Case Study: Harbinger Signs achieves simplified, secure networking and responsive support with Barracuda Networks' NextGen Firewall X

Sign Company Won Over by Barracuda NextGen Firewall X Protection, Personalized Service, and Support

Harbinger Signs, a 100‑employee sign manufacturer with headquarters in Florida and a satellite office in Texas, needed a simpler, more reliable way to secure its growing network. IT Director Robert Cabrera found the incumbent Cisco ASA difficult to configure and poorly supported, and SonicWALL options added per‑feature and per‑user fees and felt like upsells. Harbinger needed easy configuration, secure remote (Mac) VPN, centralized management, no hidden costs, and responsive support.

Harbinger selected the Barracuda NextGen Firewall X300 (with Instant Replacement) after hands‑on demos and strong technical support. Barracuda’s team guided configuration, enabled Mac VPN, and helped troubleshoot legacy ASA issues. The result was an intuitive, centrally managed firewall with responsive support, no per‑user license fees, and a vendor relationship focused on partnership rather than upselling.
