Find out in this report how the two Application Control solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Application filter features are the most valuable for us."
"Content filtering is really easy to use. We have rules for content filtering. One of the rules that we have is that if it is not an SSL site, it should block the site. It scans, and if it finds a bad site, it is not going to allow it. We can also block based on what the company wants us to block. If the company wants us to block porn, we'll block porn. If the company wants to block social media, we're going to block social media."
"The fact that I can limit access to certain apps is the most valuable feature for me. For example, I can restrict access to specific websites or certain functions within websites."
"We have witnessed an ROI as it has helped with security measures."
"The solution is very stable. We've never had any problems with stability. Once a year we do a reboot just as a precaution. The solution never stops running otherwise."
"I found several features valuable in WatchGuard Application Control such as the HTTP Proxy, DNSWatch, VPN, and HTTPS Content Inspection."
"Centralization is a crucial feature for me as it allows me to have all sites and customers accessible under a single click, not limited to just one."
"It's user-friendly. And if you are using a WatchGuard device and you want to test that side of the software, it's quite easy to get the license to test it."
"It does the job of what it says it does. We set it to what we want it to block and then it blocks it."
"The most valuable feature is the category control."
"Zero-trust and threat-hunting services are most valuable."
"There is room for improvement in blocking torrents."
"The only thing that they need to improve is that they drop sessions. Currently, if you see a session come in, such as a DHCP session or a VPN session, you don't have the ability to click on that session, hit drop, and have them re-negotiate. It would be a really nice feature, and they are working on it. This is the only feature that is missing."
"Reporting functionality could be improved to provide more comprehensive insights."
"They could expand the amount of applications that are on the list, but it's pretty intensive anyway, so it's pretty good."
"The control software is currently only available for Windows, which can be a little annoying for Linux users."
"There should be more reports available on different subjects."
"The solution needs to improve the interface. I'm not able to easily find things using it."
"What could be improved in WatchGuard Application Control is its price. It could be cheaper. You always want the best price for any solution, but for security products, pricing is usually on the higher side."
"The time they take to classify an application once they find that it is unknown can be better."
"I believe there is room for improvement in policies, with the potential to enhance the margins further."
"There is no message displayed for the user on the desktop informing them that access to a web page has been blocked by Application Control."
