Barracuda CloudGen Firewall Reviews

Our primary use case for this solution is data protection.

The features I find most valuable is the VPN and the fact that we can apply our policies to the program. 

I would like to see a more user-friendly dashboard and an easier interface. 

I am very satisfied with how stable the solution is.

The program is definitely scalable.

We used Linux software before for the firewall but in the end, we chose this solution because it seemed to be the best for our company.

I did the installation in cooperation with my consultant and the deployment took about six to seven hours. 

The program is not too expensive. We pay around 150 to 200 Euros per year and there are no additional costs.

My advice to others would be to get familiar with firewalls logic. My rating for this program is 9.5 out of ten. Not a ten because I would like better technical support and a better interface. 

The ease of use is very valuable, and Barracuda CloudGen Firewall is very responsive. When you make any changes, it works instantly. Additionally, they have a very responsive customer service and support team.

The UI can be improved because it looks very old and complicated.

We have been using the solution for approximately four years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have had a good experience with customer service and support.

The initial setup is a bit complex.

The solution is priced reasonably.

I rate the solution a seven out of ten. It could be priced similarly to competitors like Foritnet.

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.

• Firewall
• VPN protocol - TINA
• Antivirus
• URL filter
• Web filter

It is already a complete product.

We've used this product since 2012.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

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.

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.
