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.

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

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Watchguard provides quality firewalls that are easy to manage and has a variety of hardware to suit every price point.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Watchguard Management suite has numerous revisions that are still out in the wild and each revision can only interface with a limited number of devices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Traffic management and shaping, port control, VPN implementation
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep at least the three most recent revisions of the management tool around

Robust, Fully Featured and Easy to Manage

  • April 05, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

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.
