## Reviews

### "WatchGuard Firebox" — 5.0/5

> **Ron** | *July 29, 2025* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The WatchGuard Firebox T40 keeps our network safe from outside intrusions and theft.  It gives our company a piece of mind knowing we have security in place to protect our clients data.
> 
> **Cons**: I'm not familiar with the software aspect of our Firebox T40, so we have outsourced that part to another company.
> 
> We have been using WatchGuard devices for over five years and they have kept our network and data safe.

### "Very good products" — 5.0/5

> **Yves** | *April 9, 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Good product with affordable prices. Easy to setup and maintain
> 
> **Cons**: yearly subscriptions that keep increasing like any other product
> 
> I am a network administrator that uses watchguard products for all my customers and very satisfied with the time I save to protect my customer's network. Time that I can use to develop their network

### "A must try equipment and service" — 4.0/5

> **RHENAN** | *April 9, 2025* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use.&#10;Manageable.&#10;With features that you can't see in others.

### "Watchguard Network Security Review" — 5.0/5

> **John** | *October 25, 2024* | Security & Investigations | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very reliable monitoring as blocking of unauthorized access sources. The ability to view reports of all network users is excellent. Helps to keep secure staff usage.
> 
> **Cons**: Can’t think of any at the moment Watchguard has consistently delivered no complaints.
> 
> We have been customers for over 10 years and really appreciate the services.

### "Total security is not total security" — 5.0/5

> **Andrew** | *July 16, 2024* | Security & Investigations | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the security features that come on the devices. I love being able to show the staff. Employers what staff is doing/looking at. I love the ease of the VPN and Brach office VPN's
> 
> **Cons**: When you buy "total Security" Package and you find out there is SO much more that isn't provided. When you buy something for $1000 per device for a year, that SAYS total security and you find out there is still features you need to pay more for. That isn't very pleasant. Be upfront and honest. When I go to the site, I find SOO many features that aren't available and pay the amount I am. BLOWS my mind.
> 
> Overall. Its a great device. It does what it says. It protects the company. Cant argue with that.
