## Reviews

### "Load balancer with waf function, best for PMI" — 4.0/5

> **GIANLUCA** | *19 November 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Load balance features are complete and fully customizable, but the things I love the most are the waf functionality
They cover all the basic function a PMI needs (TLS, update filter etc) 
So in my opinion it is a great plus on this product for a PMI
> 
> **Cons**: Not so easy to update an deveped as small business solution so an enterprise installation it should be two separate solution
> 
> We use Barracuda both as load balancer and as balancer and waf as autonomous system
We never find problems and custom feature works great increasing protection

### "Best load balancer for the money" — 5.0/5

> **Matt** | *27 February 2018* | Consumer Services
> 
> **Pros**: This appliance is very secure and reliable. I have had no issues with mine at all. I've been using it non stop for over five years.
> 
> **Cons**: The UI is a bit outdated. If they would update this then the product would be perfect. I still highly recommend this.

### "Barracuda LB" — 5.0/5

> **Alexandre** | *15 August 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Fast, simple, simple interface for users.

not hard to use with the internal help guide
> 
> **Cons**: doesnt say exactly what reason the Appliance/server is down.

-----

### "Incredible Uptime" — 5.0/5

> **Daniel** | *05 August 2022* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The appliances are very reliable, with not even a minute of downtime since purchasing 6 years ago. They are also remarkably easy to manage if you cluster them. I have spent very little time working on issues with them.
> 
> **Cons**: The GUI feels a bit dated and can be slow to load management pages. This does not mean the actual services using them will be slow.

### "good value for money" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *22 February 2018* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: it is a relatively inexpensive and stable load balancing solution for web traffic and we use to manage traffic to sharepoint sites in our organization and it comes with an intuitive interface.
> 
> **Cons**: more detailed guidance at the time of initial configuration would have been really great.  There is guidance documentation on set up available but it is not at the really granular level that enables quick set up.
