The major problem is pricing and licensing loss. In India, the cost for renewal after three years is 75% of the hardware cost, which is a significant problem. Your review may be available to third parties and on third-party websites. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
I would recommend the solution to others. It's effective because it stops data from being sent out easily once set up. I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

I would rate WatchGuard five out of 10, but all of the data loss protection solutions I've looked at would be in that five range. I haven't found one that I would put much faith in. Honestly, I think that data loss protection is just part of a whole configuration. Let's say you need granular control, reporting, and things of that nature. In that case, you need to do an extensive job configuring the firewall. It's probably insufficient to run the quick setup wizard and say that's good enough. So if you're looking to implement a feature like data loss protection, you probably need to have a relatively advanced technical person doing that configuration. So it's not difficult. But conceptually, to be effective, you need to have an excellent understanding of firewalls and firewall methodology.

My advice for anyone is to get adequate knowledge. Whatever firewall brand you are going to use, you have to train one IT person for maintenance and support. Sometimes, or oftentimes, you don't want to have to rely on the vendor or the technical support, but to rely on your own IT by making them knowledgeable and capable of maintaining and monitoring the firewalls. Then you're good to go! On a scale from 1 to 10 where 1 is the worst and 10 is the best, I would rate WatchGuard Data Loss Prevention an eight.
