Hey there!


If anyone has experience using Barracuda 660v WAF, it would be great to hear your insights! I'm particularly interested in understanding its major feature limitations when compared to F5 BIG-IP WAAP.

Feel free to share your thoughts in a casual and informal manner.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

At a high level, F5 WAAP is delivered via Distributed Cloud. So, you would use the F5 cloud infrastructure to provide this protection, prior to requests going to your origin servers. Instead of maintaining a Barracuda virtual appliance, and mucking around with maintenance (upgrades), you would shift this task onto F5 where they provide incremental updates to the WAAP solution themselves (as they host it). Lot less work for you 🙂
