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

This is not a program I would consider using in the future.
Pros
The promise of the program was to help limit spam messages and keep your inbox clutter free. When it did so effectively it was appreciated.
Cons
Program often blocks from users that are not spam senders. It did not matter in many cases if the contacts were even manually whitelisted, emails would still be blocked.

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.
Cons
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.
