Protects from attack software and hacking but it doesn't provide the reports in a readable format

Pros

"WatchGuard XTM is fairly basic. We use it as the perimeter firewall. The main point is to protect from attack software and hacking. "

Cons

"One huge issue with WatchGuard XTM is that I'm not getting reports in a readable format. Readable means, I don't want Excel online. We repeat auditing when we trigger the report or setup calendar. That functionality is what we are looking for from WatchGuard XTM here."

Helps us limit bandwidth but needs to improve setting policies

Pros

"I like the hostwatch because I can see what traffic uses the most bandwidth and I can block that site."

Cons

"The setting policies need improvement. It needs an easier way to do static NAT and check on what policy is being used for that specific traffic. "

The best features are the anti-virus solutions and the multiple scanning features.

Pros

"We have used technical support for WatchGuard many times and overall, we are satisfied with it. They are always listening and there is a good reaction time to our findings. When there are issues, they really try to resolve them."

Cons

"Sometimes we have had issues with stability of the product."

Application Control gives us granular regulation for different types of users and how they access websites

Pros

"Application Control is fantastic with over 2,500 applications and the granularity that we can either allow people to view but not be able to log on to Facebook; or view it and log onto it if they're in the marketing department, but not play Facebook games. There are all sorts of different options like that. So it's highly granular."

Cons

"WatchGuard doesn't have a product that allows them to get into the data center. And that's just because there is no hardware to do the job. The software could do it, but there's no hardware that allows that to happen at the moment. So it doesn't scale as well as some other products, that's for sure."

It is stable and does not require you to reboot all the time

Pros

"It is stable and does not require you to reboot all the time.​"

Cons

"The initial setup is neither simple nor complex. If you know the base in networking and how the firewall works, you will be able to figure it out.​"

It costs less than the competition without increasing much of the CPU usage

Pros

"There is a site-to-site VPN configuration between others people."

Cons

"Syslog (Dimension) is focused on presentation, but needs more focus on utility like SonicWall syslog (GMS/Analyzer)."
