"We only need one subscription to be protected against both active DDoS and offline DDoS attacks."
"The most valuable features are the client VPN and content filtering."
"It's very simple and predictable, because Barracuda provides a vision of the current state of your application. It gives you an understanding of what is happening on your site and any attempts against you at your source. This is the main value that Web Application Firewall provides our company. These aspects are also the main reason for this documentation process."
"Even when we were upgrading to a new OS, we didn't have any difficulties with the product. The stability is good."
"Its recommendation about the probabilities on the website is great. It also has free probability managers for the website, which is really helpful. The protection engine, signature-based protection behavior, and analysis features are also great. It also has an ATP module for sandbox scanning and behavior analysis for file uploads."
"The product offers high availability."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability. During the time that I have been using it, it has not undergone a service failure... And with the integrated application protection, we have not suffered from attacks anymore."
"The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller."
"The solution has been very stable."
"A user-friendly and reasonably priced solution."

"We get false positives about phishing emails."
"The solution needs to leverage some additional features to a broader scale of software-defined networks."
"Sometimes when we put it in action, we have some blogs that appear as false positives. I think that it's improving. Barracuda should minimize false positives."

"This product could easily progress to be among the industry leaders. I think they need to improve enterprise level automation. It integrates with a small number of vulnerability scanners, so report results should be imported manually; same for SIEM integration."
"I think the main area for improvement in this product is learning it, as can be seen when comparing it to the F5 web application firewall. F5 has a very powerful learning phase when you start using your web application firewall against your site. Barracuda has something like this, but not with the same functionality from my point of view."

"Support is an area that needs improvement."
"Scalability should be based on customer requirements."
"It can be improved by combining the web application firewall (WAF) facility."

"I would like the solution to display and help visualize the reference map more easily. I would also like to better understand where queries come from and know which users are consulting the application, along with which app."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
