Companies that use WatchGuard

Source: Analysis of Linkedin bios of 738 companies that use WatchGuard

I noticed that WatchGuard's typical customers are companies that provide essential services or products requiring reliable operations. These aren't flashy tech startups. They're IT service providers serving SMBs, construction companies building infrastructure, accounting and legal firms managing sensitive client data, municipalities running public services, manufacturers producing physical goods, and hospitality businesses. What connects them is that downtime or security breaches would directly harm their ability to serve customers or citizens.

These are established, stable businesses in their growth or mature phases. The employee counts typically range from 10 to 200 people, with many specifically noting decades of operation (founded in 1936, 1958, 1889). Very few show recent funding rounds or startup characteristics. Instead, I see references to ISO certifications, multiple office locations, and expanded service offerings over time. They're past survival mode but not massive enterprises. They're at the stage where professional IT infrastructure becomes critical but maintaining an internal security team is costly.
