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."The most valuable feature of this solution is the simplicity of configuration."
"Barracuda Web Application Firewall provides optimized performance, a user-friendly environment, helpful dashboards, and is simple to use."
"The solution is user-friendly and easy to set up."
"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."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The stability of the product is good. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The volumetric DDoS defense is very good because I had a problem with a lot of volumetric DDoS attacks on my servers. After using Barracuda, those attacks have stopped and all the traffic is going smoothly to my servers and the system is working really well."
"The solution ensures layer seven is secure from attacks."
"The best features are the security through the web application firewall, the functionality that the solution offers, being a load balancer with the security functionality on top of it, and the ease of administration."
"The features that mitigate attacks are very valuable."
"I like the ADC feature and the global certificate feature."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"Security is one of the most valuable features that I like. It is easy to use and easy to configure."
"I am finding SSL-TLS acceleration the most valuable function, with certificate management. It is easy to generate certificates and assign them to services"
"The command line interface is simple and very user-friendly."
"I found the link load balancer and server load balancer are the most valuable."
"It would be better if their updates would be released annually."
"We encountered a few glitches while implementing API security features into the product."
"There are issues when upgrading firewalls and we experience different issues across customers."
"The usability of the interface could be improved."
"It is not stable nor mature."
"The reporting aspect of the solution needs improvement. I don't find that it's very good. They could do some work on it to make it much better. It's not that the reporting isn't secure. It's just that I would prefer to store my reports for an extended period of time. Right now, that's not possible and I'd prefer it if that could change. I also would say that the reports themselves are expensive."
"I think the main area for improvement in this product is learning it, as can be seen when comparing it to the F5 web application firewall. F5 has a very powerful learning phase when you start using your web application firewall against your site. Barracuda has something like this, but not with the same functionality from my point of view."
"As most people are aware, the implementation is not easy."
"Support is very important because if we get good support, we'll be able to sell and supply more numbers."
"The interface implementation can be improved."
"We are in the process of updating our version of the solution, so judging what should be improved is difficult. But in some cases, the visualization takes a while, especially for mapping issues."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
"I would like to see future enhancements in security, specifically in threat protection."
"The solution could be more robust."
"I would like for the load balancing to work with premier and the cloud, a mix of premium and cloud."
"The reverse proxy piece is a little bit complicated. If the reverse proxy were easier to implement, that would help."
