Find out what your peers are saying about TitanHQ, Forcepoint, Barracuda Networks and others in Web Content Filtering."The ease of use. It's pretty easy to use and navigate the UI... to either block or whitelist a web address."
"It is straightforward to deploy and manage."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is very simple to use and implement."
"The support is fantastic."
"I have found the most valuable the ability to have insight into our web traffic and control its flow."
"It has a nice graphic interface and it is easy to find information about effectively using the product because of the large user-base."
"We think it's a good solution for cloud security, where one has hybrid cloud. They have different cloud solutions like a Office 365 or Azure or Amazon. This is a good solution to control all the different cloud solutions you have in your family of hybrid clouds, from one panel. This is what the main feature we look for."
"I like the traffic monitoring because it meets the firewall protocols."
"This solution is substantially more expensive than the competitors out there, including Titan HQ or Limecast."
"Considering other tier-one applications, like Next-Generation Firewall, they also have web security in-built within their appliances or applications. Barracuda is still lagging behind in features like that, so they need to update if they want to be in the top spot."
"Barracuda products are cheap."
"The solution’s customer support should be improved."
"It doesn't allow adding DNS filtering for off-site clients."
"The price could be better."
"Our problem is that it's a virtual appliance and we're moving to a new platform and, for whatever reason, we can't move it as it is... When we were migrating our virtual machines from the old to the new system, we determined rather quickly that it wouldn't migrate over."
"Considering other tier-one applications, like Next-Generation Firewall, they also have web security in-built within their appliances or applications. Barracuda is still lagging behind in features like that, so they need to update if they want to be in the top spot."
"Sometimes when using high availability, the second firewall does not come up immediately if the first one goes down."
"It should be set up more specifically so that I only pay for what I want."
"However, we would like them to add more integrations. We would appreciate a more open solution. They're quite good when you have the entire Fortinet ecosystem, but otherwise it's not as good of a solution."
