WatchGuard has once again earned a prestigious 5-Star rating in CRN’s annual Partner Program Guide! This yearly guide is the definitive listing of the most rewarding partner programs from technology companies that provide products and services through the IT channel. Awarded to an elite group of companies that offer solution providers the best of the best in their partner programs, a new 5-star rating for 2020 comes from WatchGuard’s unrelenting commitment to the channel and further distinguishes its award-winning WatchGuardONE partner program.

The Channel Company’s research team analyzed each vendor’s partner program to determine the 2020 5-Star ratings. The team scored each program based on several factors, including investments in program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support, and communication. Based on that assessment, WatchGuard stands among the elite technology suppliers in the IT channel, providing maximum value and support for solution providers.

“With the speed and complexity of technology today, solution providers need partners that can keep pace and support their growing business,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “CRN’s Partner Program Guide features insight into the strengths and benefits of each company’s program to identify those that truly support and drive positive change within the IT channel.”

CRN’s complete 2020 Partner Program Guide is published online and will be featured in the April issue of its print magazine. Keep an eye on Secplicity for the latest on WatchGuard’s channel awards and industry recognition.
