When faced with extremely rapid growth (remote branch offices), utilizing the Barracuda FW was the best fit for our needs, It's flexibility and rapid deployment enabled us to better tackle our upcoming expansion of 60+ remote locations. Utilizing the Tunnel features for multiple connections is the best load balancing feature we needed. This allowed for disparate Telco technologies to work seamlessly together. Tech support is sometimes average, but always manages to get issues resolved.

Being a lot of remote branches are in remote areas, having the ability to use flexible Tunnels to adapt to what low cost Telco technologies are available in each area is priceless.

Logging output need improvements to better support 3rd party parsers.

Superb firewalls with all necessary features to secure a business from today's threats. Learning curve required, but are great as fleet appliances for managed firewall services.

The Barracuda CloudGen Firewall is exceptional as a managed firewall for an MSP or large organization that needs a fleet of firewalls. Their management console is superb and provides exceptional access to the firewalls for management and ease of setup.

The difficult part of the firewall is the knowledge of setup. They are particularly complicated to learn, even if one is well-versed with firewall configurations. One this process is down and the initial setup done, firewalls can be replicated with ease.

I like the reliability of the barracuda and this product doesn't disappoint.

There is a bit of a learning curve as with anything.

For the cost of the appliance, you can't beat it. Very robust but user friendly at the same time.

At first there was a slight learning curve, but I quickly got the hang of it. Managing several devices within one console saves a ton of time.
