WatchGuard Application Control Reviews

I used to use it for different customers; however, now I use it for one site. We primarily use the solution for application control. It's to block applications we don't want users to use. 

We like the blocking capabilities on offer. 

I like the brand, and I know the product really well, which is what keeps me using it. I have a good knowledge of the solution. 

It is stable and reliable.

The solution can scale well.

Technical support has been helpful. 

We have witnessed an ROI as it has helped with security measures. 

Security use cases for on-premises deployment involve safeguarding my customer's internet connections to ensure the safety of their digital assets.

I appreciate the intuitive design of the dashboard, which is both clear and self-explanatory. Additionally, the ongoing efforts to update the product and the valuable feedback received from technical support hold significant importance for me. Centralization is a crucial feature for me as it allows me to have all sites and customers accessible under a single click, not limited to just one.

I've used it for network control, and it's been quite helpful.

We have used it to keep our network clean and only allow certain things to work. So, it's useful for network control.

Our primary use case for this solution is traffic management.

When the system recognizes that we are using something like VoIP, Skype, or Cisco Video Conference, then one can adjust the bandwidth. For example, we have it set so that VoIP has a limit of 120Kbps (Kilobits per second).

The most valuable feature of this solution is traffic management.

We like the diversity of categories for blocking and allowing traffic.

This solution is very easy to manage.

The main use case is to avoid zero-trust attacks because, from Application Control, I can only run known applications. Every unknown application is placed on hold or blocked.

Zero-trust and threat-hunting services are most valuable.

It is easy to use, and with the features it has, you feel that you are being protected.

I found several features valuable in WatchGuard Application Control such as the HTTP Proxy, DNSWatch, VPN, and HTTPS Content Inspection.

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.

We use it internally and we are an MSP for lots of other companies that use it as well. Our primary use case is to block applications. 

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. 

We were primarily using WatchGuard to control applications that were trying to access offsite network locations.

I am no longer using this solution because it was in my previous job.

This is a feature-rich product.

The most valuable feature is the category control.

This is an easy product to manage.
