My company had faced some downtime or an outage twice with Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service due to backend problems. The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. I don't know much about what additional features are required in the product's future releases since I think it has almost all users. One feature I want in the solution stems from the fact that there are almost 17 applications protected in our company with the help of Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service. If I need to block one IP address for all 17 applications together, it is not possible, and I need to block the IP address on each application separately, making it a time-consuming process. It would be great if the product allows users to block an IP address for all the applications in an environment in one go rather than having to block the IP address separately for each application.

The initial setup was straightforward and took us less than four hours to install and deploy. Our environment is in AWS, and they had the package installed and available in the AWS marketplace. We discussed the throughput of our website and what would be the appropriate appliance and the instance that we would need to implement to download the software package. It is like a multilayer website view, but we had only one entry point for the internet traffic. Just one instance of WAF was enough at that time, but we will be extending it to two availability zones. We don't have to do maintenance because the signatures get updated periodically, and Barracuda does all the upgrades for us. We could look for support from the customer team to manage those maintenance activities.
