It is already a complete product.

We've used this product since 2012.

No issues encountered.

Support is really great as we are a a diamond partner.

I used Cisco ASA before, but the Barracuda NG Firewall is better.

It can be complex, but also straightforward.

We are a managed service provider. So we setup a lot of boxes, and the implementation depends how complex the clients' network is.

Our primary use case of this solution is to provide services with a firewall to our clients. We mostly deploy internet gateways in their data centers.

We do not have this product installed in our environment.

The most valuable feature for us is the ability to offer firewall support to our clients.

We would like to see a solution that is focused on container deployment, which is very important right now. Clients are looking at those kinds of deployment more often, so it has become a center of focus.

This is a very stable solution. Once you have deployed it following the criteria, you almost never have to touch it.

The scalability depends on the deployment and it depends on the use case.

The installation is straightforward if you know what you are doing, but the vendor provides many resources for clients. It is up to the client and the provider to learn how to use the tool correctly.

The length of time for deployment depends on the use case and the client, but we have worked on deployments for between two and four months. That is the approximate timeframe.

In the Latin market, it tends to be a little expensive. However, it is our job to show the value of the solution so that the client can understand the return on investment.

In general, it tends to be cheaper than most solutions. I would say that it is cost effective.

We suggest to our clients that training is the first thing they should do after deployment. This is because it is very important that they know how to operate and maintain the product. It allows them to be self-sufficient when it comes to maintenance.

If you have sufficient knowledge then you can deploy and maintain the solution with no issues.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

The VPN feature.

The drag and drop features of VPN are really convenient to be configured. Additionally, the VPN tunnel provides a secure environment in the organization.

Nothing much except some little buggy issue sometimes, such as unable to login using the default login when out-of-box and will required factory reset once again.

About one year.

Nothing much except some buggy issues sometimes as mentioned above.

5/10.

7/10.

We switched as this is cheaper than our previous solution.

It is pretty straightforward for a basic configuration.

We also looked at Cisco ASA.

Request the assistance of experts when going for a deployment.

We use this firewall for application protection and SD-WAN gateway. It is deployed on-premises and in Azure.

Its stability and SD-WAN features are the most valuable.

The administration UI could be better. It should also have better application detection policies.

I have been using this solution for five years.

It is stable.

It is scalable.

It is superb. They are really good, and the support is above the industry standard.

It has a medium difficulty level. The deployment duration depends on the specific needs of the client.

We are an integrator, so we are deploying these machines for customers. We have four people for its deployment.

I would recommend this solution. We plan to continue using it. 

I would rate Barracuda CloudGen Firewall a nine out of ten.
