WatchGuard Network Security

We've partnered with WatchGuard for many years. Our focus has been on the Firebox edge security appliances primarily, but we've also used the MFA and subscription services. WatchGuard Network Security has provided an excellent product for protecting network infrastructure and client resources. It's very cost competitive with other vendors and the support is great. Even as more workloads move to cloud services, we still find interface and payment systems in the local environments that need protecting.

• Watchguard has been a great partner to work with. They provide exceptional value compared to other vendors as the pricing is more reasonable allowing for better margins.
• Watchguard support has always been timely and thorough. As a partner, we have direct access to both technical and customer support. When something is critical, they've always provided immediate action including advanced RMA services.
• We also have access to product trials to demonstrate use cases to clients and significant discounts on NFR SKUs for our own use. This allows us to be very familiar with these products and increases our deployment capability.

We are a small non-profit hospital with a main campus and 8 remote group homes. We need to have all group homes have 100% access to resources at our main campus. The group homes have small offices with approximately 10 endpoints. Since the group homes are typical single family residences in suburban neighborhoods, we need a secured WIFI connection. We replaced small consumer based routers with T20-W wireless firewalls. With the secured WIFI coupled with out of the box BOVPN, it is the perfect appliance for the small offices.

• Very Cost effective compared to other Firewall providers
• Rapid Response to issues. Primarily resolved same day.
• Rapid deployment with included WatchGuard tools.
