What differentiates WatchGuard Network Security from other similar products?
I believe the ease of using the Policy manager makes it easier to implement your security requirements.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
There is a Firebox System Manager that is easy to use. and gives you a summary of what you will need. specially the traffic monitor. to see an overview on what is going on within your network.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The Price. The best protection is a very steep climb compared to their Basic Security suite. It could have been better if they could include some of the Important features down to the basic security suite or a mid tier pricing for some features as the best tier is really expensive.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The product is good with a proper technical support team and articles for you to review. but the price for their premium is quite expensive specially for small businesses. not mentioning you have you renew your subcriptions yearly or every number of years you subscribed to those security suites.
