"Enterprise-Level Firewall at a Great Value, with Unmatched Barracuda Support"

5/5

What do you like best about Barracuda CloudGen Firewall?

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.

What do you dislike about Barracuda CloudGen Firewall?

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.

What problems is Barracuda CloudGen Firewall solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is securing internet access for our whole agency. We use small firewalls at small facilities to build VPN tunnels back to the main facility. The original problem it solved was an inherent ACL in a Cisco ASA that I needed around for a specific purpose and Cisco was unwilling to do anything to make it work. Barracuda, I could do it out of the box... and that was the old X series firewalls. The cloudgens are light years ahead of them when they stopped making the X's.
