We performed a comparison between Azure Firewall and Barracuda CloudGen Firewall based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We've found the solution to be pretty stable."
"The web tutor and automatic rules by schedule are good features."
"From the firewall perspective, the rules and policies are very sufficient and easy to use."
"Allows for firewall rules to be programmed and named in a way that makes it “readable”"
"Secure, user-friendly, stable, and scalable network security solution. Installation is straightforward."
"Web filtering and two-factor authentication are great features."
"I think that the UTM features are the most value, as it truly protects my infrastructure."
"The features that we have found most valuable are the SSL VPN and the User Portal."
"Azure Firewall's feature that I have found most valuable is its scalability."
"We use the solution for application and server deployment."
"The firewall policy control, URL content control, and antivirus are all the most valuable aspects. Threat prevention is as well quite good."
"The SIEM that Azure Firewall provides us is very robust."
"I like its order management feature. It doesn't have the kind of threat intelligence that Palo Alto has, but the order management makes it much simpler to know the difference."
"The most valuable feature is threat intelligence. It is based on filtering and can identify multiple threats."
"Great security and connectivity."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the control over the network permissions and the network."
"The antivirus protection or malware protection has been great."
"One of the big benefits of the product is that it allows you to manage big environments with fewer resources."
"The ability to be deployed and supported remotely is valuable."
"Live monitoring of what is happening inside and on the interfaces, either ingress or egress."
"Their GPS possibilities and the security that it has, especially the SD-WAN functionality, is very good."
"Single sign-on is also good. If you are accessing your corporate firewall from your home, during that time there is integration with AD. You can use your AD password to access your SSL VPN. It's not like if you buy an additional SSL VPN... You can directly integrate with your AD. If you change your password on the AD side, your client-to-VPN password also gets changed. You can integrate all your passwords from a single console. It's not like admin has to change your password, it's a single sign-on."
"One of the most important parts is, there is auto-upgrade of the hardware every fourth year."
"Inbound and outbound traffic analysis, rule creation wizard, and the GUI portal are among the key features."
"There is a lot of improvement needed with SSL-VPN."
"Backup can be improved."
"The solution can have more features in a single box that can be multi-applied to integrate everything."
"The routing capability on the FortiGate devices has room for improvement."
"It could use better throughput on some of the smaller boxes for the branch offices."
"It is stable, but its stability can be improved."
"I don't really have anything negative to say as far as Fortinet firewalls are concerned. If anything, they can support a user a little bit better. They can stop being so time-sensitive about how much time the support call has taken, and they can help you do it yourself."
"Security is a continuous process. In every product, there is a requirement for improvement. Its pricing should also be improved according to Indian market requirements. They must also improve on the reporting part. Its reporting can be more precise. If we can get a real-time report in a specific format, it will be helpful for customers to know about the current status of their security."
"The product could be made more customizable."
"The development area and QA area could be improved. With those improvements, we can improve projects and take even less time to implement them."
"This solution is not mature when it comes to handling perimeter traffic like internet browsing."
"For large organizations, a third-party firewall would be an added advantage, because it would have more advanced features, things that are not in Azure Firewall."
"It has fewer features than you can get from other firewalls, like anti-spam and anti-phishing. Those kinds of things are not included. It only includes IDS and IDB."
"It is a cloud service, but the lending speed for each region is not always the same. For example, in China, the speed is slow. They need to think about how to make sure that the service pace or speed is always the same in all regions. It would be a great improvement if they can provide the same pace worldwide."
"For larger enterprises, they need to adjust the scalability."
"The tool needs to improve the onboarding and transition process for on-prem users."
"The administration UI could be better. It should also have better application detection policies."
"They have a very complicated interface. It's very hard to learn."
"The features are a bit limited compared to other vendors."
"A rule for email announcements, when configured hits occur, would be a great improvement for a more efficient experience."
"Sometimes we have a need for detailed reports. Barracuda NG Firewall does not have a reports module and uses a satellite application."
"Can be underpowered if you choose to use all available add-on features. Just be careful when sizing your unit. Make sure you take into account what features you will be turning on, and work with your sales rep to get the model that can handle that load."
"Barracuda CloudGen Firewall should work a little bit more with the logs so that, in our company, we can generate a little bit more reports and get a bit more statistics, which would be fine for us."
"Command line could be more user friendly."
