WatchGuard XTM [EOL] Stability
I found this device to be one of the most stable platforms that I have worked with. Even when the UI seemed to fail on a device, the product still functioned until we had time to reboot the device and bring the UI back online.
View full review »We encountered some issues with the older generation firewalls (e.g. XTM 515s), however, the more recent models have been very stable.

No issues with stability! When I thought I had an issue, tech support said the issue was with another device connected to it, and they were correct.

The stability is fine. We experience operating system issues, but these are not related to this specific product.

In my experience with WG, stability issues are associated with bad configurations.

We had a stability issue. Sometimes devices hang and it is very difficult to understand why. Sometimes we rebooted the system and it started to work, but we couldn’t understand what the issue was.

View full review »When I first took over as administrator, it was common to "reboot the firewall" to overcome any connection/communication issues with a particular VoIP vendor (running across HTTPS). After upgrading the firmware, this issue went away. Aside from this potentially being a WatchGuard issue, I have experienced nothing similar and it is very stable.

View full review »Early models of the XTM2 (e.g. 21, 22, 23) line lacked sufficient memory, and caused a number of issues that required frequent reboots. WatchGuard has since discontinued that line and has replaced them with a more robust XTM25 and 26 option.

Yes, in previous firmwares, you have problems with leaked memory using SSL inspection, problems with Active Directory when the user exists inside more than one group, and problems with site-to-site VPNs in previous firmwares - lost connection but the enlace is still up.
