Review on GateWatcher by Bruce Marable

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great tool when monitoring your IT infrastructure

It's easy to setup, it does what I need and more! I have been able to find any issues that are present with our network within minutes. I love the ease of use and the fact that it can be set up for a very small business or large enterprise. The only thing that I dislike about this product is that it doesn't work well with older operating systems. However, there are other products out there that will work with those OSs. I recommend GateWatcher to anyone looking for a solution to their security needs. It has helped us secure our network from malware and viruses. We have also been able to see what devices are connected to our network and who is using them. This helps us monitor employee usage and ensure they are not using our computers for personal reasons.

Pros
  • Very user friendly GUI
  • Easy access when you want something done quickly.
  • Can add rules easily by typing in rule names instead having an Excel sheet which takes ages if your working off hours at home etc
Cons
  • On some networks (such as ours) we had trouble finding Gateway Watchers because DNS records were old so sometimes would take time before giving results even though gateway was live
