SSL VPN

What do you dislike about the product?
N/A - I don't have anything negative to say...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allowing are remote users to connect up to us.
Rock solid hardware appliance that has protected us very well
What do you like best about the product?
Firewalls work well as an eco system so you can control multiple devices from a single control centre. It offers a single pane of glass interface. Spinning up a new firewall became quite easy. Customer support was very responsive. We have been using multiple CloudGen Firewalls for a while now and have found that they very easily adapted themselves to the change from a virtual CoVid world to our new Live/Hybrid event environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user GUI while very powerful is very clunky and not intuitive. Drastic changes in the workflow and operational mechanisms need to be done to make the learning curve much easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we were able to manage failover scenarios from our multiple ISP solutions and customize them based on the source of the traffic.
Easy to install platform with valuable policy management features
What is our primary use case?
What needs improvement?
One significant area for improvement in Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service lies in its market positioning and pricing strategy. Additionally, it could operate in a local data center. This limitation hinders its adoption in regions with strict data regulations.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the platform’s stability an eight and a half out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the platform’s scalability an eight out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support services could be faster and more professional.
How was the initial setup?
Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service is easy to install and maintain. However, it is granular and might be complicated for multiple applications. The deployment time depends on the specific application and the complexity of the number of domains.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product is expensive but it offers flexible pricing. It could be affordable.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Barracuda utilizes Azure CDN instead of having its proprietary CDN, which may be considered a limitation when compared to competitors like Imperva's Incapsula. However, we decided to go for Barracuda for better pricing and the simplicity of basic functionality, especially for medium-sized clients who may prioritize these aspects over advanced features.
What other advice do I have?
Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service excels in threat detection and mitigation, with features including robust bot mitigation in combination with Microsoft CDN, and the effectiveness of its Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) service. It provides an ease of policy management.
I rate it a nine out of ten.
Very satisfied
What do you like best about the product?
Available onpremise and Cloud environments with centrale management from Control center. It was 10 year one of the first with integration in Azure.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the way that we use the firewall we have not found a dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centrale solution for the hybrid environment
We have been working with the firewall for years
What do you like best about the product?
More than 8 years ago the task was to replace a shared infrastructure consisting of several firewalls and network accesses, some of which were simple devices without next-gen functions or modern ones such as ATP, botnet protection, etc. Since I had only just started the position, I was familiar with the entire structure and data streams completely unknown. Unfortunately, my predecessors didn't do a particularly good job in terms of documentation. The observation mode made it easy to analyze the current data stream and plan initial optimizations and detect weak points and security gaps. This made it possible to build in parallel and switch directly. Afterwards, all deficiencies could be eliminated in small steps. Despite the many firmware updates with some architectural changes over the many years, the basic operation has not changed and updates were possible without support except once (an old configured network was not removed correctly). Changing the hardware was extremely easy, just import a backup of the old one, wire everything up and off we went. Otherwise, daily operations are very quiet and give me a lot of freedom for other tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
he configuration software is only available for Windows. Some firewalls offer Wireguard support, which is still missing here, as this is the only solution available, especially for smaller third-party companies that we connect with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Except for a second firewall (for UCM), it is the only authenticator, access point, network protection and router we have. The configuration is logical and easy after a short training period. This creates more time for other activities.
