If you are going to use it, get trained on the solution. We value our partnerships with the vendors of the products we sell. We train our technicians and our salespeople. We get as deeply involved with the vendors as possible so that we know how to not only sell their products and position them but also configure and support them. Training and getting involved with the vendor is important. I rate WatchGuard Secure Wi-Fi an eight out of ten.

It is a good solution. I find WatchGuard to be over priced. I would rate it as six out of ten.

I would say simply for most public facilities and schools there wouldn't be a budget for a Passpoint license. I would suggest taking a good look at WatchGuard, do a demo, check it out in your environment and I guarantee you'll want to keep it. With any wireless environment, you want to look at what's there already before you start applying APs. My system is set up to block a user. If they're using their own 4G or 5G, that's fine. But if you have a hotspot device and get on my WiFi with it instead of using your 4G and then you hook it up to your laptop on that same subnet, that's when my system sees a security violation. I need to protect my users to make sure that every client that connects is connecting to my AP on my WiFi and not connecting to a fake site. I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.

If I were tasked to set up new WiFi at a single site, or at multiple locations for hundreds of sites, I would make this solution my first choice. You could evaluate another platform against it but a feature-to-feature comparison, coupled with the ease of deployment, should place WatchGuard ahead. It scales easily and you won’t need a team of specialists to configure it. Your licensing and cost, as would be required for many other solutions, being considered for eighty to two hundred and eighty different physical locations, is just about the same amount per access point.
