you hours of time in configuration
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the cost of re-licensing every three years. It's close enough to purchasing a new device that we generally always buy new hardware when a license is about to expire
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Watchguard Firewalls are doing multiple things for us - network security, DHCP leases, web blocking functionality, allowing remote workers via SSL VPN, branch office tunnels for communication between buildings.

WatchGuard: superb network security
What do you like best about the product?
We've used WatchGuard products for 14 years in our organisation. Including multiple rack-mount and desktop Firebox devices and WiFi APs. The best thing about them is reliability. You can trust them to do the job and keep your network secure.
What do you dislike about the product?
I struggle to think of a meaningful negative. Perhaps the WSM client app could do with a UI refresh ... but that's not a serious negative.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All our main and branch office sites use WatchGuard Fireboxes and we use BOVPN to connect all our sites. They provide reliable network security with very little admin overhead which has been a huge benefit to us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Buy with confidence - easy to configure and maintain these devices provide maxium security with minimal admin overhead.
Best firewall I've used
What do you like best about the product?

I have not had any issues with Watchguard themselves; any issues were with my re-seller.
