Robust email protection with advanced features such as effective spam filtering, virus and malware defense, phishing protection and high scalability

Pros

" It not only tackles spam effectively but also incorporates advanced features like ATP and active features which ensures a comprehensive and adaptable email security solution tailored to their heterogeneous environment."

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the management of multiple domains."

The feature that sets the solution apart is the Office 365 cloud-to-cloud backup.

Pros

"The feature that sets Barracuda apart from other solutions is the Office 365 cloud-to-cloud backup. "

Cons

"The UI could be a little cleaner and require less clicking around in different modules. They give the illusion of a single pane of glass, but as you click around to different products, you're actually being transferred into a different system. "

Useful zero-day protection, effective reporting, and helpful support

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the Barracuda Email Security Gateway is the cloud ATP functionality not available on the on-premise version. Most of the zero-day attacks can be mitigated with ATP. Additionally, the reporting functionality is good."

Cons

"My customers were sending OPT bulk emails and Barracuda Email Security Gateway was not able to handle it. We have to go with another different solution, such FortiMail for the task. We are implementing these combinations of the Barracuda and FortiGate, for email security. The FortiGate FortiMail security gateway we use to send only the bulk email, not for receiving emails. "

Great features with good threat management and antivirus capabilities

Pros

"All features it provides on the cloud environment are very, very useful, including the antivirus that is enabled on it. "

Cons

"There are some times when legit emails are trapped on Barracuda and we are unable to get that information unless we actually log on to the network to find out."

Provides immediate deployment capability and highly scalable solution

Pros

"One advantage is its immediate deployment capability. So the fast speed to deploy is a big plus point. "

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the speed of the interface, specifically the cloud interface, is a bit slow."

It has strong support and good cloud features, but spam filtering could be improved

Pros

"I like Barracuda's cloud sandbox feature. "

Cons

"Barracuda's spam database isn't on par with its competitors. Users complain about the spam email they're receiving, and we report the issue. Barracuda said they are going to update their system to block the malicious email we received, but we're still getting the same spam. The signatures are not in their database. They need to update their spam signatures because spam is bypassing Barracuda. "

Great message tracking and messaging logs but has a complex setup

Pros

"It can scale. "

Cons

"The initial setup can be a little bit complex."

Product discussed: 300
Provides us with good email security maturity, keeping our employees productive by blocking unwanted email

Pros

"The spam filtering, in particular, is very important for us. We have a large volume of emails each month, something like 200,000, and Barracuda filters about 85 percent of the spam, malware, and phishing that comes in. It prevents our users from receiving this content on their computers."

Cons

"We still have critical threats coming into our environment and delivered to our users. When we compare it with other solutions, these other solutions can already detect those threats."
