Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like its ability to identify known attacks, including DDOS attacks. It's valuable because software must be able to stop known attacks. Application attacks are evolving all the time. When it comes to software-as-a-service, we need to have software that knows about all the latest attacks. It should also protect against major unknown attacks.""The solution can be used for threat prevention or as a cloud-to-cloud backup system""It provides an ease of policy management.""The product's bot protection feature is valuable for our company.""The most valuable features of the solution are it is plug and play, has automated policies, a simple configuration, and is easy to create rules."

"The product’s most valuable is WAF. The authentication feature helps us protect WordPress sites."

Cons
"One significant area for improvement in Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service lies in its market positioning and pricing strategy.""We found it a bit slow when accessing it through the web browser. The URL also exposed the user name and the hashed password. When I log into my Barracuda WAF user portal, I could see the username and the hashed password on the URL itself. So, it is not very secure, and it is important to take that off.""The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""It's a very specific solution that is only requested for a customer's web code or their global IT policy.""The solution can improve by bundling Security Operation Center (SOC) with the WAF-as-a-Service, it would provide a lot more value to customers."
