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. Manageable. With features that you can't see in others. > > **Cons**: Nothing so far. I'm still exploring but should i find for improvement i'll let you know > > Highly recommended. Been using the cisco ASAxxx but this is totally different. ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/154706/unified-threat-management?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/154706/unified-threat-management) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
