Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet and others in Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)."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."
"We use Barracuda NG Firewall as a border firewall. We trough it to control all in/out Internet traffic."
"One of the most important parts is, there is auto-upgrade of the hardware every fourth year."
"Single device, multiple functions - I do not need to purchase a web application firewall, a proxy server, a VPN device and so many others because these are all built in to this one device."
"It's great for handling complex items."
"Its stability and SD-WAN features are the most valuable."
"The most valuable features are SD-WAN, URL filtering, IPS, and virus scanning."
"The antivirus protection or malware protection has been great."
"The solution is completely integrated with all the other Palo Alto products. I think that it is the best part for endpoint protection. The firewall features include URL and DNS filtering, threat protection, and antivirus."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"Installing this product as a datacenter firewall for segregation and segmentation, and also configuring policies between zones has improved my organization."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"The most valuable features of Palo Alto Networks WildFire are the good URL and file analysis that uses artificial intelligence. It has different interfaces, such as rest, SMTP protocol, and HTTPS. The Security incidents and event management are very good. Additionally, there are many file types that are supported and there is no limit to the number of files it can handle simultaneously. It integrates well with SIEM solutions."
"The most valuable features of this solution are sandbox capabilities."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The analytics are weak."
"We would like to see a solution that is focused on container deployment, which is very important right now."
"It's a little bit complex in terms of handling. If you implement a change, there is a specific point where you have to commit it. It's not like you just push a button and it's always committed. If you don't know to check whether your commit command has been executed or not... that is something Barracuda needs to work on."
"The price is a bit higher than other vendors."
"There is room for improvement in performance and the support language. The support they're providing right now is from a different country, and in our country, there are people—network admins and IT heads—who don't speak English properly. So Barracuda needs to provide support agents who speak additional languages, such as Bangla."
"If you have another brand of VPN where you have to put an SSL VPN between two devices, Barracuda doesn't support that at a certain point. You can't actually build the VPN between Barracuda and a different device of a different brand."
"When you login from some sources, there is no feature in this box which can log you out after a certain timeout."
"The interface should be more user-friendly and it should be easier to configure."
"High availability features are lacking."
"I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"The threat intelligence that we receiving in the reporting was not as expected. We were expecting more. Additionally, we should be able to whitelist a specific file based on a variety of attributes."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The deployment model could be better."
