What I like best about the Barracuda Web Application Firewall is the ease of configuration and use of the software. Support from Barracuda is great also. Load Balancing of the Web Application Firewall is also nice. This allows you to do maintenance or have large loads for the end user. Threat monitoring of our network and traffic coming into out services within our Cloud Solution.
What I dislike about the Barracuda Web Application Firewall is reporting seems to be lacking on the firewall, but this could be just that I haven't dove into it very deep. And it seems to have trouble with FTP control. Again could be the way i am configuring it. The initial setup is a little tough. but if you have used a Web Application Firewall before this might not be an issue.
My Recommendations to any one else that is looking into getting the Barracuda Web Application Firewall. seek help with initial setup, especially if it will be hosted in a cloud environment. This will allow you to get the full potential out of the Web Application Firewall.
The Business problems we are solving with the Barracuda Web Application Firewall is Election security and Business Application security in the Cloud. We also use this Web Application Firewall to secure internal servers that don't need to be accessing the outside world. We use it for threat monitoring, that our security specialist uses everyday.
I like how it blocks emails that may be spam- then you go online and can “whitelist” them if they aren’t spam. The site allows you to view the email before approving it to go to your inbox.
It does not inform you if you received an email to the barracuda.
It protects your computer from potentially dangerous emails that could hack your computer or account. It’s helpful because in the industry I work in we are always using email to communicate.
Easy to use, reliable, protected and worthy
Somtimes acess denied on something needed
To give us access on what we need to see or what we can’t.
It worked very well. A lot of websites were blocked.
The constant pop up in the right hand corner of the screen that would not go away no matter how much you try to hide it.
It keeps employees off of websites.
