WatchGuard Application Control Room for Improvement
The solution does what it does. I don't notice any real shortcomings.
The licensing can be a bit expensive.

The control software is currently only available for Windows, which can be a little annoying. However, it is painless to use. A future release that is more focused on Linux would be great. Also, it would be helpful if it provided more diagnostic information on the OS side. So, a Java application that works for every other OS would be helpful.

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. Because of this, the administrator has to check the logs to find out. It would be better if the user could call the administrator and explain that the page has been blocked by Application Control, and give the details, like the category and the reason, at that time. In the Web Blocker module, you can define a message that is sent to the user on their browser.

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.

They could expand the amount of applications that are on the list, but it's pretty intensive anyway, so it's pretty good.

There should be more reports available on different subjects. There is a set of predefined Dimension reports but there needs to be more available on aspects like security and Wi-Fi.

The solution needs to improve the interface. I'm not able to easily find things using it. In the future, it would be nice if they could offer deadlock with an addition of desk geolocation.
