The most valuable features are Barracuda's policies for filtering various websites according to the organization's policies and blocking traffic for any P2P application like torrents. We discourage torrents, though a lot of people want to use them. The torrent application doesn't require any admin privileges. You can run it on your system. Barracuda is good at blocking torrent activity.

The solution has the best pricing. It costs considerably less than Cisco Umbrella and many other popular solutions like Palo Alto. Also, working with Barracuda suppliers helps significantly. They allow extending the trial period to 60 days from 20 days. You can request an extension from your representative to showcase all the blocked phishing attempts and the flagged websites. It allows you to generate comprehensive reports for your management team to review. In addition, it has intuitive features for DNS and URL filtering.

I like that it does a lot of malicious content and is easy to manage. There are a lot of checkboxes, and you can add your own URLs or get it preconfigured.

I would have to say for the Web Filter, the best features for me are the application control, content filtering and the ease of use configurations. This helped because we needed to use of all of these in order to provide a secure solution against application threats and web content threats and we could configure the appliance to do this easily.

We needed a simple, cost-effective Web-filtering product that invokes our Internet Usage Policy. The Active Directory (AD) Integration capability of Barracuda Web filter gave us the flexibility to customize the web filtering specific to various groups of users at the AD level. The ease of setup and centralized management served the purpose. Unlike other products like Websense, this has no per user fee but only an annual subscription fee which is much lower.
