A product that offers great bot protection feature with a need to improve its stability

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It provides an ease of policy management."

"I like its ability to identify known attacks, including DDOS attacks. It's valuable because software must be able to stop known attacks. Application attacks are evolving all the time. When it comes to software-as-a-service, we need to have software that knows about all the latest attacks. It should also protect against major unknown attacks."

"The solution can be used for threat prevention or as a cloud-to-cloud backup system"

"The product's bot protection feature is valuable for our company."

"The most valuable features of the solution are it is plug and play, has automated policies, a simple configuration, and is easy to create rules."

"We get alerts if we have some malware."

"The FIM feature, the information in the new management system, and their support are the most valuable features. The scanned results are quite fast as compared to other platforms compared to scanning timing. It takes about a minute or two minutes. Also, the results of the Comodo scan results are in detail."

"The solution is pretty stable. I've never faced pressing issues or hanging issue."

Cons

"The solution can improve by bundling Security Operation Center (SOC) with the WAF-as-a-Service, it would provide a lot more value to customers."

"We found it a bit slow when accessing it through the web browser. The URL also exposed the user name and the hashed password. When I log into my Barracuda WAF user portal, I could see the username and the hashed password on the URL itself. So, it is not very secure, and it is important to take that off."

"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"It's a very specific solution that is only requested for a customer's web code or their global IT policy."

"One significant area for improvement in Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service lies in its market positioning and pricing strategy."

"The portal is a little slow."

"The solution needs to build better performance, specifically in the hardware resources."

"A small problem is from the support team. Sometimes they are a bit delayed."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high. There are no additional costs to be paid apart from the standard licensing fees attached to the solution."

"The product is expensive but it offers flexible pricing. It could be affordable."

"It's very difficult for me to give an estimate of the cost. All I know is that we sell the box itself as a service."

"Comodo cWatch’s first level, which has fewer features, costs $7."
