Why are there field extraction issues when indexing Barracuda Web Security Gateway via syslog?

We've been indexing logs from our Barracuda Web Security Gateway via our syslog server with a default sourcetype of syslog. It works ok but doesn't pull out all the fields and field extraction is hit or miss, as the logs aren't consistent. I've tried the various Barracuda apps and TA's on splunkbase, both current and archived, with no success. Has anyone else solved this problem?
