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.

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

WatchGuard Network Security Review
What do you like best about the product?
It gives us complete control of all traffic going in and out of our network.
What do you dislike about the product?
The App control is somewhat difficult to deploy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can optimize internet bandwidth by only allowing work-related traffic in and out of our network.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a good product that provides good network security.
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.
The Firewall of Choice!

WatchGuard's Management Interface is unbeatable - It's simple to use and highly comprehensive.

Using WatchGuard technologies, we have complete control over our client's network and have all the necessary protection we need to keep them safe from the bad guys.
Excellent package for network security

On occasion we have had issues with things getting blocked (false positives) which have needed an exception added.

It is one layer in our protection against malware, viruses, phishing attempts.
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
Good firewall, good service, nothing to envy to more expensive solutions.

Features, stability, customer support, and all of this for the best cost possible with outstanding throughput cost relation compared with its competitors.
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.
