So there are a lot of features but we use only five percent of it.""The DNS Load Balancer makes it so that I don't have to worry about site failures.""The most valuable features are synchronizing email with mobile devices and synchronizing with Outlook.""The user interface is very easy to work with."

Cons
"Load Balancer ADC is competitively priced, but it's not feature-rich, and its technology is not that advanced.""The quality of the solution's performance could be improved."

More Barracuda Load Balancer ADC Cons →

"I definitely think that the WAF can be improved.""Certificate installations could be simplified and modernized, and allowed to be monitored for expirations/issues.""It would be very helpful to get all the http/https session logs by default in the log monitor without activating debugging mode like an apache web sever natively does""To make it a perfect ten out of ten it would need better connection logging. If there is an active connection, that there is better logging. It should also have better management monitoring tools.""The GUI is rather technical and complex, so it could be improved by making it simpler and more user-friendly.""If there is anything that needs to be updated, the GUI can get a refresh to make it look more like 2020, although it is just a cosmetic change.""It would be nice if the historical metrics were easily exportable from the interface.""UI is very basic and unattractive."
