Robust, Fully Featured and Easy to Manage

What do you like best about the product?
One of the keys to good security is visibility. Watchguard provides a wealth of well designed tools that give you a clear picture into your first line of defense.

The Firewall itself has a range of security options and security layers that can be implemented and adjusted according to your environment.

The policies are easy to set up and manage, and Watchguard's online documentation is outstanding.

For the most part the support is well trained and helpful, I haven't had any major support problems in the 6 years I've been a customer
What do you dislike about the product?
If you submit a support case online, sometimes it can take 24-48 hrs before it gets picked up. I've had good sucess submitting a case online, then calling a few hours later if it hasn't been assigned to a tech.

The licensing process is a bit of a chore, but it's not a huge problem since it's only done annually at most.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our perimeter is secure, and I feel like I have a good picture into my network traffic.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are a number of other players out there that offer comparable products. The key is what tools does that vendor offer that allows me to gain a clear understanding of what my perimeter defenses are doing. I feel that Watchguard offers a wealth of excellent tools that are well documented and supported.

What do you like best about the product?
They are very robust in feature set. Web Blocker uses Websense, the IPS is great and APT is a bonus add. There tech support is some of the best I have worked with, quick response and incredibly helpful. There Dimension log manager is a great way to easily and quickly visualize what is going on with your network. The firewall is different then a Cisco ASA in that it does proxy connections for certain protocols, which means higher level of packet inspection
What do you dislike about the product?
The management is clunky sometimes and dis-jointed. If you have 2 or more admins care must be taken so that you are both not editing the firewall at the same time. Nothing else really bad to says about them, overall good experience
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Firewall security for our networks. We have gotten good visibility into network. Have seen a ton of attacks stopped at the firewall
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great solid product, I believe it to be one of the best on the market in terms of what you pay for and what you get.
