"Its backups are valuable."
"I like Barracuda's cloud sandbox feature."

"We would like to have a local support center in India so that they are operating in the same time zone and speak the same language."
"Barracuda should add an option where it can add multiple domains, such as abc.com, bbc.com, and cbc.com. Therefore, this domains' emails will be allowed and other domains' emails will not be relayed through Barracuda Email Security Gateway. Whereas, if you allow the IP address, then any of the domain's emails will be relayed through Barracuda Email Security Gateway. That is the drawback that I have observed. So, Barracuda should work on this."
"The initial setup can be a little bit complex."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of the interface, specifically the cloud interface, is a bit slow."
"Barracuda could improve its log and export options like PDF and HDML. It can also bring in more detailing in their console so that it could be better. Some new features should be expanded and made accessible for better protection."
"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."
"The solution should add automatic alerts to the mobile."
"The URL filtering and handling should be enhanced because it doesn't support all languages. I believe that this would be easy to enhance in the future."
"The product could be improved by extending reporting tools and adding options for notification."
"The dashboard could use improvement."
"Fortinet FortiMail Cloud doesn't have AI features, making it an outdated tool for me."
"The tool's UI can be simple since it's cluttered now and you can't understand where you are going. It's not obvious to find out the menus or things that you are looking to find."
"Networking should be simplified."
"I can't see the feedback to the FortiMail gateway."
"They could look at strengthening anti-spam with the newly observed domains."
