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."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."
"If you have multiple offices, all inter-connected via the internet, you want a single management console through which you can manage all you firewalls. In that case Barracuda could be a good option."
"Its stability and SD-WAN features are the most valuable."
"Barracuda is very prompt at blocking any new spam which comes out."

"Enables us to define user application-level access, so our customers can work anytime from anywhere."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The granularity when it comes to configuration and security features are valuable."
"The solution is stable and suitable."
"The division of Control Plane and Data Plane is most valuable. It can be deployed anywhere, and you can control it and configure it from anywhere. This is one of the good features of this solution."
"Our organization finds the application routing features extremely useful."
"The product has a dynamic VPN feature for SD-WAN."
"I like all the features. We utilize different LAN, bandwidth transferring, bandwidth balancing, and mappings. We use it as a centralized solution, and use the same product at all our locations."

"While using Barracuda CloudGen Firewall, we encounter issues with VPN profiles for Windows."
"The features are a bit limited compared to other vendors."
"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."
"Technical support used to be at a very high level but it is now a bit less so."
"To start working with spam, it takes a while because the product has to see that multiple emails are coming in with all the spam. If it could reduce that amount of time, then we would reduce the amount of users who are receiving spam."
"The interface should be more user-friendly and it should be easier to configure."
"Its interface could be better."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"I heard about them for the first time just before I started working on Versa. They do have blogs for information, but they could publicize more about the documentation and architecture. It doesn't seem to have that much exposure, and they should work on their customer base more."
"Another thing that should be improved in Versa are their firewall features."
"Future releases should contain AI for the voice feature."
"The interface could be simpler."
"The VPN feature is relatively new. It came out two releases ago, and they're still fixing that up."
"We are thinking about how to make customers consolidate the loads to an SD-WAN network so that the customers can have bigger chunk from the SD-WAN side so that customers can have critical data be transferred with NPS VPN and non-critical data or some labeled traffic can be transferred by the SD-WAN network. I think it's a very important direction for digital transformation."
"The stability of FlexVNF's controller and devices could be improved."
"The UTM features can be improved. It should offer better functionality."
