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."Enables us to define user application-level access, so our customers can work anytime from anywhere."
"One of the big benefits of the product is that it allows you to manage big environments with fewer resources."
"We use Barracuda NG Firewall as a border firewall. We trough it to control all in/out Internet traffic."
"Easy integration with some other systems like LDAP or Active Directory to manage other permissions and the division of external access and internal access."
"Good identity fire walling, malware protection and application control features."
"Inbound and outbound traffic analysis, rule creation wizard, and the GUI portal are among the key features."
"TINA (Transport Independent Network Architecture) VPN features - Allows automatic VPN configuration with little or no input from the tech. Drag and drop lines between Barracuda units and the VPN is built automatically."
"Its stability and SD-WAN features are the most valuable."
"The product has a dynamic VPN feature for SD-WAN."
"The granularity when it comes to configuration and security features are valuable."
"Our customers are very satisfied with this solution. They have not mentioned any areas for improvement."
"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."
"The flexibility is a great feature."
"There are great security and ops features without the need for having a different box for security."
"The division of Control Plane and Data Plane is most valuable. It can be deployed anywhere, and you can control it and configure it from anywhere. This is one of the good features of this solution."

"Technical support used to be at a very high level but it is now a bit less so."
"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."
"While using Barracuda CloudGen Firewall, we encounter issues with VPN profiles for Windows."
"The features are a bit limited compared to other vendors."
"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."
"We would like to see a solution that is focused on container deployment, which is very important right now."
"The administration UI could be better. It should also have better application detection policies."
"The price is a bit higher than other vendors."
"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 smaller units lack a lot of functionality."
"The web interface can be improved."
"With the pandemic and changing work models, it would be ideal if the product more accessibility options or more diversity within the solution itself."
"We are thinking about how to make customers consolidate the loads to an SD-WAN network so that the customers can have bigger chunk from the SD-WAN side so that customers can have critical data be transferred with NPS VPN and non-critical data or some labeled traffic can be transferred by the SD-WAN network. I think it's a very important direction for digital transformation."
"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."
"We've had the odd occasional stability issue with software upgrades."
"The solution lacks a mobile version where small, manageable platforms can be developed."
