Barracuda CloudGen Firewall - Recommended

First Firewall I feel Comfortable With!

- Good easy to use interface

Barracuda changed my work life forever
- We saved multiple thousands of dollars the first year out with the firewall in maintenance fees. We paid for the firewall and 3 years of service and still saved money.
- The ease of management allows me to do my job more efficiently. I save a lot of time when doing my day to day job because I can get to my firewall virtually anywhere.
- I feel a lot safer and my business more secure knowing that I have configured things the way they need to be and it was simple and not overly complicated.

The only firewalls you will need
- Really neutral given we came from the x series. The move to the x series was a huge positive in terms of time spent managing and the ability to get what needed to be done, well done. The move to the NG was just the next step.
- I will say the one thing, in terms of value, that is given is the firewall admin application. This one program saves a ton of time in configuration versus using the web-based configuration. You can only pick one, and for me, it's a no brainer - turn the web-based config off and use the app.

Barracuda NG Firewalls - the most complicated (but great) product you'll ever implement
- Positive: highly customizable and can control the entire network from one location.
- Positive: all services and processes work very well and are reliable.
- Positive: MSPs looking to deploy and control numerous firewalls with ease, this is hands down the best product.
- Negative: very high learning curve, definitely not a one-and-done firewall. Requires a lot of dedicated time to get the machine running the way you want.
