It's a very specific solution that is only requested for a customer's web code or their global IT policy. For example, if a head office is using Barracuda, then they will make sure that the branch office is using the same.
The use case is very subjective. The solution covers a lot of major protection, or threat management functions in the feature itself. They do DDoS protection on our application. It is also for protocol support.
It is mainly used for application delivery. For example, we are able to do SSL authentication on the box itself. That was standard. They will free up all the resources on the server for the SSL authentication. It does the job quite well.
The solution can be used for threat prevention or as a cloud-to-cloud backup system. It's based on email protection.
It also has cloud security. It's mostly used as a web application firewall.
The solution is quite stable because Barracuda has domain expertise for that area.
I haven't had much experience with technical support. We offer the Level 1 tech support to end users.W hen there's a more heavy duty issue, then we will escalate to Level 2. That's how we escalate the matter, but we do it ourselves because we always have to mitigate the issue at Level 1.
It's pretty straightforward. It's all GUI based. Any certified engineer that has been certified by Barracuda can set up the box quite easily based on the requirements of the customer.
It's very difficult for me to give an estimate of the cost. All I know is that we sell the box itself as a service.
I would rate this solution 7 out of 10.
