Find out in this report how the two Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its stability and SD-WAN features are the most valuable."
"Single sign-on is also good. If you are accessing your corporate firewall from your home, during that time there is integration with AD. You can use your AD password to access your SSL VPN. It's not like if you buy an additional SSL VPN... You can directly integrate with your AD. If you change your password on the AD side, your client-to-VPN password also gets changed. You can integrate all your passwords from a single console. It's not like admin has to change your password, it's a single sign-on."
"When you are sending information to an external email address, Barracuda can warn you when you are trying to access a private or personal email, or trying to upload information and not allow you to do that."
"The solution is stable."
"Live monitoring of what is happening inside and on the interfaces, either ingress or egress."
"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."
"The product is foolproof. It has done everything that we have needed with the amount of email that we receive, and it handles it quite well."
"Remote access is excellent."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"The backup is the best feature."
"We get support in the free version."
"My primary use case for this solution is for a secure gateway."
"The solution is scalable."
"Stability is never a concern."
"With this product, we receive the best monitoring and reports."
"The administration UI could be better. It should also have better application detection policies."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"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."
"I would like to see the connection improved."
"If you have another brand of VPN where you have to put an SSL VPN between two devices, Barracuda doesn't support that at a certain point. You can't actually build the VPN between Barracuda and a different device of a different brand."
"The features are a bit limited compared to other vendors."
"They have a very complicated interface. It's very hard to learn."
"There is room for improvement in performance and the support language. The support they're providing right now is from a different country, and in our country, there are people—network admins and IT heads—who don't speak English properly. So Barracuda needs to provide support agents who speak additional languages, such as Bangla."
"I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance."
"Many years back an update caused an issue with the firewall. However, Palo Alto not only informed us of said issue, they also sent an update that fixed the issue before I even had time to log in to determine if the issue affected our services."
"The system uptime data is unavailable"
"The support is good but they could be faster."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
"The threat intelligence that we receiving in the reporting was not as expected. We were expecting more. Additionally, we should be able to whitelist a specific file based on a variety of attributes."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
