"The solution is very easy to use."
"WatchGuard is very user-friendly. It provides us with all of the security services we need."
"The protection that it provides from ransomware is valuable. The awareness that it has is also valuable. It didn't have a central console earlier, but now it has a central console, which is pretty good."
 

Cons

"The solution is expensive."
"It does not cover all of our security issues."
"My opinion is that behavior detection could work better. This feature gets a high rate of false positives."
"We would like to have better strategic information."
"The technical support team should respond in a more timely manner."
"The system can be heavy, slowing down performance."
"I would like to integrate Kaspersky with my Log Collector SIEM. Right now that's not possible."
"An area for improvement in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is its technical support because currently, technical support is delayed."
"WatchGuard should offer more visibility into user activity. For example, we should have more details when WatchGuard denies a user access to a port."
"The administrative UI/UX could be significantly improved."
"The pricing of WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response could be improved."
"The reporting isn't so good. If they worked to improve this aspect of the solution, it would be much stronger."

"This product needs to be fully integrated with the firewall. Currently, it only sends logs to the cloud and asks the firewall to correlate them."
"The ease of detecting where an issue is should be improved."
"It can have a couple of false positives, but after you add them to your allow list, it works fine. It could have better Mac support. I am pretty sure it doesn't have much support for Mac. It can be installed on a Mac, but it is not that good."
