The software has done exactly what it's supposed to do. Stop me from visiting websites I'm not supposed to at work. I can't imagine the countless times this software has stopped others in the company from visiting malicious sites. > > **Cons**: The biggest con for me is actually a positive for the software. This con is that the software works too well. I'm just trying to visit my fantasy football website. My IT department should loosen the grip a little. Please? ----- ### "Web Filter Appliances vs. DNS Filtering" — 4.0/5 > **Cody** | *25 May 2021* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have used a Barracuda Webfilter 410 for years. We purchased the appliance to replace the Web Blocker service on our Watchguard firewall. Setup is a breeze. Active Directory synchronization was always a problem with the way the device mapped users to IP addresses. Reporting was adequate but slow to generate. For a shop with limited IT resources these devices provide an easy point and click way to keep your staff on task by blocking some, most or all of the fun on the Internet. > > **Cons**: As mentioned above, the reporting was slow and the ability to accurately map a user to an event required too many work arounds. ----- ### "Good Basic Web Filter" — 3.0/5 > **Erika** | *3 December 2019* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Barracuda Web Security does its job as simple to use and quality software product. > > **Cons**: There are some ways to get around the web filter, so not all off-limits sites are completely inaccessible. ----- ### "Added Security to Trust" — 5.0/5 > **Roberta** | *19 February 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We use the Barracuda filter for our school and the Web Security is an added feature. Since the Barracuda is our CIPA filter for the school, we decided that having the addition of another virus program was to our benefit. > > **Cons**: Honestly, the Barracuda does its stuff behind the scenes and there is never any reason to have an issue with it. I find it a little cumbersome to manage when the need arises but that is few and far between for us. > > Initially I was overwhelmed with the Barracuda experience. My former filter was easy to manage and it didn't block quite so much and so eagerly. After a few tweaks, the filter works smoothly and there are less issues of educational websites being blocked. I like that the Barracuda will scan any PDF before it allows it to open. Once it has done this it remembers the PDF and won't scan it again. Our experience has been very positive. ----- ### "Write a Review for Barracuda Web Security Gateway Review" — 5.0/5 > **Larry** | *25 November 2019* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Barracuda Web Security Gateway is a very easy to setup/manage security solution. It is extremely accurate and reporting capabilities are robust. > > **Cons**: There are no cons that I am aware of, the solution may be a little pricey for a smaller organization however. > > Once we installed the Web Security Gateway we could rest at ease knowing that employees could only access work related sites and having additional security is never a bad thing. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2047864/barracuda-web-security-gateway?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2047864/barracuda-web-security-gateway) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | ----- ## Structured Data
