We performed a comparison between Barracuda CloudGen Firewall and Versa Unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is stable."
"One of the most important parts is, there is auto-upgrade of the hardware every fourth year."
"Ability to manage multiple firewalls."
"Enables us to define user application-level access, so our customers can work anytime from anywhere."
"What I like best about this product are the support and the features."
"Inbound and outbound traffic analysis, rule creation wizard, and the GUI portal are among the key features."
"Scalability is good; the company wants to be able to handle large customers."
"When you are sending information to an external email address, Barracuda can warn you when you are trying to access a private or personal email, or trying to upload information and not allow you to do that."
"Their dashboard is also a good point for us and the customer. The solution is very clean and easy."
"The necessary enhancement pertains to the controller segment, specifically addressing the issue of frequent flapping when a link is left. In the case of Versa Unified, if a link experiences frequent flapping within an entire branch, it triggers instability. Hence, it is imperative that the overall routing system is not contingent solely upon the active dial branches."
"It is very easy to deploy. The GUI interface is really good, and the security features are also very good. It is also stable and scalable, and their support is also good."
"Versa is a good centralized solution, where you're setting up your infrastructure in a data center type thing."
"The granularity when it comes to configuration and security features are valuable."
"I like all the features. We utilize different LAN, bandwidth transferring, bandwidth balancing, and mappings. We use it as a centralized solution, and use the same product at all our locations."
"Our customers are very satisfied with this solution. They have not mentioned any areas for improvement."
"The flexibility is a great feature."

"To start working with spam, it takes a while because the product has to see that multiple emails are coming in with all the spam. If it could reduce that amount of time, then we would reduce the amount of users who are receiving spam."
"Technical support used to be at a very high level but it is now a bit less so."
"It would be better if they had a trace and trap feature. It's hard for me to say anything bad about Barracuda. This is because we had a firewall go down in the town of Kirkland Lake, and it was a blown-out port, and they had an instant replacement."
"Its interface could be better."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly dashboard and an easier interface."
"The biggest downside is that it is quite an expensive product."
"The biggest issue that I have with this solution is that it is not super intuitive. Once you know what to do, things make sense, but you can't just open the program and start doing things. It would be great if there was a little bit more guided usage inside the program."
"The price is a bit higher than other vendors."
"SASE is the next big thing that is coming up, and it needs to be developed in Versa. This is the only thing that needs to be adapted very quickly by Versa. With the pandemic going on, I would like to see more features for working from home. They have launched Versa Secure Access (VSA), but it is currently immature. They need to tighten it up for work from home and SD-WAN concept."
"The stability of FlexVNF's controller and devices could be improved."
"The smaller units lack a lot of functionality."
"Future releases should contain AI for the voice feature."
"The interface could be simpler."
"There are limitations when you connect from multiple locations. It does not work as expected. If you have more than 400 users, then it will choke. It will not perform as expected."
"The VPN feature is relatively new. It came out two releases ago, and they're still fixing that up."
"The solution's current customer support is not that good. So, they need to improve that. Also, the solution's UI is quite complex, so they need to simplify it."
