Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Some of the most valuable features are the ease of deployment, the Barracuda support, the easy-to-use console, and the granularity of the reports."
"It's very simple and predictable, because Barracuda provides a vision of the current state of your application. It gives you an understanding of what is happening on your site and any attempts against you at your source. This is the main value that Web Application Firewall provides our company. These aspects are also the main reason for this documentation process."
"The most valuable features are the client VPN and content filtering."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic content filtering."
"Our customers value the solution's simplicity."
"The installation is straightforward."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, especially if you enlist assistance."
"You don't need help from Barracuda to help with the deployment. The deployment is easy."
"The web application firewall which protects our services on the internet, and then of course services like our ability to provide high availability for the services we are offering are the most valuable features."
"The advantage of Citrix Web App and API Protection is just its graphic user interface for beginners. The solution is nothing special, but we have to use it for the corporation. Another advantage of Citrix Web App and API Protection is that we have our copy to test things and get the know-how of it."
"Citrix Web App API Protection allows you to enable a blocking mode"
"The work balancing applications are the most valuable feature."
"The stability is good. If there is a problem, the load will be shifted to other sites automatically, which has been a good experience for us."
"When our primary link goes down I can still get to my Cisco devices and the NetScaler devices on-prem because of the SDN solution. If the internet connection at one of the branches goes down, we can still route them, they still get internet based on the SDN solution through one of the other sites. They can carry on working."
"I prefer this solution because of its user-friendly interface. I find it simple and close to what I am currently using, which is Citrix Fortiva Access for Multi-Factor Authentication. I appreciate the familiar user interface and troubleshooting tools it offers."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"I would like to see an improved capacity to store logs so that they will be available for a longer time."
"The solution could use more reports."
"It would be better if their updates would be released annually."
"We encountered a few glitches while implementing API security features into the product."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"I would like to see a native multi-cloud cover."
"In the Barracuda Web Application Firewall, there should be more affordable options for WAF as a service."
"I would suggest that someone implementing this product is knowledgeable in the IT field, and with the network needs. It is complex."
"Security could be improved because then I can get rid of my Cisco firewalls. If they improve the security then I could run my security, my proxy, my firewalling and my SDN solution on one device instead of having to have multiple devices."
"The reporting is not so good. They don't have an application to connect the logs."
"I am not an expert in this solution, but simplicity and user-friendly interfaces are crucial for me. I would appreciate advice from Citrix, particularly in the form of an interactive guide for API protection. It would be helpful if they could provide specific points and recommendations for cybersecurity, indicating areas that need attention or improvement. I find such interactive guidance valuable."
"The configuration for its web application firewall is complicated."
"The user interface could be more friendly. Some wizards and other documentation for administrators, as well as some use cases, helps us to understand the solution."
"The product could be improved by making it easier to use and easier to implement."
"Their upgrades are not very backward compatible, and sometimes they mess up."
"Citrix Web App and API Protection could improve in the area of licensing"
