Find out in this report how the two Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Solutions solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Inbound and outbound traffic analysis, rule creation wizard, and the GUI portal are among the key features."
"The product is foolproof. It has done everything that we have needed with the amount of email that we receive, and it handles it quite well."
"The encryption and the security standards are valuable."
"They have a very responsive customer service and support team."
"The ability to be deployed and supported remotely is valuable."
"I wanted to go to a software-defined WAN and in Barracuda they have a specific protocol called TINA (Transport Independent Network Architecture). You can create a master policy over the internet and it allows you to do Quality of Services on top of it. That is really helpful for me."
"Add-on features such as Virus Scanning, ATP, and web filtering add another level of protection and block malware before it gets to the end user."
"We enjoy the reduction in terms of labor."
"The scalability is quite good."
"I haven't had any trouble, and practically forget that I'm using it."
"We appreciate the optimization and acceleration of the performance of SDP users."
"The WAN aggregation feature is the most valuable."
"The solution is stable."
"The product is very simple, and everything can be done very quickly."
"The visibility control and security aspects are amazing."
"The solution is a simple WAN solution. We've onboarded the socket on the Cato platform, and it provides connectivity. There is no complex routing."
"Sometimes we have a need for detailed reports. Barracuda NG Firewall does not have a reports module and uses a satellite application."
"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."
"We would like to see a solution that is focused on container deployment, which is very important right now."
"Barracuda CloudGen Firewall should work a little bit more with the logs so that, in our company, we can generate a little bit more reports and get a bit more statistics, which would be fine for us."
"When you login from some sources, there is no feature in this box which can log you out after a certain timeout."
"There is room for improvement in performance and the support language. The support they're providing right now is from a different country, and in our country, there are people—network admins and IT heads—who don't speak English properly. So Barracuda needs to provide support agents who speak additional languages, such as Bangla."
"A rule for email announcements, when configured hits occur, would be a great improvement for a more efficient experience."
"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."
"Cato Networks security could be better."
"Cato Networks could improve their intrusion detection. There is not a lot in place."
"They should include a web application firewall feature in the solution."
"The price could be better."
"The tool needs to be more granular. Its reports are not very in-depth."
"A little tweaking or improvement of the UI in terms of logging when troubleshooting would be an improvement because it's very detailed."
"Modifying or incorporating Cato Network to work with a third-party platform, such as Microsoft, or other Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings would be beneficial. Having more integration partners would help the users implement the solution."
"We would like the product to continue to improve its security."
