What do you dislike about the product?
1. all the features meet the standards we need, apart from that, it's just a matter of how we configure the watchguard so that the watchguard can run optimally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. we can determine that every client can access any website, by default watchguard has protected the connection by giving suggestions on what websites are included in the illegal category,
2. In addition, watchguard also protects from viruses, trojans and attacks from outside the network that we have,
3. if we are going to do port forwarding from an external connection or a connection from our internal, on watchguard the configuration is very easy with detailed explanations, for this we don't need a lot of settings and it doesn't take a long time

Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of creating VPN's and opening ports
What do you dislike about the product?
Cyber attacks , the Watchguard will auto block IP addresses that look like an attack, but if you get a lot of ip 's that look like that they will get by because the monitor is full.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Can see when getting attacked
The best firewall appliance out there

I don't really have any dislikes, only one I can think off is webblocker defaulting to deny when the subscription expires

Brilliant VPN and BOVPN options on the units, they have really assisted us with setting up client sites over the years.
WatchGuard Network Security
What do you like best about the product?
I like the quality of the equipment. Being able to access the configuration tools by either a web interface for the simple changes, or a program where a configuration can be uploaded, for the more intensive edits or initial configuration.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the web-based interface, save buttons are typically at the end of the page. I wish there was one at the top of the page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an MSP, we utilize WatchGuard Firewalls for our perimeter network security. Since the pandemic, most customers who have made their workforce remote, already had a VPN solution in place. It just needed configuring. The traffic logs from WatchGuard cloud have been beneficial in showing users that are spending a large amount of time on non-related websites. With that information, WebBlocker categories to then prevent those types of websites from being viewed, making the time at work productive time.
Solid solution that keep in step with the times
What do you like best about the product?
I like the shift that WatchGuard has done over the years, focusing on the web UI. The web UI, in my opinion, is straightforward to work with and easier to adapt and manage. Over the years its has become easiy to make the adjustments to the firewall. Thus making the ability to tighten and secure the network. Managing the VPN and conictivity and troubleshoot issue as they arrise seem to have been easier as than it used to using the application.
What do you dislike about the product?
The technical support dance you have to do to get the help in the matter that I believe is the proper approach to your paying customers.
I believe all firewall companies have this same shortcoming. Over the years, I have figured out how to adapt to this to get the result I need. When I get a tech on the phone, they are all easy to work with and always accommodating.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using their product, I have been able to manage geo-locational access to my network. Blocking unwanted traffic and controlling the flow of traffic in both directions. Also have used to implement VLANs and subnets all while keeping the ability to properly keep all proper onectivity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watchguard is a solid choice when looking for a provider. I have worked with several companies in this space, and I find Watchguard easy to work with, interface with, and implement. I would recommend evaluating this company when looking for a solution in your security.
Great firewall and UTM solution for mid-market companies
What do you like best about the product?
WatchGuard offers multiple GUI based interfaces that make set-up, configuration, maintenance and monitoring much more accessible for an IT resource who is not solely focused on the network. We support about 250 users with a 5 person IT department so we need tools that are highly functional but easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the video documentation on YouTube is out of date. I rely on that resource to guide me through new activities as opposed to creating a case and waiting for a call back.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WatchGuard's Total Security Suite offers multiple layers of protection via a single vendor.
Consistently Leading Firewall Vendor - Watchguard
What do you like best about the product?
Logical setup, making it easy to setup.
But with a depth of features and security that makes it a leader.
Flexability allowing it to do any task needed.
And the Branch Office VPN I have been able to connect to firewall and vpn devices of many other vendors due to it's flexibility.
Reliable and easy to troubleshoot, but also has 24/7 support from watchguard helpdesk, meaning they are always there to help, even at 2am in the morning.
The support team will do this via email or on the phone, according to what you request.
The firewall has some of the most flexible proxy filters as well as packet filters.
So if you want HTTP inspection of port 8192 for a custom interface, it can do that for you. or any other proxy, or deep layer inspection.
It is the product I recommend to clients and other colleagues without hesitation.
I have been working with leading firewalls for 25 years, and have seen the watchguard evolve from it's early days, through to today.

What do you dislike about the product?
For the small desktop appliances, you have to choose between 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz. as it will only do one, with the built in WiFi. But Watchguards WiFI Appliances are a better option.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a firewall that I have been able to adapt to many different network requirements, for clients from vastly different business types and needs. The watchguard has been able to adapt to their needs and has not failed to meet expectations yet.
It has meant that as a network consultant, working in many different environments, that it has always been a good solution to all networks
