Another day, another Fortinet vulnerability?
Tired of constantly patching your FortiGate firewalls? Try a truly cloud-based solution that stays secure without the need for frequent patches and updates.
Centrally manage vast numbers of firewalls and SD-WAN devices:
Enterprise (pool) licensing makes it simple for MSPs and distributed enterprises to centrally manage large hundreds or thousands of firewalls.
Full security, SD-WAN and ZTNA with zero upfront investment for MSPs
Barracuda CloudGen Firewall for MSP is licensed as an affordable monthly fixed-price subscription with no upfront fees, making it easy for MSPs to deploy and scale security without capital cost.
Automated zero-touch deployment and licensing without exposing credentials
Barracuda's zero-touch deployment lets you put firewalls in production quickly and safely, at very low cost. Confidential passwords, certificates and tokens are only shared between your Firewall Control Center and your firewalls.

Dynamic bandwidth detection and performance-based transport selection
Fortinet’s basic SD-WAN implementation is not able to apply SD-WAN principles to encrypted VPN traffic between sites. Its multi-transport capability is limited by the nature of the generic IPsec protocol. So when a tunnel goes bad, first the IPsec tunnel has to recognize it, and then routing needs to learn the new route. In some conditions, this may take minutes or hours.
Barracuda CloudGen Firewall uses the proprietary TINA VPN protocol to detect tunnel outages and bandwidth fluctuations instantly and then automatically establishes new pathways within a fraction of a second.
Daily administration, troubleshooting, and support
Barracuda CloudGen Firewall’s built-in tools make daily admin tasks fast and easy. Two available apps deliver timely, actionable reports, and Barracuda customer support is among the industry’s best.
With FortiGate, connections can be allowed and blocked in several places, with scattered information. Some blocked connections might not be logged anywhere, leaving you to sniff them via command line. The slow, kludgy FortiAnalyzer still leaves many users exporting logs directly to save time. And Fortinet support is known for being costly and often of poor quality.
