 ___________________________________________________________________________________
 
Purchase Options  
 
When it comes to purchasing an XTM 23 or XTM 23-W (wireless) appliance you have several options, each with their own pro's and con's. Option 1 (Appliance Only), Option 2 (Appliance bundled with LiveSecurity), Option 3 (Appliance bundled with XTM Security Suite), and Option 4 (Trade-up Options). Then you have various subscriptions, model upgrade paths to the XTM 23/23-W, add-ons, and accessories available to you as well.
  
  

 
Option 1: Appliance Only (Wired or Wireless)
 
Pro's for this use:
  • Can use as a very basic firewall is that is all you want and not concerned about increasing security at the gateway.
  • Can use as a VPN Appliance where you have to VPN into Headquarter's Firewall to access the Internet.
  • Use the XTM 22-W as a wireless access point only.
  • The XTM 23/23-W models ships with Fireware® XTM Pro operating system.
  • Can upgrade to the XTM 23/23-W by simply purchasing a license key. No need to trade-up to a new box. Keep the same box, apply the key and you move up the XTM 23/23-W with all the extra features and benefits associated that model.
Con's for this use:
  • Only have very basic firewall security . . . may not allow you to meet PCI/DSS, HIPPA, or any number of data protection regulations unless you are using it as only a VPN appliance to access the Internet through headquarter's firewall.
  • Support is limited to 90-days. Must renew by expiry date or you will have to purchase a . . .
    • 1-year Renewal + Reinstatement fee OR
    • 2 or more year Renewal to avoid Reinstatement fee.
  • To add-on XTM security Suite, any of the individual security services, and or support subscriptions at a later date will be more expensive than purchasing the bundled options that are available.

 Back to Top


 
Option 2: Appliance bundled with LiveSecurity (1, 2, or 3-year Options)
 
Pro's for this use:
  • You can purchase the appliance bundled with 1, 2, or 3-year of LiveSecurity® Support (upgradeable to LiveSecurity® Gold) which includes your:
    • Advanced hardware replacement in case of a failure,
    •  12x5 Technical Support with 4-hour response (up to 5 incidents per subscription year on the web or phone),
    • Security Alerts,
    • Firmware/Software Updates, and
    • Online Training & Tools
  • LiveSecurity Support is a renewable subscription.
  • Can use as a simple basic firewall but will have support in case you need it or need to replace the hardware quickly in case of a failure.
  • Can use as a VPN Appliance where you have to VPN into Headquarter's Firewall to access the Internet and still have support in case you need it or need to replace the hardware quickly in case of a failure.
  • Can use the XTM 23-W as a wireless access point only and still have support in case you need it or need to replace the hardware quickly in case of a failure.
  • The XTM 23/23-W models ships with Fireware® XTM Pro operating system.
  • Can upgrade to the XTM 23/23-W by simply purchasing a license key. No need to trade-up to a new box. Keep the same box, apply the key and you move up the XTM 23/23-W with all the extra features and benefits associated that model.

Con's for this use:

  • Though you have LiveSecurity Support, you still only have very basic firewall security which may not allow you to meet PCI/DSS, HIPPA, or any number of data protection regulations.
  • You do not have any gateway security (i.e. XTM Security Suite).
  • To add-on XTM security Suite or any of the individual security services at a later date is more expensive than purchasing the XTM Security bundled options that are available and that inlcude the support.
 
 

 
Option 3: Appliance bundled with XTM Security Suite (1, 2, or 3-year Options)
 
Pro's for this use:
  • You can purchase the appliance bundled with 1, 2, or 3-year of XTM Security Suite which includes your:
    • Gateway Anti-virus,
    • Intrusion Prevention Service (Now More Robust),
    • spamBlocker,
    • WebBlocker, and
    • LiveSecurity® Support (upgradeable to LiveSecurity® Gold) includes
      • Advanced hardware replacement in case of a failure,
      • 12x5 Technical Support with 4-hour response (up to 5 incidents per subscription year on the web or phone),
      • Security Alerts,
      • Firmware/Software Updates, and
      • Online Training & Tools
  • XTM Security Suite is a renewable subscription.
  • Can use as a full blown firewall with VPN features and meet the various data protection regulations that exist.
  • Less expensive to purchase the XTM Security Suite bundled on the unit than to purchase the appliance only or appliance bundled with LiveSecurity and then add-on the security features individually that you want.
  • The XTM 23/23-W models ships with Fireware® XTM Pro operating system.
  • Can upgrade to the XTM 23/23-W by simply purchasing a license key. No need to trade-up to a new box. Keep the same box, apply the key and you move up the XTM 23/23-W with all the extra features and benefits associated that model. 
Con's for this use:
  • The only cons I can think of are the following . . .
    • You only need a VPN device to access the internet through corporate's firewall, or
    • You only need the wireless version to use as a wireless access point, or
    • You don't care about gateway security or meeting the various data protection regulations that may apply to your company
 

 
Option 4: Trade-up from an Older WatchGuard or Qualifying Competitor's Appliance
  
If you have an earlier model of WatchGaurd than the XTM Series or a qualifying competitive appliance, then you can trade up to a WatchGuard XTM firewall appliance.
 
Why trade up to an XTM Appliance?
 
The reasons why you want to trade up to an XTM model are very simple . . .
 
Increased Speed
 
With the use of multi-core processors it allows the appliance to handle all the processes that are being asked of it much quicker. This means a more efficient network and more productive employees and that leads to . . .
  
Increased Security
 
When it comes to processing potential threats, the faster an appliance can do so, the more threats it can process through its system, and the quicker it can shut those threats down and allow good things to pass through. That means your network is more secure and once again, provides a more efficient network and more productive employees because you lessen the likelihood that a threat will get through the system and thus causing disruption or even a shut down of the network. This increased security is also due to the . . .
 
 
Better Operating System
& New Security Features
 
The XTM line runs on the 11.x Operating System (O/S), an O/S that is much better that what the older units ran on. The highest O/S level any earlier models can rise up to is the 10.x. What's the difference? Besides some standard operating differences, the 11.x O/S allows the XTM line to take advantage of some new security features that are currently in play and others that will show up in the future that the Firebox e-Series, Firebox, and earlier models cannot take advantage of. The current new features are Reputation Enabled Defense, Application Control, and a more robust Intrusion Prevention Service.
  
   

 
Subscriptions, Upgrades, Add-ons, & Accessories
  
Subscriptions to LiveSecurity (1, 2, or 3-year options), XTM Security Suite (1, 2, or 3-year options), and the individual security features of the XTM Security suite (1-year options only) are available as add-on renewable subscriptions. All subscriptions purchased as part of a bundle with the XTM appliance are renewable also.
  
Upgrades Available:
  • Upgrade your XTM 21/21-W or XTM 22/22-W to the XTM 23/23-W through the purchase and application of a license key and gain all the features and benefits of the XTM 23/23-W model.
Add-ons such as Mobile VPN (IPsec) licenses allow you to increase your IPsec VPNs up to the maximum allowed for the XTM 23/23-W. You can purchase these in 5, 10, 20, or 55 packs for the XTM 23/23-W. The XTM 23/23-W comes with 5 Mobile VPN license and maxes out at 55.
