User Testimonials
	Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service	FortiWeb
Likelihood to Recommend	Barracuda Networks, Inc. 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Fortinet 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.

Cons	Barracuda Networks, Inc. User interface Slow response Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Fortinet Built-in vulnerability scanner should be better in next release Predefined security policies for other web application not listed Incentivized Mohamed Taha Cyber Security Division Manager Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Barracuda Networks, Inc. Using the phishing and impersonation tool to rule out and capture phishing emails is good one we are using. Incentivized James Moody Jr Information Technology PC Specialist/Analyst Read full review	Fortinet 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.
