I've worked with many other vendors. Currently, we also use WatchGuard firewall and systems for protection. But I've also worked with vendors from various regions. For the WAF (Web Application Firewall).

Before choosing Barracuda we evaluated WatchGuard.

There are dedicated web application firewalls like Imperva that allow for enterprise level firewall web apps. The main competitors are FortiWeb and Cloudflare. 

We have to migrate to another vendor because the solution no longer supports issues with the stack hub. 

We are a partner with Barracuda so recommend the application firewall to our customers but we now have thirteen customers who use Azure stack hub and cannot receive support. We communicated this issue with Barracuda's Middle East management and they suggested using a container as a service. We tried this in our lab but had issues with the installation which we finally resolved. We have some concerns about data being exposed because it is in the cloud. Our customers are administrators and will not accept their data being exposed. 

We would rather work with Barracuda because we have experience with their application firewalls and that makes it easier to support customers. We will have to go to another vendor and take classes to become experts. 

We chose Barracuda because in our case it was cheaper.

F5, Imperva and RedBear are the main competitors of Barracuda in our area.

I do not know if they possess certain features which Barracuda Web Application Firewall lacks. I would have to check. 

We compared the solution to Imperva because of the support. Support is important to us.

Fortinet, but BWAF was much better.

We did not evaluate other options before choosing this solution.

I have evaluated other solutions.
