In particular, it scored 6 stars for "Features & Design," and 5 stars for "Value for Money," "Performance," and the "Overall Rating."
"Small businesses are easy targets for hackers because they tend to have either outdated security systems or consumer-grade endpoint protection," said Brendan Patterson, Senior Manager of Product Management at WatchGuard Technologies. "Unlike other low-cost firewalls, the XTM 330 has enterprise class security, but in a form factor and at a price that works for any small business. It truly is a no-compromise, ultimate firewall that is optimized for today's threat landscape."
In particular, PC Pro calls out that the XTM 330 "offers impressive performance and strong features for a surprisingly low price." As for the WebBlocker service, which provides 55 categories that can be blocked or allowed on a per-policy basis, PC Pro found that it delivered "excellent results in our live filtering tests." In summary, PC Pro says, "It packs in plenty of security features and is more versatile than any other appliance we've seen at this price point."
