Watchguard offers the best balance of security, performance and competitive pricing in the industry.
What do you like best about the product?
The web interface is the easiest to train new firewall techs on. We also like the fact that the box is bright red so customers can find it if it needs to be restarted.
What do you dislike about the product?
When the UTM expires, the firewall becomes unusable until it is renewed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The UTM services work fast and cost very little bandwidth.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watchguard is a clear choice when comparing to Cisco, Fortinet and others. You get a whole lot more security and performance for the money.

Powerful security solution
What do you like best about the product?
Watchguard is a powerful security solution, encompassing many aspects to keep your network safe. It has granular level control and although it can take a while to initially set up to its full capabilities, once complete it needs little maintenance.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to have better logs for troubleshooting. Can be very hard to find why a website isn't loading correctly for a user; it would be nice if it could list all the reasons (scripts blocked, content or website filtered due to these rules etc.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping network safe and secure with minimal IT department input beyond initial setup. Allowing users to access only work-related sites and reducing the chance of phishing attacks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you allocate plenty of time for initial setup

What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of something I don't like from WatchGuard. I'm pleased with the solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are securing all of our VLANs. Internet surfing with DNS security. UTM. Antimalware. Integrated with AD. Services publishing. SSL VPN for providers and employees. SDWAN. Multifactor Authentication, etc.
The benefit is that with much less investment than other brands, we are applying a high level of security to our network, supporting all of our traffic, internal and external.
