al momento nessuno, non posso dare esisti negativi la mia esperienza è molto positiva e devo affermare che mi sento sicuro nel consigliare questi prodotti.

Ottimo firewall e VPN

Commenti: Mi permette di lavorare in remoto su macchine dei miei clienti in sicurezza.

Aspetti positivi:

utilizzo giornalmente questo programma per collegarmi ai diversi server dei clienti in remoto. Molto stabile e sicuro.

L'unica "pecca" è che non permette di salvare o memorizzare diverse connessioni, questo sarebbe molto utile soprattutto se lavoro su diversi profili.

Ottima vpn

Commenti: in azienda ci permette di connetterci alle macchine virtuali

Aspetti positivi:

la uso spesso per connettermi in desktop remoto alle macchine dei clienti, mai avuto un problema di connessione

Aspetti negativi:

nella versione che uso io non è possibile salvare le credenziali per più di una connessione, sarebbe comodo poterlo fare

Very user-friendly. Tons of features.

Commenti: Excellent. I have used firewalls and network devices in the past that had horrible web interfaces (or none at all), or didn't offer everything that seemed to be necessary in network and internet filtering and tracking. The Firebox is--for lack of a better word--very enjoyable to use.

Aspetti positivi:

Our WatchGuard Firebox has been up and running for years. It has an extremely user-friendly web-based interface, and has plenty of optional "addons" that can be purchased to give you as much or as little control and safety over your network and internet usage as you need.

Aspetti negativi:

Some steps (like for example, opening up a port to the outside world to go to a specific device on your network) can sometimes feel overly complicated. Maybe it's all necessary, but sometimes there are a LOT of steps that have to be done just to accomplish what seems like a simple goal or task.

Watchguard the best

Commenti: I am satisfied with Watchguard products, they are of excellent quality and last over time... customers are satisfied and have a fair price for the market.

Aspetti positivi:

The ease in managing the configuration of the various features and the quality of the work that the firewall does. Even in complex realities, you can always manage everything with great ease

Aspetti negativi:

The distribution part. There should be more distribution partners and be more structured in the territory.

Powerful but overwhelming

Commenti: I have multiple years of experience with Fireboxes across many different I have several years of experience with fireboxes in various environments.environments.

Aspetti positivi:

Fireboxes are full-featured firewalls that can protect businesses small, large, and anywhere in between.

Aspetti negativi:

The interface is difficult to use, whether using the GUI or the management software.

Review from a reseller.

Commenti: Overall, since all my customers use Watchgaurd firewalls (minus the one customer who doesn't want to spend money on firewall renewals) I'm very happy with Watchgaurd.

Aspetti positivi:

I've been using Watchguards for years and I still love the fact that you can upgrade from one to the next with such ease.

Aspetti negativi:

The cost. They are great, but it's hard to sell them to customers because of the price. Also, the response from tech support has slowed a little bit over the last few years. When you create a case online, sometimes it's been over 24-48 hours before I get the first call back.

Easy to deploy, reliable and secure

Commenti: We install and maintain Watchguard firebox appliances and they proved to provide our customers with the security requirements they demand.

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to setup, both from the web management and from the management tools. Using and maintaining the firewall is straighforward. The facility to have backup copies of th config is very good for when it comes to satisfy company change management procedures.

Aspetti negativi:

Renewals especially for higher end products are costly.

Worth recommending

Commenti: One of Firebox’s standout features is its intuitive, cloud-based management platform, which simplifies configuration, monitoring, and reporting. The real-time visibility into network activity and detailed reports make it easier to spot and respond to potential threats. While Firebox delivers strong security capabilities, it can be overkill for smaller organizations with simpler needs. Additionally, some advanced features require a subscription, which can increase the total cost of ownership. Overall, WatchGuard Firebox is a reliable choice for organizations seeking a high-performance, scalable firewall solution with strong security and ease of management.

Aspetti positivi:

Strong Security Features, User-Friendly Interface, Scalability, Flexible Deployment Options, Comprehensive Reporting, Integrated Security Services, Regular Updates and Enhancements

Aspetti negativi:

Rare updates, no Wireguard VPN which is currently one of the fastest.

Firebox is affordable option for enterprise protection.

