Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

We use WatchGuard for firewalls, DHCP, DNS and other networking abilities it offers. For our larger clients its proven to be a truly robust firewall. for out smaller clients, the T series is a beneficial part of their networking ecosystem for DHCP and DNS services, as well ad still being a solid firewall.

Pros

  • Firewall
  • Network Switching and routing
  • dhcp and dns
  • traffic routing

Cons

  • training
  • documentation
  • local user database management
  • ad authentication
  • vpn is a great resource
  • duo integration for vpn is not simple
  • policy based routing is fast for 1000+ policies
we dont use a partner
WatchGuard management console work well for monitoring and managing multiple devices across many different types of networks
WatchGuard is cheaper, however, the management is a little easier to manage
