WatchGuardBasic Security Suite for Firebox T15 - Subscription License Renewal/Upgrade License - 1 Appliance - 1 Year
T**G
Small enough to fit SMB Budget, but powerful enough for real security
This was purchased for use at a small company. They have 5 users on-site, but because they are a business, they needed more than just set and forget firewall which becomes outdated quickly and no one knows.These FireBox firewalls (I have deployed over 10 of them now of various versions) allow me to keep an eye on them and update them when needed to keep my clients secure. They also allow me to block traffic from specific countries. This allows me to shut down traffic from known threat actors before they ever hit the other firewall rules.Watchguard also gives me an overview in a cloud-managed interface so that I can issue restarts, check on performance, etc. without having to remote into each firewall.The downsides? To get all that functionality you have to maintain a subscription. But unlike other subscription-based firewalls, if you let it lapse, the firewall doesn't stop working... it just can't be updated anymore, and you can't get it replaced should it break.It's a little complex and uses terminology unique to Watchguard (I'm talking to you SNAT), but once I started using them almost exclusively, that ceased to be a challenge.
