"Has a good dashboard."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, especially if you enlist assistance."
"You don't need help from Barracuda to help with the deployment. The deployment is easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the simplicity of configuration."
"Setup of this solution is straightforward. It's a stable and scalable solution, with good performance and fast technical support."
"This product gives us visibility into what is going on in two servers, including connections and sessions, real-time alerts, very good reporting, and KPIs. It makes managing security of a critical server very easy, with a friendly GUI."
"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."
"Helps us to monitor situation in regards to attacks to our sites and prevents a lot of them."
"I would like to see a native multi-cloud cover."
"The reporting aspect of the solution needs improvement. I don't find that it's very good. They could do some work on it to make it much better. It's not that the reporting isn't secure. It's just that I would prefer to store my reports for an extended period of time. Right now, that's not possible and I'd prefer it if that could change. I also would say that the reports themselves are expensive."
"In the Barracuda Web Application Firewall, there should be more affordable options for WAF as a service."
"The documentation is lacking. It's not like what you'd get if you were using Juniper or Cisco. They need to expand on it and make it more useful."
"Barracuda Web Application Firewall's load balancing feature could be improved."
"If you know nothing about networks, then you can't set it up."
"An area for improvement in Barracuda Web Application Firewall is attack identification. Other banks identified attacks and tracked logs that the solution wasn't able to identify because of its ready-made rules pre-deployed by the vendor. My organization raised this issue with the technical support team. Another area to improve in Barracuda Web Application Firewall is its service desk. The team resorted to stonewalling because they couldn't accept that a feature was missing in the solution, and it was only after a lot of drilling down that the service desk team accepted that, and would be adding that feature in the future. My organization had to submit a report to the Reserve Bank of India with information on the logs identified and the attacks that happened, and that there was a failure on the part of the Barracuda Web Application Firewall. The Reserve Bank of India conducts a tri-monthly cyber risk audit in all Indian banks. Even smaller banks identified and caught attacks that my organization wasn't able to do, so I was looking into other solutions that competitor banks could be using because Barracuda Web Application Firewall failed to identify some of the attacks."
"We encountered a few glitches while implementing API security features into the product."
"The biggest problem for us was the stability and speed using the first version of Wallarm. Now, it is fine."
