What do you like best about the product?
Security benefits of this product!

I love the features it brings for securing the system as well as the policy manager which is easy to use. If you have not looked at how they use APT i recommend it!

There are also other features which they are continuing to bring out, such as there most recent mobile authentication for users technology which is another great product.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, I highly enjoy working with WG I honestly believe they are the best firewall on the market.

All the security benefits the product brings are amazing for businesses. I have installed these in many different businesses, and can safely say I love the product. It give such great security benefits with APT which again I am really impressed with.

Nice but slow

  • April 25, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that I can access my Electronic Medical Record (EMR) from home. It makes life easier and happier. I can access my software/EHR from any place from any device. The only problem is accessing this product from outside can be a headache as it is very slow to connect. It lets you do your work at your convenience as well. It also takes you back to the place where you left off in case it freezes or is disconnected. It automatically saves the work as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be very slow and annoying at times. It takes several minutes before you can finally access it. If there is a problem with connection and you are disconnected, it takes several minutes before you can re-access it. I would love it to be more user friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
more people can access EMR from home. More productivity is always welcome. It also frees up desktops at work. You can take your laptop at work and work as you move different places and at different times of the day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a very good product. It helps you be more productive. It lets you access your product from different places and devices. Makes life much easier. It can be easily authorized to multiple users and they would appreciate it all the times. There are not much update needed. It does take up a lot of space and may make the pc slow.

Over four years managing WatchGuard products

What do you like best about the product?
The feature set is very robust and versatile. There are multiple options for software and addon upgrades to achieve the level of security your business is looking for.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was a difficult transition to WatchGuard when my only prior experience had been using Cisco devices. I do think placement of certain components and features could be better designed and implemented. I also don't find the traffic management very easy to read and understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use WatchGuard Fireboxes at 4 offices. It creates an easy setup for VPN and has allowed for granular control of of the firewall policies at each office.

Robust protection, easy to deploy

  • November 16, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The WatchGuard System Manager provides an easy to use interface that makes it a breeze to understand the configuration of the device.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unable to connect with the Watchguard System Manager with the admin/config credential, you have to use the status/readonly account to initially connect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Watchguard allows us to secure the networks of our clients while permitting for easy and safe communication. The SSL VPN client makes it simple to allow remote users to connect to network resources without opening them up to attack
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Since learning to work with watchguard products I dread working with any other firewalls, Sonicwall, CIsco ASA and Fortigaurd/Fortigate have complicated interfaces that make you dig through multiple tabs to configure simple rules, the Watchguard System Manager is almost too easy to use.

Complete Security Solution in one box

  • October 20, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I came from a background of Fortinet, Cisco and other firewalls so watchguard was something that i had to take time to learn and review its features. I have to say that i'm very impressed by the number of features it has, and the ease at which you can enable things. We now have the total security suite running at all our sites, as well as TDR additions and havnet looked back.
What do you dislike about the product?
The devices we have come with a single PSU and no option to upgrade, seems you have to splash out a fair whack more to get that addition.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is our perimieter defenence, web filtering, AV scanning, DLP, malware, APT and ransomeware protection (basically everything)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Enable all the features and dont be afraid to talk to their tech support when setting it up to ensure you get the firewall rules "just right"

Make backups of your config, not the image of the entire OS... That burned us one or 2 times.

  • 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.
