I like the management software, the way you can create on-the-fly security objects when creating rules or when you are looking for data in the realtime log window Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When you are reviewing quarantined emails, the quarantine client sometimes loose connection with the server and you have to refresh. I don't like to use only one option to search for data in the realtime log, there has to be a way like when one is using watchguard dimension, you can use more than one filter. Also, reports on watchguard dimension somehow don't display the same data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As using Firebox it helps in making the enviroment free of threats and if there is a zero-day is discovered Firebox helps in making everything safe and secured.
The best is that i can monitor, analyze, and respond to threats from anywhere, anytime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
High cost but actually it deserve that ...
Some applications needs special permissions and special rules which are not easy to be done for new users.
Performance is good for [Medium~High] traffic rate but not [High ~ Very high] Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Watchguard offers a solution for every aspect of security we need. The documentation is always thorough and easy to understand. In my experience, Watchguard's user interfaces are easy to use and make sense but still offer all the features I would expect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Even though their support is great, they don't always answer my less critical support tickets during my business hours. Sometimes they reply overnight so it takes extra time to resolve. This usually isn't an issue with critical, high-priority issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the all-encompassing software that allows for network security and patch management. I like the simplicity of using the product and firewall and subscription services that are available are incredibly useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One of the things I dislike is that the patch management sometimes fails and does not provide you with a reason other than a link to Microsoft. Also, the website filtering on the product does not allow you to see the websites that are being blocked, only the category. I want some more granularity in that regard.

Straight out of the box, this firewall setup is straightforward. Of course, you can customize practically anything you want as well. I've set up competitors' firewalls that seemed overly complex; this was relatively easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unfortunately, Tech Support is lacking. When you need support, regardless of whether it's considered mission-critical, it may take days to respond. Watchguard needs to improve in this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Easy and simple to configure and deploy.
- Multiple access interface (browser & WG System Manager)
-Uses very low internet resources for WAN VPN
- Watchguard support is timely and convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Intergration with AD requires enhancement and SSO at times doesnt function as expected.
- Dimension reporting is not detailed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use, quality of service and products, quick response in case of incident. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Perhaps to have a little more control over users who sign up for the partner portal. In this case, I wish I could delete them if necessary, and not have to open a ticket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has almost nothing to discord with bugs and problems. When implemented correctly, the firewall never shuts down, and it is easy to detect issues when occurred.
The VPN is very consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When you need qualified support, the Latam Region is complex; Firebox is located in a specific quadrant. It isn't nice when you compete with other marks like Fortinet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of installation, proper documentation, and the short time it takes to get everything ready. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Difficulty in understanding the model types e.g. in my first order, I mistakenly bought WatchGuard Firebox T15 Trade up not knowing that it's for those that already have WatchGuard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SImple to manage, complete services and interfaces. many different appliance available for every king ow workload.
Rapid response time to technical support request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
