Barracuda Web Application Firewall Reviews

We use Barracuda for all the cloud applications in Azure. 

We use Barracuda to protect the application. That's the main feature we use it for. 

Sometimes when we put it in action, we have some blogs that appear as false positives. I think that it's improving. Barracuda should minimize false positives. 

They should make it easier to learn how to use applications. 

I have been using Barracuda Web Application for five years. 

The stability is okay. We haven't had any issues with stability. 

We don't really scale it. We have around 500 users. 

We don't have issues with support. I had an issue with the console where I could not access the console from the inside network. When I accessed it from the inside network, they kicked me. I opened the case with support, we checked the perimeter firewall, and we tried to fix the problem, but it's still the problem.

Support wants me to check the firewall. I checked the administrator for the perimeter firewall and put all the rules for the communication but they told me to upgrade the version. I did and the problem still persisted.

I would rate their support an eight out of ten. 

We had a partner who did the installation. 

I would rate Barracuda an eight out of ten.

We use it for website and web service protection.

Its recommendation about the probabilities on the website is great. It also has free probability managers for the website, which is really helpful. 

The protection engine, signature-based protection behavior, and analysis features are also great. It also has an ATP module for sandbox scanning and behavior analysis for file uploads.

Its interface can be better. It is not very friendly.

I have been working with this solution for three years.

They provide great support with a fast response.

The initial setup was straightforward. It took us a day to deploy this solution.

I would rate Barracuda Web Application Firewall a nine out of ten.

On-premises

Our clients are using the solution for internal banking software and website protection.

Barracuda Web Application Firewall provides optimized performance, a user-friendly environment, helpful dashboards, and is simple to use.

I have been using this solution for approximately three years.

The solution has been stable in our experience.

We have four clients using the solution.

The technical support is very good. They were responsive and provide one of the best support in the market. They will assist you with any issues you might be facing.

The installation was straightforward.

The price of the solution is a little expensive. There is a license for this solution and it can be purchased every one, two, or five years.

I have evaluated other solutions.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Barracuda Web Application Firewall an eight out of ten.

On-premises

Our primary use case was to track the traffic on websites or webshops to identify potential malicious actors, such as bots. This involved analyzing the type of data being collected through websites to detect possible DDoS attacks.

The most valuable feature of Barracuda Web Application Firewall is managing bot traffic. During a presentation by Barracuda, it was demonstrated that the traffic on Coolblue, a Dutch platform similar to Amazon, was significantly reduced with Barracuda's intervention. Half of the traffic was identified as bots searching for the cheapest price. This traffic analysis and bot management were used as unique selling points for other customers.

Barracuda Web Application Firewall lacks some of the more specified and structured features offered by solutions like Tenable. Although Tenable is more expensive and less easily deployable, its features are more deepened and chiseled, particularly for IT personnel. For example, Tenable provides more comprehensive dark web scanning capabilities, which Barracuda could improve upon.

I have used Barracuda Web Application Firewall for approximately three years but have not worked with it in the past year.

The deployment process was straightforward. Initially, it took about two and a half hours due to some internal setup configuration mistakes. However, after understanding the deployment steps, it was done in about one hour without further guidance.

I would rate the stability of Barracuda Web Application Firewall as seven and a half, possibly an eight.

I believe Barracuda Web Application Firewall is quite scalable, and I would rate it as an eight.

The customer service and support are exceptional, and I would give them a ten out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup was very easy. For someone unfamiliar with IT, Barracuda Campus provides excellent resources and guidance, making it accessible even to those not specialized in IT.

Tenable was evaluated as an alternative solution.

For those new to cybersecurity, Barracuda Web Application Firewall offers an affordable and easy-to-deploy solution. Its accessible nature makes it a great choice for mid-segment use. The shift towards cybersecurity awareness has created a growing market, and Barracuda fits well with this trend with its non-technical usability and corresponding price point. I would rate the overall solution as eight out of ten.
