We performed a comparison between Barracuda Web Application Firewall and Radware LinkProof based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."If an attack is coming continuously, you can ask the device to block it temporarily for two to three minutes. F5 has not provided us with an option to block certain IPs for some time. Barracuda can help you block someone if the source is from a different IP. You can apply the rule to the device and block it for whatsoever time you want. The solution will unblock the IP after the prescribed time as well."
"The most valuable feature is the rule set."
"The installation is straightforward."
"The stability of the solution is good. I don't think we've experienced bugs, crashes, or glitches."
"There is no one special feature, but the WAF itself is valuable: user-friendly protection against web attacks etc., authentication, reporting, accountability, alerting, and hardened OS."
"Some of the most valuable features are the ease of deployment, the Barracuda support, the easy-to-use console, and the granularity of the reports."
"One of the strongest points is its robust issue discovery capabilities. Barracuda invests significant efforts in identifying and resolving issues. They have multiple products that work in tandem to perform these checks, which is beneficial because it automates security updates. This is the primary reason I recommend it to my customers."
"It significantly improved our overall web security posture, addressing intrusions and enhancing control over web URLs in our environment."
"The most valuable feature of Radware LinkProof is that it supports link load balance."
"The performance and stability are the most valuable features."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Provides good performance and scalability."
"The most valuable feature of Radware LinkProof for traffic distribution is its DNS management capability."
"The GUI needs to be improved because it sometimes hangs and needs to be restarted."
"We get false positives about phishing emails."
"I would like to see an improved capacity to store logs so that they will be available for a longer time."
"As most people are aware, the implementation is not easy."
"There are issues when upgrading firewalls and we experience different issues across customers."
"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."
"The incident reporting needs to be improved."
"I have found F5 more stable than Barracuda Web Application Firewall. They should improve the stability."
"Radware LinkProof's marketing efforts need improvement to raise awareness about its capabilities and compete effectively in the market."
