    Robust security and easy to use firewall. For the unknown and untrained, it may appear complex and complicated, but it is not. My individual view is that it is totally worth the subscription.

Barracuda CloudGen Firewall Likes & Dislikes

Like

The centralized management and ease of use stand out on this product as well as the ease of configuration of the boxes. Also using objects makes it easy to make change on every level (box level to rule level). Also the high available option is nice for important sites.

Like

easy to navigate, the logic of configure it is ok

Like

Once the setup is done, it pretty much runs in an automated way without much supervision. Live monitoring not required and intrusion detection and handling is top notch.

Dislike

The console could sometimes be a bit more stable.

Dislike

I think comparing with other tech. the logic is diffrent and i can not get the info. i need in some area as other vendor tech.

Dislike

The cost should be on a bit lower side.
