We performed a comparison between Barracuda CloudGen Firewall and Cisco SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Enables us to define user application-level access, so our customers can work anytime from anywhere."
"The ability to be deployed and supported remotely is valuable."
"Inbound and outbound traffic analysis, rule creation wizard, and the GUI portal are among the key features."
"I wanted to go to a software-defined WAN and in Barracuda they have a specific protocol called TINA (Transport Independent Network Architecture). You can create a master policy over the internet and it allows you to do Quality of Services on top of it. That is really helpful for me."
"Its ability to block incoming attacks is valuable. Its logging, traffic monitoring, and VPN capabilities are also valuable."
"Their GPS possibilities and the security that it has, especially the SD-WAN functionality, is very good."
"One of the big benefits of the product is that it allows you to manage big environments with fewer resources."
"Its central management, especially when it comes to distributed environments, is great. I can generate and save a setting and then apply that setting across the network with just one click."
"Using SD-WAN to combine services can result in better up time, higher speeds, and much lower costs."
"It is very simple and easy to manage, compared to other methods."
"The product helps to aggregate network links. The tool increases security and makes it possible for you to have remote workers."
"The integration of Layer 3 and application routing is great."
"The product's brand recognition is one of the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The regular net routing is a good feature."
"Cisco SD-WAN is a highly stable solution."
"The orchestration on the VPN connection between remote locations is a fantastic feature. I used it some time ago."
"The interface should be more user-friendly and it should be easier to configure."
"The price could be better."
"Barracuda CloudGen Firewall should work a little bit more with the logs so that, in our company, we can generate a little bit more reports and get a bit more statistics, which would be fine for us."
"The administration UI could be better. It should also have better application detection policies."
"It would be better if they had a trace and trap feature. It's hard for me to say anything bad about Barracuda. This is because we had a firewall go down in the town of Kirkland Lake, and it was a blown-out port, and they had an instant replacement."
"The features are a bit limited compared to other vendors."
"The biggest issue that I have with this solution is that it is not super intuitive. Once you know what to do, things make sense, but you can't just open the program and start doing things. It would be great if there was a little bit more guided usage inside the program."
"I would like to see the connection improved."
"The product needs to have more understanding staff in their support team. The tool needs to provide support in every stage of deployment. We did not get the expected support from their team. The product is also not easy to use."
"We have found that their SD-WAN has a lot of scope for improvement."
"Customers require features that are secure for endpoints, on-premises, and for the cloud."
"Cisco could do more to offer bundling of the SD-WAN and other solutions."
"This solution could be improved with a simpler implementation process and licensing model."
"The main issue is that not in the technology, but it comes back comparison. When we do a comparison with other SD WAN solutions, they are priced better."
"Simplifying the definition and implementation could add significant value, as it can be complex due to multiple product integrations and customization requirements."
"Some competitors are much faster in providing out-of-the-box solutions, more innovative solutions. In terms of innovation, in many cases, they're lagging behind."
