WatchGuard Firebox simplifies my job through the policies we can define. When we create a policy, it simplifies our workflow, which helps with our overall efficiency.

Using faster ports on WatchGuard Firebox helps avoid congestion, especially during busy periods. For example, high-bandwidth applications and VPN traffic run more smoothly, which helps maintain user productivity.

In terms of scalability, I would rate it a seven. Other solutions share the same problem, but six years ago, we had only 300 persons in the company, and WatchGuard Firebox was very good. Due to COVID and other factors, our license for mobile SSL VPN cannot simply be upgraded; we can only upgrade the number of simultaneous users.

For us as an MSP, we experience a reduction in system bottlenecks after implementing WatchGuard Firebox, which translates into a more billable engineer who can do more work in the same time period.

WatchGuard Firebox provides benefits in terms of security, time saving, resource saving, and cost savings.

There was less operational overhead for the team.

It integrates with WatchGuard Cloud Manager, which simplifies the configuration and monitoring system, making it very useful for me as a NOC engineer handling our client side.

I have noticed a significant reduction in bottlenecks in the systems after implementing WatchGuard Firebox, resulting in quite good performance improvements.

Through this, we were able to catch all the logs, analyze them, and create relatable SIEM logs and rules to catch those alerts. We later integrated more logs from WatchGuard Firebox into the SIEM solution, Rapid7, which helped a lot in managing network logs.

WatchGuard Firebox has made a positive impact for my organization by improving security, saving time, and making my work as IT manager easier. The security improvements are good for the organization and how the company can work daily.

I noticed specific outcomes such as reduced bandwidth use, improved productivity because employees did not spend time on websites such as Facebook or YouTube, and we saved money because we did not need to use another feature or an external proxy to apply this web block.
