Secure mobile access has protected remote hospital staff and simplifies threat management

  • April 13, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

Barracuda Application Protection is primarily used for our mobile apps and remote users. We use the same secure gateway to protect the apps' integrity as well as the data going from the hospital campus to users remotely and in their homes.

A specific example of how Barracuda Application Protection helps with our mobile apps and remote users is the D level protection and its readiness to secure our data and network lines.

Being able to set as many rules as we like is a significant advantage for our main use case.

What is most valuable?

The best features Barracuda Application Protection offers include level protection, secure data on our network lines, building templates to ease use and make them our own, and the ability to work with how we do things.

Building templates to ease use is straightforward and customizable, making it easy to use.

Barracuda Application Protection has positively impacted my organization by increasing protection and securing our configuration networks.

Increased protection means providing threat protection, especially on emails that come from outside. Capturing potential spam and malware for emails from outside our network has been valuable.

What needs improvement?

Barracuda Application Protection can be improved by having more malware and intrusion solutions for sniffing more on the network and having the advanced ability to close off ports when they could be getting tested from hackers for intrusion.

I do not have additional feedback about the needed improvements, particularly around user experience or reporting features.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Barracuda Application Protection for four and a half years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Barracuda Application Protection is stable in my experience with no downtime or reliability issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Barracuda Application Protection is scalable and handles growth easily.

How are customer service and support?

The customer support is swift and perfect in my experience. I would rate the customer support nine out of ten.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I did not previously use a different solution.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a return on investment as it has been good in lessening threats from outside, with ease of use for our security team to be able to use templates and configure our threats. Being able to set as many rules as you like is a significant advantage.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was swift and easy.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing Barracuda Application Protection, I evaluated other options including Cisco Secure Access by Duo and Trend Micro Apex One.

What other advice do I have?

On a scale of one to ten, I rate Barracuda Application Protection nine out of ten.

I chose nine out of ten because it is lacking the advanced ability to close off ports since they can be used by hackers.

My advice to others looking into using Barracuda Application Protection is that it is easy to use, so I highly recommend them to consider.

My overall rating for Barracuda Application Protection is nine out of ten.

  • April 06, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Barracuda Application Protection has been for our mobile apps and for the remote users we have. I used this as the secure gateway to protect the app's integrity as well as the data going from hospital campus to the users remotely as well as one in-house.

A specific example of how Barracuda Application Protection is used to secure our mobile app is through security protection to several web applications hosted in AWS. I was looking to deploy a WAF out of the box with not too much maintenance, and one of the key elements was the WAF support for load balancing. I was also looking to distribute the load of web applications.

What is most valuable?

The best features Barracuda Application Protection offers are automated policies, identification of known attacks, and straightforward configurations.

The automated policies help me secure data applications for my clients. When I deployed WAF out of the box with not too much maintenance, I was able to automate policies and rules for my customers that prevent their data from being leaked or hacked.

Barracuda Application Protection has positively impacted my organization by helping me save time, as 60 to 70% of my time has been saved since it's easy and remotely reachable.

I measured that time savings by the task where I was able to reach my clients who are in remote areas, which enabled me to measure the time being saved and time being used when reaching those in remote areas.

What needs improvement?

Barracuda Application Protection can be improved by providing more innovative solutions for sniffing more on the network and having the advanced ability to close off ports when they could be getting tested by hackers for intrusion.

Security gateway has protected remote hospital apps and has enabled faster AWS web access

  • April 06, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Barracuda Application Protection is for mobile apps we use and for the remote users we have, using it as a secure gateway to protect app integration as well as the data going from the hospital campus to the users remotely, as well as the ones in-house.

A quick specific example of how I use Barracuda Application Protection in a real-world scenario is for security protection for several web applications hosted in AWS. We were looking to deploy a WAF out-of-the-box with not too much maintenance that would work right away. One of the key elements was the WAF support for the load balancers, as we were looking to distribute the load of the web applications.

What is most valuable?

The best features Barracuda Application Protection offers include client fingerprinting, bot identification, mitigation of false positives, and easy deployment in seconds.

Client fingerprinting has helped my organization in ways that ensure you cannot access a client's information without using fingerprints as the main element that we use to access the inside and all the information of a client.

Barracuda Application Protection has positively impacted my organization by helping us save time since it is easy to use. This has helped us tremendously since we no longer need to travel to remote areas, enabling us to reach those people in remote areas more efficiently.

We have saved our time by 40 to 65% with Barracuda Application Protection. The time we were using to travel to those remote areas to reach our clients has been saved since Barracuda Application Protection is helping in that sector, allowing us to save time and also witness some profit increase from those customers in remote areas.

What needs improvement?

Barracuda Application Protection can be improved by integrating more bot categories, including more mitigations in client-side integrity, and adding a feature where you can achieve out-of-the-box requirements, meaning the features that are not available can be included by writing code.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Barracuda Application Protection for four years and eleven months.

What other advice do I have?

On a scale of one to ten, I rate Barracuda Application Protection an eight out of ten.

I rate it an eight out of ten because the issue of client-side integrity needing more inclusion in mitigation techniques has hindered it from being a perfect ten, and I believe they should invest in that.

