WatchGuard XTM [EOL] Other Solutions Considered
I had been a vendor of firewall services for many years prior to deploying WatchGuard technology. I evaluated and was not impressed with SonicWALL, or Untangle. I was deploying pfSense on boxes and found that the WatchGuard platform was perfect in size, and the software seemed to match all of the features of pfSense. The reason for switching ultimately came down to additional customer service and availability of support.

View full review »Because we are an IT solutions provider, we looked into a few different options before deciding to proceed with WatchGuard. We looked at continuing with SonicWall, Cisco, Adtran, etc. WatchGuard was the best fit for our company as well as our clients.
View full review »Previously, I wanted to use Juniper as my firewall. However, after consulting with the vendor and reviewing the product ranking and features, we finally chose WatchGuard for our solution.
We chose it based on “medium price with high quality and security that its features can use.” So we chose it for the frontend firewall and we have another for the backend firewall.

I like the Sonicwall interface experience better, the VPN configurations, and Active Directory (LDAP) integration for SSO.
