Excellent Products

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, manageability, feature set, and overall product quality
What do you dislike about the product?
Support, while good, is less than attentive. WG seems to have addressed these issues in recent with the ability to purchase higher tier support. Kudos
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster deployment/configuration of products allows us to focus on things outside of the infrastructure.

Easy to use VPN application

  • November 08, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Watch Guard provides a simple and easy to use interface to connect to a VPN. Watch Guard can save your VPN information for easy feature access. The automatic updating process is also very helpful. Each time there is a new version Watch Guard will prompt the user to download and install the latest version
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes that VPN connection seems to be interrupted and the session drops. It's pretty easy to reconnect though
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to remote into our customers servers all around the country. Watch Guard helps us connect to them with minimal effort

Well-featured NGFW - excellent value, easy to use management tools

  • August 25, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Host of features - can replace end-to-end VPN devices, routers, IPS/IDS devices, email gateways and web proxies.

Pricing is excellent especially if trading in towards a multi-year bundle.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the logging options can be a bit tedious to figure out.

Single year renewals can be pricey.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to consolidate quite a bit of hardware into one device,and standardize on branch offices with similar policies with centralized monitoring.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely look into the Dimension reporting tool. Well worth it.

Inquire into the competitive upgrade pricing, as well as multi-year subscription pricing.

  • June 09, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to configure/install & manage. It's a great appliance to protect your networks.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can use the Watchguard System Manage or the web browser to configure the boxes. When you make a change with the web browser it takes affect immediately. With the WSM you can make a bunch of changes and save them at once.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have benefited from using Watchguard products because we can connect our main office to all of our clients and access there networks easily.

Very Helpful Program

  • May 31, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really like that it is a secure portal that has many options and will allow for working remotely. It allows me to access my desktop and several other work functions remotely instead of needing to be in the office. It is a secure connection that works with the security systems set up internally which safeguards the information.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only drawback that I would indicate is that it seems to only work well on internet explorer. I would like to see the interface be compatible with Google Chrome and or Firefox.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is not necessarily a problem, however it does provide a solution for working from home. It helps for those who need to be out of the office for family reasons or traveling purposes. The benefits of allowing remote work is that more can be accomplished even if someone is not able to make it into the office.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think this is a great product with multi-level security that would be an asset to any company with remote workers.

WatchGuard Review

  • May 31, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One of the best firewall's I've used to monitor Web Traffic. Easy to use interface and a lot of different policies. Web Policies are easy to implement
What do you dislike about the product?
Set up isn't that easy. All networks are set up differently. If you have a site to site VPN and you place WatchGuard in between you can get a lot of errors and actually degrade your bandwidth.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to prevent users from accessing certain sites especially social media. Also protect users from not being exposed to RANSOMWARE. This was one of the best tools for us to prevent from being exposed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For monitoring and protecting users browsing the web on your network this hardware along with the software to manage it is in top 3 for firewalling your traffic
