The product combines ransomware and malware prevention with behavioural threat detection, anti-exploit capabilities, endpoint isolation, and advanced investigation tools. WatchGuard positions this as a prevention-first approach designed for organisations where traditional antivirus falls short against zero-day and fileless attacks. The vendor markets this specifically to MSPs managing customer endpoints across multiple organisations. The solution scales across four tiers: Basic for foundational protection, Prime adding incident visibility and alert tuning, 360 for simplified protection without complexity, and Elite for full detection and response with deep telemetry and investigation tools. All tiers deploy through WatchGuard's cloud-based Unified Security Platform, integrating endpoint, network, identity, and Wi-Fi security in one administrative console. WatchGuard Endpoint Security supports Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints, enabling MSPs to manage heterogeneous fleets from a single interface. The product integrates with major RMM platforms including ConnectWise, N-Able and NinjaOne, as well as PSA systems including Autotask, HaloPSA and ConnectWise, without requiring a single-vendor stack. Managed EDR is available as an add-on service, bringing 24/7 security specialist monitoring, threat investigation, and proactive threat hunting. Pricing is not published and available only via quote based on endpoint count, contract term and selected tier. WatchGuard was founded in 1996 and has offices across 179 countries. Support is available 24/7 via phone and web through three service tiers: Standard with 4-hour critical response, Gold with 1-hour critical response, and Platinum with dedicated account management and quarterly reviews. Training includes documentation, videos, webinars, live online sessions and in-person training through WatchGuard's Learning Centre. ## Our take WatchGuard Endpoint Security targets MSPs and SMBs seeking a cloud-native endpoint solution combining prevention and detection in a single agent across multiple operating systems. Competitors include Microsoft Defender for Business, CrowdStrike Falcon and SentinelOne. Pricing is quote-only, making budget comparison difficult without a demo. Verify detection depth on macOS and Linux during evaluation, as these platforms may have feature parity differences. The four-tier approach requires clarifying which tier matches your typical customer size. Consider Managed EDR if your MSP plans to offer managed security services without building an internal SOC. ## Pricing WatchGuard Endpoint Security does not publish a list price. ## Features | Feature | Supported | Note | | --- | --- | --- | | Behavioural detection | yes | Behavioural threat detection available in Prime, 360 and Elite tiers | | Automated remediation | yes | Cross-platform automated response through Unified Security Platform | | Threat hunting console | yes | Proactive threat hunting available through Managed EDR add-on | | Managed MDR add-on | yes | WatchGuard Managed EDR available with 24/7 monitoring and threat investigation | | SIEM and SOAR integration | yes | Integrates with WatchGuard's Unified Security Platform for centralised response | | RMM integration | yes | Documented integrations with ConnectWise, N-Able, NinjaOne and others | | macOS support | yes | macOS support explicitly stated in product documentation | | Linux support | yes | Linux support explicitly stated in product documentation | ## Integrations - ConnectWise, https://mspsoftware.net/software/connectwise-rmm - NinjaOne, https://mspsoftware.net/software/ninjaone - N-Able N-central, https://mspsoftware.net/software/n-central - Autotask, https://mspsoftware.net/software/autotask - HaloPSA, https://mspsoftware.net/software/halopsa ## Alternatives - Huntress: Managed detection and response for MSPs, priced per endpoint from $7.99 a month direct. https://mspsoftware.net/software/huntress.
