Efficient real-time data management with outstanding speed and fault tolerance
My primary use case involves working with real-time data from thermostats and smart AC devices. These devices, such as Google Nest, control the environment setup through mobile apps. We use Amazon One Core for managing these smart devices Customers have not reported any issues related to speed…
Jennifer  Bernice - PeerSpot reviewer
Dotnet Developer at Kohl's
Centralized firewall management has saved time and improved network security across locations
Barracuda CloudGen Firewall could be improved as it has a very high learning curve. It is definitely not a one and done firewall, as a one and done firewall requires a lot of dedicated time to get the machine running the way you want. To improve Barracuda CloudGen Firewall, there should be a lot of tutorials and videos online to help new users. Multiple ways to configure for the same service or feature takes time to determine your customized build. In addition to previous points, the interface can sometimes be clunky when trying to determine how it is organized or arranged.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The speed and fault-tolerant behavior of Amazon One are the most valuable features, as it can handle millions of requests per second without losing any packets during transmission to services like AWS Lambda or SQS."
"The speed and fault-tolerant behavior of Amazon One are the most valuable features."
"When you are sending information to an external email address, Barracuda can warn you when you are trying to access a private or personal email, or trying to upload information and not allow you to do that."
"It has a full-feature license, it is easy to adapt the solution to the customer's needs, and it's great to have an unlimited VPN, advanced threat protection, many other features inside the proxy server, and so on."
"They have very good security."
"I would recommend Barracuda CloudGen Firewall to almost everybody, and I couldn't foresee anyone to whom I wouldn't recommend unless they are very price sensitive."
"The technical support from Barracuda is very good. I would rate it nine out of ten."
"Barracuda CloudGen Firewall has positively impacted my organization by saving us lots of time and man-hours, ultimately saving us lots of money."
"The drag and drop features of VPN are really convenient to be configured, and the VPN tunnel provides a secure environment in the organization."
"I rate the customer service as ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"There are some areas for improvement, such as tech support. It requires setting up a meeting for assistance."
"Can be underpowered if you choose to use all available add-on features. Just be careful when sizing your unit. Make sure you take into account what features you will be turning on, and work with your sales rep to get the model that can handle that load."
"The solution could be improved with visibility into the traffic about what's happening at a given time."
"To start working with spam, it takes a while because the product has to see that multiple emails are coming in with all the spam. If it could reduce that amount of time, then we would reduce the amount of users who are receiving spam."
"The stability of the solution isn't ideal. There are bugs and issues with updates occasionally."
"I think the command line could be improved. In Cisco, Palo Alto and Juniper, the command line is a little more friendly."
"While using Barracuda CloudGen Firewall, we encounter issues with VPN profiles for Windows."
"Technical support could be more reliable and more professional."
"It's a little bit complex in terms of handling. If you implement a change, there is a specific point where you have to commit it. It's not like you just push a button and it's always committed. If you don't know to check whether your commit command has been executed or not... that is something Barracuda needs to work on."
