Very good threat protection, spam filtering, and cloud backups

Pros

"The most helpful aspect for me is the out-of-the-box configuration, which is fairly good."

Cons

"Considering it integrates with Azure, I would like to be able to effectively set up policies where people are by default included in certain settings. "

Set-it-and-forget-it type of product that doesn't require a lot of management

Pros

"We now have a secondary backup of Office 365 that's much easier to retrieve compared to Microsoft. If someone deletes something in Office 365, we can get it back within Office 365, but it's difficult. Barracuda is much easier. There is a lot less management needed using Barracuda. The management becomes much easier for Office 365 and it's no longer on-prem, so there are fewer hours managing on-prem devices, servers, and things of that nature. We don't have network appliances anymore for the backup of our information."

Cons

"Sometimes it is somewhat laggy, especially on the Archiver side. It should have improved performance on their Message Archiver."

Filters spam emails and blocks frequent attacks and malicious emails

Pros

"We check the reports sometimes to see that frequent attacks and malicious emails are being blocked by the solution."

Cons

"Two to three months back, we got fraudulent emails in which someone in the organization was being blamed."

Efficient and easier to manage than other products, especially Microsoft products

Pros

"I'm quite satisfied with the graphical user interface for Barracuda products."

Cons

"The customer service and support could be improved if the support were available directly in Europe. Currently, the support is often managed from India, so we sometimes need to wait due to the time zone difference. It would be quicker and better if the support were provided by European staff."

Effective spam blocking, useful central management console, and exceptional support

Pros

"The most valuable features of Barracuda Essentials are it's a trusted name and is rated very high on review sites. It blocks high percentages of spam and junk email and it's in the cloud. They have hardware appliances, but this is in the cloud. The solution is very effective at blocking malware and blocking spam and this is what we are looking for. There's not a whole lot of complexity, you want a solution that is very good at blocking out all of the unwanted emails. "

Cons

"Barracuda Essentials can improve by continually adding more features."
