AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
  • G2 reviewers report that Zscaler Internet Access excels in overall user satisfaction, boasting a significantly higher G2 Score compared to Barracuda Web Security and Filtering. Users appreciate its cloud-delivered security that eliminates the need for complex on-premises infrastructure, enhancing performance and scalability.
  • Users say that Zscaler's implementation process is smooth and efficient, with many highlighting the intuitive onboarding wizard that simplifies setup. In contrast, while Barracuda is also noted for its quick setup, it lacks the same level of recent user engagement, with no new reviews in the last 90 days.
  • Reviewers mention that Zscaler provides robust features like URL Filtering Policies and Cloud App Control Policies, which allow for granular control over web access and enhance data protection. Barracuda users appreciate its ability to create specific user groups with tailored web filtering rules, but it may not offer the same depth of security features.
  • According to verified reviews, Zscaler's ease of use is highly rated, with users noting its consistent performance and the ability to enforce security policies globally. Barracuda, while also user-friendly, has slightly lower ratings in this area, indicating that some users may find Zscaler's interface more intuitive.
  • Users highlight that Zscaler's quality of support is commendable, with many praising the responsiveness and effectiveness of their customer service. Barracuda, however, has received higher ratings for support quality, suggesting that users may find more satisfaction in Barracuda's customer service experience.
  • Reviewers note that Zscaler's product direction is viewed positively, with a strong focus on continuous improvement and innovation. Barracuda also receives favorable feedback, but Zscaler's commitment to evolving its offerings appears to resonate more with users looking for long-term partnerships.
