I've used it for network control, and it's been quite helpful.

I used to use it for different customers; however, now I use it for one site. We primarily use the solution for application control. It's to block applications we don't want users to use.

The main use case is to avoid zero-trust attacks because, from Application Control, I can only run known applications. Every unknown application is placed on hold or blocked.

We were primarily using WatchGuard to control applications that were trying to access offsite network locations. I am no longer using this solution because it was in my previous job.

We use it internally and we are an MSP for lots of other companies that use it as well. Our primary use case is to block applications.

Our primary use case for this solution is traffic management. When the system recognizes that we are using something like VoIP, Skype, or Cisco Video Conference, then one can adjust the bandwidth. For example, we have it set so that VoIP has a limit of 120Kbps (Kilobits per second).
