Barracuda Web Application Firewall Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Director Information Technology at College of Physicians & Surgeons Pakistan3.5I've used Barracuda Web Application Firewall for four years; it's effective and offers good ROI, though it struggles with false positives, limited reports, and poor technical support, especially from the Indian team. Some interface improvements and training are needed.
Senior Security Systems Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees4.0Having used Barracuda WAF for years, I find it effective for application security, attack protection, and its excellent support. While its learning and reporting features are valuable, I believe improvements are needed in security policy flexibility and API/bot protection.
Cyber Security Consultant at Axle iT4.0I used Barracuda Web Application Firewall primarily to manage website traffic and detect malicious bots. Its bot management was impressive, notably reducing traffic for platforms like Coolblue. However, Barracuda lacks the advanced features of solutions like Tenable.
Technical Lead at cmsit services3.5I use Barracuda Web Application Firewall for web application protection, appreciating its advanced bot and DDoS protection. However, false positives impact client transactions, and I need improved API security to meet evolving requirements. I've only used Barracuda.
Senior sales manager at World Future Company4.0My clients use Barracuda Web Application Firewall to secure web traffic, valuing its ease of use and signature base. However, it lacks hosting in Saudi Arabia and needs better regional tech support. I compare it to Fortinet and Palo Alto.
Senior System Administrator at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees4.5I find Barracuda Web Application Firewall easy to use but have encountered issues with its slow load balancing and non-functional connection pooling, especially affecting HTTPS services. I previously used F5, which I consider more stable.
It consultant and Project Manager/ CTO technology officer at Cabar at Cabar SRL4.0I recommend Barracuda Web Application Firewall for its robust issue discovery capabilities and automatic security updates, despite its outdated user interface. It effectively enhances security and delivers ROI by improving the security posture of applications.
Presales Engineer at SNSIN3.5My company uses Barracuda Web Application Firewall for HTTP protection of an internet-exposed application. While it offers both cloud and WAF-as-a-Service deployment models, it requires addressing reported vulnerabilities across Barracuda's tools for improved security.
