Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."This product gives us visibility into what is going on in two servers, including connections and sessions, real-time alerts, very good reporting, and KPIs. It makes managing security of a critical server very easy, with a friendly GUI."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic content filtering."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, especially if you enlist assistance."
"The updating and signature features are my primary use case for the solution. These features are beneficial to my organization."
"The product has fantastic support services."
"We only need one subscription to be protected against both active DDoS and offline DDoS attacks."
"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 solution has been quite stable. It's reliable."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"They could improve their performance, support, and their upgrades. Their updates used to be good. Their improvements were right on the money but nowadays, the updates are minor."
"Sometimes when we put it in action, we have some blogs that appear as false positives. I think that it's improving. Barracuda should minimize false positives."
"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 think the main area for improvement in this product is learning it, as can be seen when comparing it to the F5 web application firewall. F5 has a very powerful learning phase when you start using your web application firewall against your site. Barracuda has something like this, but not with the same functionality from my point of view."
"The policy updates could be improved."
"In the Barracuda Web Application Firewall, there should be more affordable options for WAF as a service."
"There are issues when upgrading firewalls and we experience different issues across customers."
"I would like to see a native multi-cloud cover."
"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."
