Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon, Microsoft, F5 and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."The stability of the solution is good. I don't think we've experienced bugs, crashes, or glitches."
"The stability of the product is good. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"If an attack is coming continuously, you can ask the device to block it temporarily for two to three minutes. F5 has not provided us with an option to block certain IPs for some time. Barracuda can help you block someone if the source is from a different IP. You can apply the rule to the device and block it for whatsoever time you want. The solution will unblock the IP after the prescribed time as well."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The installation is straightforward."
"Parameter Protection is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the client VPN and content filtering."
"It significantly improved our overall web security posture, addressing intrusions and enhancing control over web URLs in our environment."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"The GUI needs to be improved because it sometimes hangs and needs to be restarted."
"This product could easily progress to be among the industry leaders. I think they need to improve enterprise level automation. It integrates with a small number of vulnerability scanners, so report results should be imported manually; same for SIEM integration."
"One of Barracuda's limitations is its user interface. The GUI for configuration is not intuitive and has remained largely unchanged for the past 10 to 12 years."
"I would like to see better controlling of the traffic."
"The usability of the interface could be improved."
"There are issues when upgrading firewalls and we experience different issues across customers."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"I have issues with the load balancing of the solution which is slow. The connection pooling in Barracuda also doesn't work. There is an issue when someone needs access to a site quickly. The issue is with HTTPS services. I am not sure if they have changed all these in the solution’s latest version."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."