My advice to others looking into using Barracuda Application Protection is that it is good in providing threat protection, especially for emails that come in from the outside. Capturing potential spam and malware from emails from outside our network has been excellent, keeping us alert for anything coming in from the outside that could compromise our network. I recommend the simple Barracuda WAF as a service where an out-of-the-box standard policy can be applied, making this Barracuda WAF as a service perfect for a basic environment and protection, particularly if you already have other Barracuda infrastructure elements in your network.

Improved SOC visibility has blocked web attacks and supports faster investigations

  • April 06, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I work with Barracuda Application Protection as part of SOC monitoring and web application security, which helped me to detect and block web-based attacks such as SQL injection, suspicious requests, and abnormal traffic patterns from a SOC perspective. It also provides good visibility to the web attacks and helps with faster investigation. The pattern is stable and scalable, but I think the UI and fine-tuning policies can be improved overall.

In my current company, for one of the clients which we are using, Barracuda Application Protection was mainly used to protect the web applications and monitor incoming traffic from external sources. From our SOC perspective, I work on analyzing alerts related to suspicious HTTP requests, possible SQL injection, abnormal traffic spikes, and blocking malicious IPs. Whenever the alerts were triggered, we validated whether it was a real attack or a false positive and took appropriate action accordingly.

In one scenario, we observed multiple requests from a single IP that was targeting the login for our client endpoints with unusual parameters. We suspected and started an investigation. Then we saw that Barracuda Application Protection had detected this suspicious behavior and blocked the IP already. On the SOC side, what we did was verify the logs and confirmed it. We even assumed that it might be a brute-force or injection attempt. After that, what we suspected became true, and that helped me in preventing unauthorized access attempts and reducing investigation.

What is most valuable?

The best features of Barracuda Application Protection are that it has good visibility. Log usability is very good, and the support for investigation is also good. These are the main features. One of the best key features I have seen is that it mainly detects and blocks web-based attacks. As I previously mentioned, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and suspicious HTTP requests are detected in real-time.

The log visibility in Barracuda Application Protection is very useful from the SOC perspective. It provides detailed information such as the source IP address, the request type, what kind of request type was detected, the targeted URL, and the attack type. During investigations, these logs help to understand the pattern of the attack and the intention of the attack, and whether the activity is really malicious or normal activity. It also helps in identifying repeated attacks from the same IP and analyzing the traffic behavior. Overall, the logs make it easier to investigate web-based threats and correlate them with other security alerts in a SIEM solution. It gives detailed logs such as source IP, request details, and attack type, which help in quick investigation and identifying patterns.

Barracuda Application Protection is helping our current organization in a meaningful way by reducing web-based security incidents through blocking malicious traffic before it reaches the application and end-user machines. It improved visibility into the web attacks and made investigation easier for the SOC employees, especially since we could quickly identify suspicious IPs and attack patterns. It also reduces the manual effort since many attacks were automatically detected and blocked, allowing our SOC team to focus more on analysis rather than basic filtering.

What needs improvement?

I have one thing to share about the features. I did not observe any major stability issues. The platform works reliably during monitoring. If I want to tell what needs improvement, policy tuning requires effort. Policy fine-tuning because it requires a lot of effort and time from the employees, such as the senior SOC analyst. For us, it requires a lot of manual effort. Also, sometimes it gives a lot of false positives that also require manual effort. These two main things need improvement.

Another area for improvement is the visualization of the attack data. Barracuda Application Protection has better visualization of attack data, but it can make it even better. It should be very accessible because nowadays, employees from the data engineer team, the network team, or other departments should be able to easily understand it. I personally feel that is how the user interface should be for all applications. The current trending applications should be built with better UI and UX design for better visualization of the attack data. That would be very helpful for SOC analysts as well as other department employees and colleagues.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Barracuda Application Protection for the past one point two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I did not observe any stability issues with Barracuda Application Protection in the past.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Barracuda Application Protection is scalable and can even handle the traffic for multiple applications. It is a very good solution in the current market.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Cloudflare WAF is another tool I have seen. Cloudflare is also more user-friendly and has a strong CDN and DDoS capabilities, and it is easier to use. However, I would still go with Barracuda Application Protection.

What other advice do I have?

Barracuda Application Protection is a very fantastic tool and a very good solution, especially when talking about web application attacks, particularly from external attacks. Currently in the market, there are very few solutions, and few solution providers are there, but comparatively, they are the best. That is why I rate Barracuda Application Protection eight out of ten.

For example, in day-to-day work, I have observed a repeated request pattern from a particular IP that was targeting the login endpoints with unusual parameters that I noticed. Barracuda Application Protection already detected that suspicious activity and gave notifications on our SIEM solution as well. It even blocked that IP automatically on a temporary basis. We have set up and fine-tuned our SIEM solution so that if any such IPs are detected, they need to be blocked for one to two days because we are not sure about the IP's reputation. With fine-tuning, we have it set to block for two days. That is how we did it. That helped us quickly validate the alert, and we confirmed the potential attack and avoided further impact. It also reduces the manual effort, as many such threats have been handled automatically.

Barracuda Application Protection is a good solution for protecting the web application from external attacks. From my SOC perspective, it provides good visibility to the SOC analyst, and the logs it generates are very comprehensive. That helps us with the investigation and correlating all such logs to the SIEM solution and other things. In our organization, we have a public-facing application, so that is where I can tell this will provide the best benefit from this solution. Compared to other perspectives, Barracuda Application Protection is a very good one, and from my experience, I am really impressed with it. I would rate Barracuda Application Protection eight out of ten.
