What do you dislike about the product?
While the basic features are user-friendly, I've found that some of the more advanced settings can be complex. There were a few moments where I had to dive deep into the user manuals or reach out to customer support. A bit more intuitive design or additional tutorials on these features would enhance the experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Barracuda Cloud-Native SASE has been a valuable addition to our cybersecurity toolkit. Its strengths in security and user experience outweigh the minor drawbacks I've encountered. I would recommend it to companies looking for a reliable SASE solution that prioritizes security and ease of management.

For how long have I used the solution?
I have been a partner working with Barracuda CloudGen Firewall for five years.
