Barracuda CloudGen Firewall

This product serves as both our primary edge firewalls as well as our SD-WAN concentrators and end-points. We occasionally use smaller Barracuda firewalls in mobile or field-office applications as well. We have used Barracuda for general-purpose student web filtering in the past.

• It saved us during the pandemic
• Good easy to use interface
• We no longer have to call support every time we need to make a change - like on our Cisco firewall

• 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.

Our nextgen Barracuda CloudGen Firewall F380 has been a key part of the company's protection and security. It was acquired about 2 years ago from a reseller and since then it has been our network edge defense. The appliance is complete and in addition to a firewall, it has other advanced protection features such as URL filtering, application control, VPN and anti-malware. We use a topology with 2 appliances in active-standby, the first one is the main one and the second one is for redundancy. With our scenario, the network is always very safe from attacks and vulnerabilities.

• Firewall with deep packet inspection and built-in IPS.
• Robust hardware that supports more than 80,000 simultaneous connections.
• Web protection with URL Filtering functionality and application control.
• VPN site to site and remote.
• Offers protection against malware.

• Prevents cyber attacks and optimizes network and user management.
• The security has been improved and made more reliable.
