User Testimonials
	Barracuda Web Security Gateway	FortiProxy
Likelihood to Recommend	Barracuda Networks, Inc. For a larger organization, this is a must. It provides insight into what the users are doing online and most malicious sites will no longer be accessible if access is denied. This can also give access to non-work related sites, but in a limited capacity, based on user or time of day. Though a smaller company would benefit from the features, it may be cost prohibitive.

Pros	Barracuda Networks, Inc. Integrates with other Barracuda products, including the Barracuda Web Application Firewall and the Barracuda Email Security Gateway. Helps manage bandwidth to improve network performance. Easy to use. Allows you to perform SSL inspections to view content on social networks. Help prevent data loss. Protect our privacy.

Cons	Barracuda Networks, Inc. I don't think I have anything to mention here. The Barracuda Web Security Gateway does everything we need it to do. JG Jay Glatt Director of IT Read full review	Fortinet No answers on this topic
Usability	Barracuda Networks, Inc. There are a lot of settings you can adjust. The web log is easy to use. If a user is having issues accessing a website, you can go in and see what's being blocked and why. After that, you can make adjustments fairly easy. The GUI is easy to navigate and updating the software is a simple click of a button. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Fortinet No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Barracuda Networks, Inc. Barracuda support have also been excellent when we have had to contact them. The only time we had a hardware issue on a device (and that device was about 8 years old) it was replaced within about 24 hours of reporting it. Generally there has not been much need to contact their support, as once the device is in and set up, it just works.

Alternatives Considered	Barracuda Networks, Inc. SonicWall, Barracuda NG Firewall, and WatchGuard provides Content Filtering, but are primarily firewalls with Content Filtering features. The Web Filter is a dedicated appliance with more storage space and better reporting of users. Incentivized Derek Schroeder Service Manager Read full review	Fortinet No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Barracuda Networks, Inc. I came into the company with Barracuda already implemented so it worked well for a number of years. Their support contract was a bit pricey. For what the company paid for the system, Barracuda was worth the money over the 10 years it was implemented. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Fortinet No answers on this topic
