You can set up different networks on them, but I wouldn't say there are more advances over other solutions
Pros and Cons
  • "They're very easy to set up and get running."
  • "I don't think they're available at the best price."

What is our primary use case?

Let's say you're running a hotel and you want Wi-Fi separated for guests and for your administration– you can manage this stuff with WatchGuard.

What is most valuable?

It is very easy to set up and get running. You can administer it from the cloud. I wouldn't say there are more advances over other solutions. But, you can set up different networks on them and it is pretty much something we need. You can put encryption on it too.

What needs improvement?

Except for choosing a different Wi-Fi solution or access point solution, I don't feel it has many benefits over something like Ubiquiti. I mean, simplicity is a double-edged sword there. Where are your firewalls, access points, and secure Wi-Fi? I think they're ugly. I really can't tell one disadvantage. I would say unless this is changed, you have to purchase this through a WatchGuard partner. I don't know if you could even support it yourself. You would want a service provider to support it for you.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used the solution on and off since the year 2019.

Find out what your peers are saying about WatchGuard, Ubiquiti Networks, Ruckus and others in Wireless LAN. Updated: May 2023.
708,243 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There was no issue with the stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is fairly scalable. However, you have a limitation there. I guess, if you're trying to add more power to one location, you're going to need a more powerful access point. So you might think about buying a larger one, and that's just the harsh truth about buying hardware.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I don't think they're available at the best price. I would rate them five out of ten for pricing.

What other advice do I have?

It is a good solution. I find WatchGuard to be over priced. I would rate it as six out of ten.
