Barracuda Web Application Firewall Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Director Information Technology at College of Physicians & Surgeons Pakistan3.5Barracuda WAF provides valuable basic protection and ROI, but I'm deeply dissatisfied with its technical support, frequent false positives, and basic reporting. I desire better training and clearer product information.
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.
Technical Lead at cmsit services3.5I use Barracuda WAF for web protection, valuing its bot/DDoS features and excellent support. Still, frequent false positives block transactions and affect stability. I rate it 7/10, recommending it mainly for the strong support team.
Cyber Security Consultant at Axle iT4.0I found Barracuda WAF excellent for bot management, easy to deploy, and offering exceptional customer service. While stable and scalable, I felt it lacked some advanced features compared to alternatives like Tenable, making it a good, affordable solution for mid-segment use.
Senior sales manager at World Future Company4.0I use Barracuda WAF for web traffic, valuing its ease of use and signature base. It's stable and recommendable (8/10). However, I'd like local Saudi Arabia hosting to improve scalability, and it's somewhat expensive.
It consultant and Project Manager/ CTO technology officer at Cabar at Cabar SRL4.0I recommend Barracuda WAF for its robust security and stability, despite its outdated GUI and inconsistent support. Setup is easy, offering good ROI for enterprises, though costly for small businesses. I rate it 8/10.
Presales Engineer at SNSIN3.5My company uses Barracuda WAF for HTTP protection, finding it stable, scalable, and easy to set up with marvelous support. While effective for compliance and monitoring, some reported vulnerabilities need improvement. I rate it 7-8/10.
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.
