Overall Satisfaction with Barracuda Web Filter
We use the Barracuda Web Filter server as our primary device to control access to websites used by our employees. All web requests are scanned by the device for content, blacklists from Barracuda, and our own internal blacklist. Our primary firewalls can also do web content filtering, but we were limited to the number of groups that could be used. Barracuda allows us to get down to the individual level for access/denial.
- Easy reporting.
- Allows customization down to the individual level.
- Setting up specific rules for a website or user can be confusing.
- Would like to be able to create a rule from the usage log. Example: Find a site that should not be allowed, right click on it, and have the option to create a rule from the information already found.
- Has made it very easy to see what sites are being accessed.
- Blocks a lot more of the pop up advertisements than our primary firewall does.
- Easy for user to request a bypass if they get blocked.
