Pricing and Cost Advice

Information Not Available

Like all other manufacturers, there are a lot of features and different pricing. The best is to talk to a representative.Very competitive pricing regarding throughput compared to other alternatives.It costs less than the SO works and others (like SonicWall, Cisco, and Barracuda) without increasing so much CPU use.Get at least a maintenance contract for the updates and take a larger WatchGuard than you need. A WatchGuard creates new ways to secure your network.
