WatchGuard Unified Security Platform

I have yet to put all of my eggs into the WatchGuard cloud basket as of yet but may go this route in the future. As of right now I am managing the devices via the system manager and VPN tunnels. I will spin up a management server and dimension server in the near future to further manage the …

WatchGuard Cloud

We currently only use the cloud to monitor not manage the devices. We may go this route in the future but have yet to go this route. The functionality is getting better but still hesitant to fully move to it. We do not use any other devices than the firewalls.

WatchGuard Partner

We work with Axido and they are amazingly perfect, and professional from the beginning to the end, even after the end. :-) It's a trusting relationship where we never get disappointed, they always do their best to satisfy our demands and in the end, how they work with us gives Watchguard a very …

WatchGuard Unified Security Platform

If the solution is on-premise go for it, if it's cloud-based, not with me. It greatly depends on what type of device, where they were implemented, on what perimeter, country, etc. For heavily sensible machines, I use WSM (dedicated management interface) on-premise, it's perfect to manage all my …

WatchGuard Cloud

I use it only for what is used by us as a "roaming device". For example, NV5 which goes from site to site for a short period of time is easy to manage through Watchguard Cloud with rapid deployment. You prepare the configuration suited for the site and voilà, as soon as the box is connected it …

WatchGuard Unified Security Platform

I can collect logs from many devices, e.g. Firewall, WIFI, as well as protection of workstations, I don't need to log into different systems just have everything in one place so I am quickly able to control threats if they appear, Quick automation options make less work for the administrator

WatchGuard Cloud

As an integrator, we use all, That is, MFA AuthPoint, EDR CORE Endpoint Protection - EPDR Adavance. AP WIFI 330 with Airspace Monitoring, as well as Firewall devices.

WatchGuard Partner

We did not work with a partner for purchase or implementation as our IT team has extensive experience in configuring and managing network equipment.

WatchGuard Unified Security Platform

We have not yet implemented the unified security platform but plan to in the future. We believe it will make management and monitoring of our network security easier for our team.

WatchGuard Cloud

We have not yet implemented WatchGuard's cloud products but we plan to in the future.

WatchGuard Partner

I am an employee, but my boss does deal with a partner, I am unsure of the details for it.

It would be excellent as long as this platform can also be Managed locally and not in the cloud

WatchGuard Cloud

In our case they didn't work very well; Some APs have to be reviewed in the cloud and others locally. Second problem, the cost of licenses is very high, having to pay to manage in the cloud and does not bring any benefit to the company.

WatchGuard Network Security Packaging and Licensing

I must say that licensing prices should be improved a bit to make them more attractive to more customers. Regarding packet filtering, I must say that WatchGuard performs very well in that function. In the policies that I have created, I have not had a problem, it has worked very well for me.

WatchGuard Unified Security Platform

I have not used the WatchGuard cloud much yet. I expect that it would give me the ability to do various programming and policy building and management, alerting as to when things are going wrong and extended logging that the watchguard won't do itself without building a log server for it.

WatchGuard Cloud

I haven't used too many of the cloud products. I have spent some time using dns watch which works really well as a DNS filter that works in conjunction with the WatchGuard. Otherwise, I haven't used any of their products and I am really not sure what it is they consider to be a cloud product.

WatchGuard Partner

The Managed Service Provider of my organization is a WatchGuard Network Security partner, so we did not need the services of an outside organization.

WatchGuard Unified Security Platform

We have not yet utilized this feature. We have been reluctant to use the unified cloud platform, since as a part of our SOP we have on-site devices to automate setup and monitoring. I believe that in the future we may find that this will help us to be more nimble.

WatchGuard Cloud

The only cloud product we currently use is the DNSwatch platform. This has allowed us to ensure that our user base is fully protected even when they are not on a WatchGuard Network Security protected site. We use the DNSwatch Go softare for those particular users.

WatchGuard Unified Security Platform

the WatchGuard cloud isnt as easy as the on-prem firebox managment. However, the ability to manage multiple tenants and services from one place make our job a lot easier.

WatchGuard Cloud

WatchGuard's cloud solutions are all in one place which saves us a lot of time.

WatchGuard Partner

I am very happy with the partner, and they did a great job setting up the device, they were there after the fact to assist in initial troubleshooting and training.

WatchGuard Unified Security Platform

I can see all, devices from 1 console, I can also push out Firmware updates after hours with zero down time for the users and zero after hours for me.

WatchGuard Partner

WatchGuard Unified Security Platform

It is really nice to have a single dashboard to be able to manage all the different devices I have spread out among all the different offices I manage as well as the NFR devices I use for my home office.

WatchGuard Cloud

The cloud based management console works really well and is pretty fast. It isn’t that intuitive though so it takes some practice to learn.

WatchGuard Unified Security Platform

We are managing several fire boxes and the cloud console makes it a lot easier to navigate between devices and see a global picture.

WatchGuard Cloud

We were able to pull less suited and antiquated equipment and replace it with WatchGuard pretty seamlessly and it gives us better insight into the networks that we manage.

FAQs

What is WatchGuard Network Security?

The WatchGuard Firebox family of firewalls offers critical network security solutions for businesses of all types and sizes, including tabletop and 1U rack-mounted appliances to Cloud and virtual firewalls. Firebox appliances deliver critical security services from standard IPS, URL filtering, gateway AV, application control, and antispam, to advanced protections such as file sandboxing, and DNS filtering. High-performance deep packet inspection (DPI) means users can leverage these security services against attacks attempting to hide in encrypted channels like HTTPS. Additionally, every Firebox offers SD-WAN right out of the box for improved network resiliency and performance.

The most important for us is the uninterruptible access provided by clusters as we have roaming users all over the world that heavily depend on data access for business.
The price is very right-sized, for example, having an active/passive cluster needs only one total security license to cover the cluster, not 2 such as other well-known companies.
Old devices, no longer supported, could be used for "light security" such as internal routers with great firewalling, NAT, and so on.
Once you have one, there's no learning curve if you change models, physical or virtual, all use the same interface and work the same.
A negative point is that I don't know how the support handles issues, as I have had none in 15 years.
