SecureEdge Trial Guide

about 4 hours ago

To evaluate Barracuda SecureEdge for free, Barracuda Networks offers a trial subscription with quick and easy configuration steps. You can create a free trial subscription for Barracuda SecureEdge and set up a true SASE environment with full features for 30 days. With this subscription, you get a SecureEdge Access trial for 5 seats (users) and a Barracuda (SaaS) Edge Service trial with 50 Mbps of bandwidth. Using the trial subscription, you can easily explore the benefits of Barracuda SecureEdge. Note that the trial subscription is time restricted. You cannot extend your trial subscription. However, you can upgrade your free account subscription. 

Note that the trial subscription ends if you decide to buy the product. For this reason, the free trial subscription capacity (e.g., Edge Service 50Mbps and SecureEdge Access 5 seats) cannot be added to your upgraded subscription. 

This article covers how to start a SecureEdge trial and deploy ZTNA quickly and easily using the SecureEdge setup wizard.
