WatchGuard XTM [EOL] Previous Solutions
Previously we used a software firewall deployed to a form factor box. We switched because of my experience with the product and the stability.
View full review »We used to use various other firewall solutions Including Cisco, Sonicwall, and Fortinet. We switched because WatchGuard offered better value for money without sacrificing security. We found the ease of configuration, tools, and features on this next generation firewall to be a better value than other firewalls with no security compromise.

I have used SonicWALL since 1999. I switched when SonicWALL was sold to Dell and their technical support was hard to work with.

We moved because of price, management, stability, scalability.
View full review »We were using a different solution previously, but it didn't prove perfect for our requirements. It lacked many features like URL filtering, log analysis etc. So we were searching for a better product. We had a proof of concept from three reputed products.
Finally, WatchGuard offered almost all the features we needed, coupled with the lowest recurring cost, i.e. annual subscription renewals.

We didn't use a similar solution, but we have used MicroTik routers and UNIX firewalls.
View full review »We used SonicWall. We made the switch shortly after Dell acquired them due to their continued wireless issues. WatchGuard seemed to be much more stable and scalable. We have had much better success with WatchGuard and are very glad we made the switch, especially for our customers.

View full review »We used both Juniper SRX and TMG. We replaced Juniper because it is hard to troubleshoot as there is no real-time traffic monitoring, and we replaced TMG because it was end of life.

View full review »We also looked at Fortinet but the problem with them is not the firewall, but the impact in the full UTM traffic. WatchGuard is less susceptible to this negative impact.

I previously used Check Point, which does have a better ability to monitor specific traffic.
