The solution helps users with quick web filtering through the DNS portal. It allows them to filter, block, or restrict specific websites or URL paths. Also, it enables blocking a few users on Facebook and allowing particular users. They can access activity logs based on user, domain, categories, and locations to identify suspicious activity around the system.

Its reporting feature is easy to use, interactive, and multi-layered. The users can generate reports based on web activity and usage in terms of time. Also, it has in-built alerts to communicate in case of any issues. In addition, it integrates with many solutions, including Barracuda Firewall and Barracuda Email Security, etc.

A good example would be that we needed anti malware and content filtering along with bandwidth management, the Barracuda solution helped me to consolidate this and optimize our network. We also found that with the granular control we could block things strategically and allow administrators to optimize our bandwidth usage. The Barracuda solution has improved the way we function by consolidating threat management and network optimization in one standalone appliance.

It's the ease of use in either blocking or whitelisting a web address. That is the plus.
