"So easy to navigate and great program for emails"

5/5

What do you like best about Barracuda Web Application Firewall?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Barracuda Web Application Firewall?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
