Chose WatchGuard XTM - Discontinued Product
I believe this is the firewall series I worked on. The machine is terrible to configure as settings aren't grouped how a normal person would expect. Settings can be poorly labeled, adding more issues/confusion to the issues. I have not had a great experience trying to get …

Chose WatchGuard XTM - Discontinued Product
While these are all great firewalls, the price of the Palo Alto and Cisco boxes were high enough to make them not a viable option. I believe that the WatchGuard is in a leauge of its own in the price point. While there are nicer offerings out there, you will need to have a much …

Chose WatchGuard XTM - Discontinued Product
Again, WatchGuard is priced much lower than other vendors in its space. It may not have some of the bigger features such as Layer 7 awareness. It's more simple to manage and provides IT staff the time to work on other tasks versus time spent to create complex rule sets.

The web filter is complicated when you don't have a server to log in users.
Companies using static IPs.
They have to be clear about the number of users that the company has in order to obtain the correct model since each one has its resources according to the number of users.

Pros
No answers on this topic
  • They are simple to set up and configure. With just a few months of experience you can easily deploy any series of XTM in mid to small environments in minutes. I can deploy clustered M5600 in an enterprise within 30 minutes straight from the box, that's easy.
  • They are very reasonably priced and competitive in the market. For small and mid-sized businesses it's hard to beat the bang for the buck.
  • After setting them up, it's also very easy to fine tune and manage them. The packet monitor is very useful in troubleshooting and I use it to tighten down rule sets.
  • Dimension is a great packet analyzer and I think they still offer it as a free tool.
