    Chose WatchGuard Network Security
    WatchGuard Network Security has more features than Peplink and Meraki and ultimately makes it a better firewall than them. Sophos is very similar in feature set however WatchGuard's approach to management and visibility sets it apart.

    Chose WatchGuard Network Security
    Sophos is more advanced and is better in the Gartner quadrant right now. It is more sophisticated as well. I still use WatchGuard because it is still functional for part of the company conglomerate but might be centralizing everything under Sophos soon.

    Chose WatchGuard Network Security
    Terrible to use in comparison. You can't find what you want, reliability is much worse and the total cost has been much higher
