Barracuda Email Security Gateway Reviews

Barracuda Email Security Gateway can be deployed on the cloud or on-premise.

Barracuda Email Security Gateway is similar to a traditional spam filter but provides more features. It protects you from the attacks that are coming through your emails. It scans and filters your email, and delivers them.

The most important features of Barracuda Email Security Gateway are the simple and quick configuration, interactive console, and easy-to-understand logs.

Barracuda Email Security Gateway can improve email detection. We have some emails that are bypassing the threat scanning. There are some impersonation emails passing through.

I have been using Barracuda Email Security Gateway for approximately five years.

Barracuda Email Security Gateway is good. However, the appliance will have some challenges, after three years of use we have some performance issues in some boxes.

The Barracuda Email Security Gateway is scalable when in the cloud.

We are using devices that support 5,000 users. We have been hiring more employees now that the lockdown from covid is slowing down. 

I used Proofpoint and Check Point previously. 

The initial setup of Barracuda Email Security Gateway is straightforward. It can be done in quickly by experts or if you follow the wizard it can be done in 30 minutes.

We have one engineer for the deployment and maintenance of Barracuda Email Security Gateway.

We typically purchase a one or three-year license for Barracuda Email Security Gateway.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Barracuda Email Security Gateway a seven out of ten.

Barracuda Email Security Gateway is used to protect users' email inboxes from malicious threats coming from outside of the network. For example, it can be a malicious link or some malware as an attachment. If these threats are sent to our users, then it blocks and deletes the email.

The most valuable feature of Barracuda Email Security Gateway is that it blocks almost 99 percent of threats from users' email inboxes.

Barracuda Email Security Gateway should add auto-remediation to improve the solution. Additionally, there are times when we have false positives and our general emails get locked, we have mentioned this to Barracuda.

I have been using Barracuda Email Security Gateway for three years.

Barracuda Email Security Gateway is a stable solution.

Barracuda Email Security Gateway is a cloud solution, therefore it is highly scalable.

Everyone in our company is using this solution. It is protecting 10,000 users' inboxes. We do not plan to increase users.

The technical support is good, we did not find any issues with them.

We were using another security tool previously. We were looking for an advanced tool that helps us to log more threats and incident management. This is why we chose Barracuda Email Security Gateway.

The initial setup of Barracuda Email Security Gateway is straightforward. The process can take approximately 15 to 20 days.

We did the implementation of the solution ourselves without a partner.

We have a long agreement with Barracuda Email Security Gateway. We're very pleased with the cost and the solution. The cost is in the average range for this type of solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Barracuda Email Security Gateway an eight out of ten.

The Anomaly-based spam detection is a very good feature of Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall, since it not only keeps track of the Anomalies, but also protects and notifies any illegitimate attachments, content, as well as the suspicious source from which an email is arriving/contained in the email.

Another important feature that organizations are looking for is the Integration with LDAP and Active Directory. This Device has a capability to easily integrate with the AD connected with the Exchange environment.

Based on a true case, we had been receiving emails from different countries on a bulk scale containing malware.

Before the installation of Barracuda, we were only able to identify the threat on the Endpoint level, but after installing the Spam Filter, it keeps track of each and every activity done in an email.

Two things:

1) The backup and recovery of the rule set stored in the device.

2) In denial of service condition, the events-per-second flow creates little jerk in term of delay.

When we are considering the enterprise security, we are interested in adding the additional controls in the environment. Barracuda device has a weak distinction‎ in its backup and recovery

Let me share a practical example: We have a Barracuda installed in a primary and backup location, it's difficult to include the exact configuration of a primary device to backup device, it has a time constraint ‎and effort based work. This area should be considered, as Barracuda has established their good appearance in the market.

Another area that should be considered for improvement ‎is the constant DoS attacks and bulk messages in the form of spam appearance on the device.

In a case of denial, condition on a ratio of 1200 to 1800 events per second would downgrade the performance of the device.

This was my practical role in testing the capability of this device, apart from the above two areas of improvement, this device has marvelous results in term of capacity, content, sources, and attachments.

I've used this solution for two years.

Not yet.

Not yet.

Best.

Lack of technical support and very delayed responses in the case of an incident.

Straightforward, even easy to install.

Pricing options should be considered by the Barracuda management, as per country market research. They should consider the economy and the country-technology ratio.

We have evaluated more than eight products of known vendors, and out of eight, we decided on this one.

I would suggest implementing Barracuda Spam, because this solution has a multi-factor threat analysis engine, which other products don't have.

We use the solution to protect our email, domain, and users against spear phishing, spamming, malware, and malicious attacks regarding attachments and URLs.

The most valuable features are filtering and rate controlling. They are good and are required to avoid having low IP, email, and domain reputations.

