Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service vs. MutualMind

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

• User interface
• Slow response

Incentivized

• MutualMind gauges sentiment around social conversations but does so with the standard margin of error found in most social analytics products. The nature of human conversation makes it difficult for a machine to categorize sentiment with 100% accuracy. MutualMind gets sentiment right between 50% to 70% which is within acceptable industry averages for this type of product. With additional tuning (which MutualMind provides) the accuracy levels will increase.

Reliability and flexibility (MutualMind's willingness to jointly produce new functionality)

As a company that's only 3 years old, MutualMind's toolset is quite usable but it could use some tweaks in the user interface, which they are constantly working on.

During a recent upgrade period, MutualMind had a small window of unavailability. I am confident they have addressed the root cause and do not foresee any future issues.

The product's performance has improved greatly in the last year and we anticipate seeing additional improvements in coming months based no planned infrastructure changes.

MutualMind has always been quick to address any issues or questions we have.

Not really...MutualMind was very professional and helped with all stages of our setup and implementation.

Using the phishing and impersonation tool to rule out and capture phishing emails is good one we are using.
