"WatchGuard is very user-friendly. It provides us with all of the security services we need."
"The tool provides automated responses."
"ZTNA can improve latency."

"Falcon could include more integrative features."
"A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed. It could be a day to three days before you received a response, which was a bit frustrating. There was a lot of customer feedback around this issue, which has been greatly refined."
"It does take more time to scan than other solutions."
"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."
"The interface is not the best."
"The reporting isn't so good. If they worked to improve this aspect of the solution, it would be much stronger."
"WatchGuard should offer more visibility into user activity. For example, we should have more details when WatchGuard denies a user access to a port."
"The website must provide more information on the product."
"The administrative UI/UX could be significantly improved."
"This product needs to be fully integrated with the firewall. Currently, it only sends logs to the cloud and asks the firewall to correlate them."
"When it comes to live-monitoring, the user-interface could be improved to make things easier."
"It can have a couple of false positives, but after you add them to your allow list, it works fine. It could have better Mac support. I am pretty sure it doesn't have much support for Mac. It can be installed on a Mac, but it is not that good."
