“Provides on-premise and cloud options

Appreciate having both on-premise and cloud options with centralized management through the control center. They were among the early adopters with Azure integration about 8 years ago which shows their forward-thinking approach.

Cons

Haven't really found anything to complain about with how we use it.

“highly responsive team

Pros

I've found that the firewalls function really well together as an ecosystem letting me manage multiple devices from one central location. The single pane interface makes everything simple. Setting up new firewalls has become pretty easy. Their customer support team responds quickly when I need help. We've been running several CloudGen Firewalls for some time now and they've adapted well as we transitioned from the virtual Covid environment to our current live and hybrid event setup.

Cons

The interface is powerful but a bit confusing. They really need to overhaul the workflow and how everything operates to make it easier to learn.

The web application is easy to use and covers every category I need to work with.

Cons

For certain areas, it might feel a bit complicated at first though it's manageable once you get the hang of it.

I love how it uses cloud technology to keep everything secure while connecting various security tools. Remote device connections feel much safer now and the protection level is powerful without being complicated to manage. For any business in today's digital landscape, this platform really delivers on security.

Cons

The connectivity problems drive me crazy. It keeps dropping out when I need it most. The settings menu is confusing and hard to use which makes everything take longer than it should.

“Powerful security features

Pros

The security features are powerful and handles our data protection. I appreciate how flexible and simple the cloud-based platform is. What really stands out is its scalability. It grows alongside our business needs without any issues. The integration with other Barracuda products works well which is a huge plus. Customer support has been solid especially for FAR-related issues and their chatbot on the website actually helps resolve quite a few problems on its own.

Cons

Sometimes their maintenance or support team takes long to provide solutions.

“Complex firewall admin interface

Pros

Setting up VPN access for remote workers to reach our on-site systems was not hard. The multi-factor authentication feature adds a nice layer of security that I really appreciate.

Cons

The firewall admin interface is pretty confusing to work with. You have to click through way too many screens just to get basic tasks done.
