NETGEAR Business Security Products Raise Industry Bar with Three Consecutive Five-Star Perfect Review Scores
“We conducted a comprehensive review of all-in-one network unified threat
management systems and ultimately chose to deploy the NETGEAR ProSecure UTM25
to protect not only our business, but also our customers while they are in our
showroom,” said Patrick Wergin, vice president at Gateway Subaru. “Gateway
Subaru depends on the UTM25 on a daily basis to stop threats, and we agree with
SC Magazine UK that the UTM25 provides a powerful partnership of antivirus,
anti-spam, and web filtering in a high performance package.”
ProSecure Five Star Reviews, Three In A Row By SC Magazine
In the latest review, SC Magazine US technology editor Peter Stephenson gave
the ProSecure UTM25 five stars in six categories along with the only
“recommended” logo among the group of 11 different vendors including SonicWALL,
Fortinet and Check Point. He praised the UTM25 for its simple and
straightforward deployment and configuration and deemed the appliance to be
“excellent value for the money by providing solid protection for just about any
environment without breaking the bank.” The full review can be viewed here.
In a stand-alone product test of the UTM25, SC Magazine UK’s Dave Mitchell
awarded five stars across all six categories and observed that the UTM range
consistently delivers plug and play protection at lower costs. He claimed that
smaller businesses requiring a low-cost solution that's easy to deploy and
manage will see the UTM25 deliver on all counts. The full review can be viewed here.
In April, NETGEAR’s ProSecure STM600 received a perfect score in SC Magazine US for a
competitive review of anti-malware gateways. The STM600 was the only appliance
to be rated as "Recommended" in the group of products from ten
different vendors including Barracuda, McAfee and Trend Micro. The STM600 was
specifically praised by technology editor Peter Stephenson for its
"comprehensive web and email protection that is easy to deploy and
use." The full review can be viewed here.
“This is a great testament to NETGEAR’s commitment in helping businesses
achieve optimum network security at affordable prices," said Jason Leung,
senior product line manager for SMB Security. “The five-star rating across all
evaluation categories and the recognition as the only company receiving
“recommended” logo business security product, demonstrates the strength and
validity of NETGEAR security appliances among well-established competing
security vendors in the market.”
Ryan Parker, managing director, Australia and New Zealand said the awards
cemented NETGEAR’s claim that its ProSecure range of UTM and STM security
appliances offer easy deployment, configuration and ongoing management, all key
advantages over competitive vendors.
“These awards will provide our reseller partners with even stronger proof
points when promoting our products. We have a strong partner program and are
continuously looking for more partners who can benefit from the recurrent
revenue stream that our ProSecure UTM and STM products offer,” said
Parker.