Sometimes, Barracuda Blacklist blocks the general IP list from the source domains. They block the genuine sources, too.

I have been using Barracuda Email Security Gateway as an integrator for two years.

The product is 100% stable.

The solution is very much scalable. We have ten customers in the Middle East and five customers in India.

The customer support is very good compared to other solutions.

We’ve used Mimecast before. We had a support issue that we couldn't resolve. Barracuda offered a more scalable and cost-effective solution with the features and support we needed.

The initial setup is very easy, compatible to manage, and takes a maximum of three hours to complete.

Since we are using MP65, we procure the SaaS model. We generally follow the same process for SaaS to deploy the solution.

We’ve already invested 100 Euros, roughly 10lakh rupees, and received 30-50% ROI.

I recommend the solution, especially for email security, load balancing, and journaling.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We use Barracuda Email Security Gateway for securing emails.

Barracuda Email Security Gateway is very simple to use. The solution is predominantly suited for less than 10,000 mailboxes. Barracuda Email Security Gateway has a simple dashboard.

Barracuda Email Security Gateway should include ATP in the next release.

I have worked with Barracuda Email Security Gateway for the last 15 years.

It's easy to use. The configuration and web interface are user-friendly. The spam filter and other features work well.

Barracuda Email Security Gateway helps me filter many emails each day. The tool for sending emails is easy to configure. In my company, we send a high volume of emails daily. Barracuda system is useful.

The most valuable feature is the spam filter.

Barracuda should have a sandbox feature in the appliances. That's the only thing missing. In my company, we have four appliances, and we have to use a third-party brand for sandboxing.

Moreover, sometimes phishing emails still pass through, which is a drawback. I would say it's about 80% to 90% effective.

I have been working with this solution for seven years. We have deployed it on VMware. Moreover, we are using Barracuda Email Security Gateway 400.

Stability is a ten.

I rate the scalability of Barracuda an eight out of ten.

The initial setup was easy. I had to change all the appliances in the past due to a hardware refresh, but configuring the new appliances was easy.

It's a good investment. We've seen a significant return on investment.

In my opinion, I only have experience with Barracuda so I might recommend it. But, I would suggest exploring other options as well, like Microsoft, to have a better understanding.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Our customers use the solution for security.

The solution can be deployed on-premise and in the cloud.

The most valuable feature of Barracuda Email Security Gateway is the complete capabilities it provides. Additionally, the phishing security and sandbox features are effective.

The solution should add automatic alerts to the mobile.

I have been using Barracuda Email Security Gateway for approximately 10 years.

The stability of Barracuda Email Security Gateway is great.

I rate the stability of Barracuda Email Security Gateway a ten out of ten.

The solution is used by more than 2,000 users.

I rate the scalability of Barracuda Email Security Gateway a nine out of ten. 

We do not have any regional support in my area. We are having to provide all of the support ourselves.

I have used other solutions in the past but switched because Barracuda Email Security Gateway has a lot more features and became the leader.

The initial setup of Barracuda Email Security Gateway is simple for the cloud base version. It takes approximately one hour for the deployment.

We use two people for the deployment of the solution.

The price of the solution should be reduced. The price in the USA is less than where we are. Our local distributor of the solution is manipulating the market. 

The price of the solution can range from €6,000 to €23,000. The on-premise version is expensive. However, if it is on the cloud the price is better.

I rate the price of Barracuda Email Security Gateway a six out of ten.

The price is approximately 30 percent more than others on the market.

If the solution is configured correctly then the maintenance is low. We are able to check the solution for our customers. We use two people for the maintenance if needed.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Barracuda Email Security Gateway an eight out of ten.

This is a total email security solution.

This product is powerful and quite simple to use.

It has a unified interface for archiving, security, and backup, all put together into one portfolio.

This product has phenomenal anti-phishing capabilities.

I would like to have better integration with third-party archival vendors to facilitate moving data in and out. This is definitely an area that should be worked on.

Having better user admin controls from an application perspective would also be helpful.

We have been using the Barracuda Email Security Gateway for about a year.

It is very stable and we have had no issues.

Because it is a cloud subscription, it is updated automatically.

In terms of scalability, we haven't had any issues. We have more than 100 users. There are a couple of administrators but most of them are end-users.

The Barracuda support is far better than Trend Micro.

Prior to Barracuda, we were using Trend Micro InterScan Messaging Security, and then we were using Symantec's Email Security. We now have all of the features that we want in a single product.

Working with Trend Micro is a little bit tricky at this point in time.

This solution is very easy to install. It took us a couple of days to deploy.

We pay between $8 and $10 USD per user per month.

Overall, this is a good product with wonderful security capabilities and I definitely recommend it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
