Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."One of the most valuable features of this solution is the server load balancing. Something that sets this solution apart from other products is that the hardware has a much higher capacity than other vendors. That's the edge of Array Networks. Their technical support services are also very good."
"Has a good dashboard."
"We use Barracuda to protect the application. That's the main feature we use it for."
"It significantly improved our overall web security posture, addressing intrusions and enhancing control over web URLs in our environment."
"It allows us to scale out to multiple phase servers."
"What I like most about Barracuda Web Application Firewall is its availability. I also like that it's an easy-to-use solution."
"Some of the most valuable features are the ease of deployment, the Barracuda support, the easy-to-use console, and the granularity of the reports."
"One of the strongest points is its robust issue discovery capabilities. Barracuda invests significant efforts in identifying and resolving issues. They have multiple products that work in tandem to perform these checks, which is beneficial because it automates security updates. This is the primary reason I recommend it to my customers."
"The stability of the solution is good. I don't think we've experienced bugs, crashes, or glitches."
"I would like to see more granular reporting and monitoring features, and I believe our clients want to see them as well. Also, SD-WAN would be a good addition."
"Its interface can be better. It is not very friendly."
"One of Barracuda's limitations is its user interface. The GUI for configuration is not intuitive and has remained largely unchanged for the past 10 to 12 years."
"It is not stable nor mature."
"The solution could use more reports."
"An area for improvement in Barracuda Web Application Firewall is attack identification. Other banks identified attacks and tracked logs that the solution wasn't able to identify because of its ready-made rules pre-deployed by the vendor. My organization raised this issue with the technical support team. Another area to improve in Barracuda Web Application Firewall is its service desk. The team resorted to stonewalling because they couldn't accept that a feature was missing in the solution, and it was only after a lot of drilling down that the service desk team accepted that, and would be adding that feature in the future. My organization had to submit a report to the Reserve Bank of India with information on the logs identified and the attacks that happened, and that there was a failure on the part of the Barracuda Web Application Firewall. The Reserve Bank of India conducts a tri-monthly cyber risk audit in all Indian banks. Even smaller banks identified and caught attacks that my organization wasn't able to do, so I was looking into other solutions that competitor banks could be using because Barracuda Web Application Firewall failed to identify some of the attacks."
"Barracuda Web Application Firewall's load balancing feature could be improved."
"I would like to see an improved capacity to store logs so that they will be available for a longer time."
"If you know nothing about networks, then you can't set it up."
