    Simple Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service were out of the box standard policies can be applied. this Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service is perfect for a basic environment and protection in particular if you have already other barracuda Infrastruture elements in your network. Easy to deploy configure and get it running with in a few hours. Definitely not the type of WAF for a complex web application.

    Regarding my experience, I prefer to deploy FortiWeb in a reverse proxy to have the full features and protection. The other mode will be useful for special cases as will it will not have the full range of features and protection. Like offline Sniffing, it will be used in special cases.

    Most of them have the same features but not for FREE. The second point was the total cost of ownership for 3 and 5 years. Fortinet supported us with the best prices for 3 years and 5 years as well with advanced hardware replacement against the others.