Commenti: The Watchguard Firebox series of routers have captured ease-of-use and affordability in their corner of the enterprise market. Not only do I use a firebox for my home network, but I manage more than a dozen for home and business customers.

Aspetti positivi:

The Firebox has web-based and application management features. There is highly-granular control of settings. It has multiple levels of support packages. They also work right of the box for a new network set-up.

Aspetti negativi:

The Firebox is a little expensive for home users. While they work right out of the box, advanced configurations can be a little daunting for those with minimal network skills.

Good for value

Commenti: In general it does the job. We do not have any big complains. Price to value ratio is high.

Aspetti positivi:

It is all in one and has nice and easy interface. I would give 5 stars but there are a couple of minor flows. the best value would be 4.5 stars.

Aspetti negativi:

You need separate applications to manage the firewalls.

Enjoy Watchguard

Commenti: Very enjoyable, been dealing with them for almost 25+ years now.

Aspetti positivi:

Durability and reliability of the product in a production environment

Not really a least as long as they don't force the cloud product and allow for stand alone operations.

Easy to manage, subscription services are fantastic, purchasing is easy and above all we trust them to be secure!

Some stuff is not as easy to find depending on what interface you use. I like the desktop app, but some prefer the web gui. I wish the dimensions command server was a little less pricey.

Firebox features & reliability

Commenti: EXCELLENT! Once I understood how to set up the boxes, it was easy to maintain the Corporate network. I set up the Firewalls with minimum effort, and added more later to refine the security for the company. I've set up others, and while they are easier, the Fireboxes have all the features you would ever need to protect your environment.

Aspetti positivi:

The ease of which I can set it up, the VPN reliability, Speed that it works at. It saved us through the Pandemic. We have been using Watchguard products since 2009, and rely on them 100%. They're simply outstanding for what they are.

Aspetti negativi:

The manual is about 2000 pages and took me about a month to absorb, but once I finished, I know much more than I ever knew about security, and setting up Corporate tunnels and VPN's.

Security and Flexibility Combined

Commenti: Overall, WatchGuard Firebox provides a robust security solution. The product effectively protects networks from external threats and continuously improves with regular feature updates. Especially the threat detection and prevention systems are highly effective. While the setup process can be a bit challenging, the security and flexibility it offers more than make up for this minor drawback.

Aspetti positivi:

What I liked most about WatchGuard Firebox is its advanced security features and user-friendly interface. It offers a wide range of tools and flexible configuration options to enhance network security. Additionally, the regular updates and the prompt response of the support team enhance the product's reliability.

Aspetti negativi:

The least I liked is that the initial setup can be a bit complex. New users might need some technical support. Also, the updates can occasionally slow down the system for a short period.

Using WatchGuard firewalls for business environments.

Aspetti positivi:

Using WatchGuard firewalls for business environments just makes sense. The features and function they deliver for the cost is excellent.

Aspetti negativi:

I can't say anything bad about WatchGuard. I have used them at home and in business for years.

WatchGuard Firebox review from mid size business

Aspetti positivi:

These are very reliable units. Support is pretty good and can be reached over the phone (as long as you have a paid support agreement).

Aspetti negativi:

Complicated to configure. Yearly required services are pricey.

Watchguard Leads the Way

Commenti: I have used a variety of WatchGuard Firebox products including: T-10; T-20; T-35; and the T-45 over the past 10 years.

Aspetti positivi:

Cost Customer and Tech Support Security Features Provides a hardware defense against unauthorized intrusions

Aspetti negativi:

Setup can be tough for the first-time user. It's important to work with tech support to achieve a successful setup the first time.

Watchguard Firebox a very robust and cost-effective firewall.

Aspetti positivi:

Price and very straight forward licensing system. Basically, you have three types of licenses: Support, Basic, and Total Security. Nonetheless, you have the option of a-la-carte for some funcionalities.

Aspetti negativi:

The lower end models get a huge impact on performance if you decide to use a lot of the features. So, the Total Security license on those models is a waste of money.

Feature rich with great customer support

Commenti: Very happy with the features they provide along with their amazin gcustomer support

Aspetti positivi:

The feature rich suite of total secruity suite

Aspetti negativi:

Cannot easily move an interface from a 1gb port to a 10gb port.
