We performed a comparison between Barracuda CloudGen Firewall and VMware SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."If an employee tries to get or move a file that is not permitted to them - for example if he wants to copy it to a USB - he will not have the right to do that, because Barracuda manages who has the right to copy, and what you copy to a USB. The USB is encrypted with a specific code from Barracuda and will only be decrypted into any other laptop in the company if they allow it to see it."
"One of the big benefits of the product is that it allows you to manage big environments with fewer resources."
"Scalability is good; the company wants to be able to handle large customers."
"Their GPS possibilities and the security that it has, especially the SD-WAN functionality, is very good."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to offer firewall support to our clients."
"It's great for handling complex items."
"Inbound and outbound traffic analysis, rule creation wizard, and the GUI portal are among the key features."
"I think Barracuda CloudGen Firewall is one of the most advanced firewall platforms. I also like that it's easy to get top-level support right away. You get that security, and if you make a mistake, it doesn't break."
"VMware SD-WAN is scalable."
"If one circuit crashes, we are able to switch to a second circuit without any disruption in connection."
"VeloCloud developed DMPO to increase performance and connectivity."
"The most valuable feature is the dynamic multipath optimization."
"I have found the dynamic multipoint protocol(DNPO) most useful because it can tell you which is the best circuit to use for different types of traffic."
"VMware has been chosen by many of our customers who do not want to do a lot of complex routing in their environment and want a very easy-to-use solution. The most valuable features are simple troubleshooting, Dynamic Multipath Optimization (DMPO), and cybersecurity."
"It is very simple to configure. When you use the cloud to configure the equipment, it has zero-touch provisioning."
"VMware SD-WAN is a complete solution."
"The features are a bit limited compared to other vendors."
"The technical manuals, at times, have images that don't match the actual screens and are not always as clear as they could be on the configuration."
"The analytics are weak."
"Its interface could be better."
"When you do any commit, it locks your next access. If you are making a change to the device, from the security standpoint it's fine, but from the admin side it's not good. When you make changes, after each and every one it becomes locked."
"We would like to see a solution that is focused on container deployment, which is very important right now."
"I would like to see the connection improved."
"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 dashboards could be improved."
"In the future, we would like to have more capacity using this solution as there are limitations on the VCE. For example, only 50 tunnels can be supported currently but we would like to have 200 tunnels using the VeloCloud VCE device."
"The solution is pricey. It could be cheaper."
"VMware SD-WAN doesn't have the best built-in firewall."
"The prep time and understanding what you want to do and how much bandwidth you'll need and how you're going to configure it on the network, that's more of an issue than anything else."
"VMware SD-WAN could improve by having more partnerships with other vendors."
"The only thing that I'm having issues with is on one of the sites, I can't see the location on the map."
"I would like to see more features added to increase visibility."
