February 8, 2006 - What Tech Support? by Never Again, Product Rating: 1/5
Watchguard tech support international tech support offers little but broken promises to call, runarounds and long holds. When the remote access software fails to load on two of three new laptops, tech support is at a loss and takes 3+ hours before they just give up. It takes another hour and a half of talking to a supervisor to get the incident escalated.

Recommendation : Don't buy this product and don't waste your money on extended support.

Watchguard has decent products but they can be difficult to work with especially the V class. Online help and documentation are useless. Their international tech support is useless and the US based tech support is difficult to get a hold of. We are on the east coast and they always returned my calls after business hours. I have better experience with Sonicwall products and tech support. I would never have bought Watchguard firewall if I have known this ahead of time.
