What differentiates WatchGuard Gateway AntiVirus from other similar products?

There are many tools that would claim themselves effective against viruses but the feature set Watchguard is providing is unmatchable. The way it protects our systems against Malware and it works at a high speed as well. Its scanning engine is efficient and better than any other tool in the market. It helps in blocking spam and filtering out the content as well. and any webpage with malicious content is easily detectable and immediately blocks it. so all these features make it stand out among other such products.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The way it blocks malicious web pages and helps in spam blocking are two major features that I like most about it. Moreover, it is quite powerful against Malware, viruses, and worms and hence we feel protected as our precious data is safe with it.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The cost is not something is like about it and its licensing cost is also high. This tool is quite complex to use.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would definitely recommend this tool to all those who want to have a secure and virus-free environment in their company. It will never let any virus and malware enter your system to get access to a company's important data files. Although its price is a bit high and it is a worthy tool with so many features. and one would not regret buying this tool.
