Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."Our customers value the solution's simplicity."
"It's very simple and predictable, because Barracuda provides a vision of the current state of your application. It gives you an understanding of what is happening on your site and any attempts against you at your source. This is the main value that Web Application Firewall provides our company. These aspects are also the main reason for this documentation process."
"The solution offers multiple security features. There are machine learning features and great URL encryption. It also offers multi-protocol support against DDoS attacks."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic content filtering."
"We only need one subscription to be protected against both active DDoS and offline DDoS attacks."
"The solution is user-friendly and easy to set up."
"You don't need help from Barracuda to help with the deployment. The deployment is easy."
"The most valuable features are the client VPN and content filtering."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"I have found F5 more stable than Barracuda Web Application Firewall. They should improve the stability."
"The solution could use more reports."
"We get false positives about phishing emails."
"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."
"The policy updates could be improved."
"This product could easily progress to be among the industry leaders. I think they need to improve enterprise level automation. It integrates with a small number of vulnerability scanners, so report results should be imported manually; same for SIEM integration."
"I would like to see better controlling of the traffic."
"The documentation is lacking. It's not like what you'd get if you were using Juniper or Cisco. They need to expand on it and make it more useful."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."
