“We believe that in a world where complexity is woven throughout every aspect of the threat landscape, comprehensive cybersecurity protection is best delivered via our Unified Security Platform architecture, which features powerful security services that are easy to deploy and manage via a single pane of glass,” said Michelle Welch, CMO and SVP of Business Strategy at WatchGuard Technologies. “These TrustRadius recognitions show that we’re winning with the people who use our solutions every day. We put partners and customers front and center in everything we do, and it’s great to see such positive feedback from our community of users.”

Since 2016, the TrustRadius Top Rated Awards have become the B2B’s industry standard for unbiased recognition of excellent technology products. Based entirely on customer feedback, they have never been influenced by analyst opinion or status as a TrustRadius customer.
Below are several reviews from verified users that contributed to WatchGuard’s TrustRadius Top Rated Award wins:
- "We use WatchGuard firewalls at multiple locations. These models vary from small to large, but we use the full security suite at all sites. These firewalls are easy to configure but offer exceptional value in the security elements that the full suite adds. This all comes at a cost point much lower than the competition,” said an executive with a computer and network security company. "The value is in the fact that I can do everything from a single pane of glass. In an age where services are typically split between solutions…this is a breath of fresh air."
- “I have experience with WatchGuard Endpoint Security (EPDR) with small companies of five or more endpoints, to large companies with hundreds of endpoints, and find it well-suited for both types and everything in between. However, it is particularly good for companies with lean IT departments due to the awesomely automated and intelligent tools it provides for quick investigation and response,” said an executive with an IT services company. “Also, its automated whitelist approval process for unknown executables is extremely fast, thereby reducing and sometimes even eliminating delays that could impair employee performance.”
- “We utilize WatchGuard AuthPoint to adhere to our company's cybersecurity insurance policy requirements. It effectively facilitates Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and has been easily adopted by all our users, including those who are not technically inclined,” said an IT director at a commercial real estate agency. “The setup process was straightforward, and it has demonstrated consistent uptime and reliability. We have used it to scale between 30 and 100 workers over the past 4 years.”
