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. ----- ### "Very user-friendly. Tons of features." — 5.0/5 > **John** | *September 12, 2024* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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. > > 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. ----- 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
