Cons
"It doesn't offer the best protection and it's incompatible with a lot of China's websites. It makes a lot of mistakes when it is detecting items as it's not recognizing items correctly.""The solution isn't what I would consider feature-rich.""WatchGuard technical support requires a license."

More WatchGuard Gateway AntiVirus Cons →

"Perhaps the primary area for potential enhancement is to make it faster, ensuring a more seamless experience while maintaining robust security features.""Currently, the client is only available for the Windows Operating System but it would be good if it were released for Mac OS as well.""They need to update and improve the features available for Mac.""They should release a single update with all the necessary characteristics to avoid being in a cycle of consecutive updates.""We'd like better performance of the network equipment. There are high-speed environments where an immediate response is required.""I would like it to be integrated with the Check Point centralization solution like Infinity Portal. It would be great to be able to manage it through the same website.""The support is not always so effective.""ZoneAlarm should be a light application that does not take too much memory in mobile phones."
