It's user-friendly. And if you are using a WatchGuard device and you want to test that side of the software, it's quite easy to get the license to test it.

The solution is very stable. We've never had any problems with stability. Once a year we do a reboot just as a precaution. The solution never stops running otherwise.

It does the job of what it says it does. We set it to what we want it to block and then it blocks it.

The time they take to classify an application once they find that it is unknown can be better.

What could be improved in WatchGuard Application Control is its price. It could be cheaper. You always want the best price for any solution, but for security products, pricing is usually on the higher side.

They could expand the amount of applications that are on the list, but it's pretty intensive anyway, so it's pretty good.
