Barracuda CloudGen Firewall Reviews & Product Details

The support is the best part about the Barracuda Firewall's and any Barracuda product for that matter. We have a few of their products and their support is the best in the industry. They by far go above and beyond. Uptime for this product has been higher than others that we have used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see a full blown web management interface on the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is an enterprise level firewall at less than an enterprise cost. I would put them next to Cisco or Juniper any day. They are functional, reliable, quick, and the support from Barracuda is second to NONE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. I mean they could cost less, but you get what you pay for at the end of the day and when you are protecting a company from people doing things they shouldn't have to do, cost starts to become not as relevant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Advanced Security features(IPS, Web Filtering, antimalware) along with SDWAN.

2. Cetralized Management(Seperate data and management plane)

3. VPN, SDWAN along with its own TINA VPN tunnel has added advantages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Licencing and subscription model quite expensive.

2. Bugs on SDWAN features with friquent software update for bug fixing seems inconsistent.

3. Initial configuration seems quite complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Outstanding for multi-cloud! Unmatched SD-WAN, TINA VPN resilience, and centralized control make managing hybrid infrastructure seamless. Highly recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Steep initial learning curve, complex configuration for new users, and recurring license costs for features like URL filtering Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

tremendous support and very reliable device Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there is nothing to dislike about barracuda as a company they are very solid and their products and services are solid as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More than 8 years ago the task was to replace a shared infrastructure consisting of several firewalls and network accesses, some of which were simple devices without next-gen functions or modern ones such as ATP, botnet protection, etc. Since I had only just started the position, I was familiar with the entire structure and data streams completely unknown. Unfortunately, my predecessors didn't do a particularly good job in terms of documentation. The observation mode made it easy to analyze the current data stream and plan initial optimizations and detect weak points and security gaps. This made it possible to build in parallel and switch directly. Afterwards, all deficiencies could be eliminated in small steps. Despite the many firmware updates with some architectural changes over the many years, the basic operation has not changed and updates were possible without support except once (an old configured network was not removed correctly). Changing the hardware was extremely easy, just import a backup of the old one, wire everything up and off we went. Otherwise, daily operations are very quiet and give me a lot of freedom for other tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

he configuration software is only available for Windows. Some firewalls offer Wireguard support, which is still missing here, as this is the only solution available, especially for smaller third-party companies that we connect with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Versatile and powerful, with very good support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it isn’t very intuitive. I have to spend a lot of time troubleshooting and trying to understand how it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Simplified Management using control centre.

2. Separate management and data plane.

3. SDWAN feature with TINA Tunnel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Frequent software update causing service inconsistency.

2. Complex Configuration for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Barracuda CloudGen Firewall valuable for monitoring and controlling our network traffic. The technical support is always top notch and available, which really helps us. The initial setup was very easy, making it straightforward right from the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think an improvement could have to do with having some sort of log review by AI to determine if there are issues with the firewalls that are not being seen with the monitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its automation feature is very impressive. Integration in the cloud is very easy. Central management system with deep threat protection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All the things are nice features are also good, but it is costly. and the learning curve is steep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
