A complete budget firewall solution
What do you like best?
Barracuda firewall cloud gen provides a scalable and modular outside the mainly name in this product compound (Forti, Paloalto for example) without renounce on security and functional solution but with less budget needed
What do you dislike?
Segregation on profiles could be more granular, could be difficult to configure on big team with different position and mansion
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Whole firewalling (vpn, segregation on vlan, navigation on white list etc) without big budget
Bottom Line - It works!
What do you like best?
There is a tremendous amount of flexibility and options to tailor exactly what you need.
What do you dislike?
It takes a while to get used to the tree structure. But with a robust system, comes some complexity.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We have been able to tailor it to be more precise than our previous firewall. Although it is very precise, it still has a lot of flexibility.
A true shield against the dark.
What do you like best?
What I like most about Barracuda Firewalls is their adaptability in regards to the variety of ways they can protect a network from a threat, whether it be inside the network or targeting from some far corner of the world.
What do you dislike?
The only downside, really, is manually configuring nearly every setting. That said, once you become well versed in how to navigate, set up and operate the firewall rules, objects and aspects of the network(s) you're running, that downside becomes a strength.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I've helped contain an infection of WannaCry Ransomware, configure firewall rules to allow a multitude of different programs or functions to work properly while still shielding the network from threats and given our customers the means to remotely connect to their networks and securely access their shared folder systems in a safe and convenient way. I'm sure there will be a great deal more I'll realize in the future.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We're currently working on implementing Barracuda Sentinel in the field, in conjunction with Barracuda Cloudgen Firewalls but there are so many other devices and applications in the Barracuda world. I encourage you to head over to www.barracuda.com and have a look at what they can offer.

What needs improvement?
The usability for the administrator's experience needs improvement. My system administrator has some questions about its overall connectivity and flexibility.
I would like to see UI improvements in the next release.
For how long have I used the solution?
Less than one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is very stable, but I don't think we stress it to its capabilities.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability meets our needs. It should scale to our short term growth needs without a problem, as our environment is fairly small. We are a small to midsize business.
How is customer service and technical support?
The technical support is good.
How was the initial setup?
The AWS integration and configuration was easy to use and set up.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Purchasing through AWS Marketplace was good. We did it because it was easy.
It would be nice if the pricing and licensing offered for less.

Solid firewall

Definitely ease of use is what I like best. It has protected our company for years without any security issues.

None actually. Maybe a few minor issues navigating the GUI.

Benefits are saving us thousands by blocking potential threats.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great system that will handle all your spam filtering needs. Our Barracuda also uses the advanced licensing to scan and block email malicious attachments and links.
Barracuda Firewall F400 in Higher Ed
What do you like best?
The support is the best part about the Barracuda Firewall's and any Barracuda product for that matter. We have a few of their products and their support is the best in the industry. They by far go above and beyond.
What do you dislike?
I would like to see a full blown web management interface on the product.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
It has already caught quite a number of issues for us. The IPS has done a great job alerting us to when something suspicious is going on. This lets us be able to see things as they occur real time. It is also our means of controlling our bandwidth usage. We especially like the fact that we can shape traffic based on not just IP events, but also by applications using up all of our bandwidth.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go to their website and sign up for a free personalized webinar. Let then set you up with and online demo unit. They will also send you a unit to try on your site.
Easy way to keep users mostly safe
What do you like best?
It keeps our network users from picking up a lot of viruses and malware.before they get on their workstations which pretty much then requires that system must be wiped and restored.
What do you dislike?
A lot of our vendor's sites we must download firmware and much of them are blocked because they are in southeast Asia. It would be nice if there was a quick way to temporarily white-list a site or domain.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Computer viruses and malware
Love Barracuda
What do you like best?
It keeps spam out of my email. I don't like a cluttered email box and I love being about to block domains.
What do you dislike?
That we can't just push a button in Outlook any more. It is a pain to have to go to the Barracuda website to block emails.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Keeps my email uncluttered and lessens the chance I will click on a malevolent email link or download bad viruses.
