Barracuda Spam Firewall 400 review

Thursday 19 January 2006, 5:37 PM

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT


Barracuda seemed like a great deal. The price for the box was good. Then came then additional fees. Updates and replacement. I had this box crash after 10 months of operation. When I called tech support to get a fix/replacement, there was no support. They informed my that in order to replace the box I needed their replacement warranty. The box is only warrantied for 90 days. No other options are available. It's either pay more money for their warranty which they back date to the time of purchase or be stuck with a dead box.
