Robust email protection with advanced features such as effective spam filtering, virus and malware defense, phishing protection and high scalability
Our customer faced a significant challenge with spam, leading to increased expenses. The complexity of their email infrastructure added to the issue, with some clients using Microsoft Exchange, others relying on different systems, and some operating on Linux platforms. To address this, we…

Has an easy implementation phase to deal with for users
I primarily use the product in our daily security operations since it is implemented in all of our company's systems and is used in our environment. Normally, email security tools like FireEye or Trellix help to protect ourselves from spam, malware, and other email-oriented threats. The tool is used extensively in our company's environment. It is more like a collaboration email security that is used in our company. Whether my company plans to increase the number of users of the product or not is something that depends on the growth of the organization. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. The product is stable and reliable, considering the results my company gets out of it. When it comes to Trellix or FireEye Endpoint Security (HX), the tools offer antivirus as well as the modern real-time security feature, which is used to automate the detection and protection of the endpoints against all the security threats that are currently there in the industry. I don't see any challenges with the integration part of the product, but since a different team manages it, I don't have visibility into it. In terms of the value offered by the product, the solution does help our company protect data and the complete infrastructure. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product safeguards user mail for gateway defense, data protection, business continuity, AI-based inbox defense, and automated threat detection and incident response."
"It is very simple to whitelist addresses."
"The solution helps us to block some blacklisted emails."
"Before this solution, we didn't have any separate feature for protecting our emails. We used to only have a firewall but now we have email security. It has a graphical interface and we can see the log every time. We can see that the performance is fine."
"It is lightweight, and we can filter all of our inbound and outbound emails. We have controls for rate control, quarantine, and tagging. We can see whether an email is a spam email or a phishing email."
"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."
"We find the email security to be valuable."
"The most important features of Barracuda Email Security Gateway are the simple and quick configuration, interactive console, and easy-to-understand logs."
"FireEye Email Security is easy to use."
"The product protects my email."
"I like FireEye's filtering, spam digests, and its advanced threat review of email flow. It also has a broad range of riskware rules you can deploy."
"The auto-remediation feature is valuable."
"The initial setup is simple."
"We have had very good results from the use of FireEye Email Security. We are very comfortable with this technology, but I don't know if it's necessary to move into the cloud, we will check other technologies and study them. Additionally, the solution has good integration."
"One of the valuable features of the product stems from the fact that it is easy to implement the tool in our environment."
"The product helps reduce the number of malicious emails reaching the user's inbox."
 

Cons

"The DMARC security is somewhat weak and could be strengthened."
"I have noticed that it takes a little time to get familiar with after deploying and some tweaks need to be done as things come up."
"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."
"Artificial intelligence improvement could be used to help block spam and phishing mail that is directly delivered to users."
"Barracuda should have a sandbox feature in the appliances."
"Few customers require an on-premises fabric ATP box for attack detection and response."
"I would like to have better integration with third-party archival vendors to facilitate moving data in and out."
"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."
"Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox."
"If they want to be the primary or best solution, they need to have better email management features."
"I would like the solution to be able to automatically quarantine the malicious emails before getting to the user's mailbox and continue with regular email operations. This could result in the user clicking the email before the purge operation is completed."
"The solution must provide features to scan QR codes for threats."
"I would like to see this solution become more flexible."
"In general, our company should make the tool more robust to protect our systems."
"The solution is not easy to set up. However, we have employees that have the knowledge that can do the difficult implementation. It would be better if the process was easier."
"The solution needs better support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Barracuda Email Security Gateway is a cost-effective solution."
"As far as advanced email security systems, this product is mid-range on the pricing scale."
"We find the solution's pricing okay."
"There is an annual license required for this solution."
"The licensing fees are part of a bundled support package that we pay for."
"For overall value and cost, Barracuda came in as most appropriate, price as well as services provided. In terms of price, it's average . It's not the most expensive, it's not the least expensive but it works well."
"The price of this solution is very high, but it's working fine."
"This is one of the major points for integrating this solution in any organization. Barracuda Email Security Gateway needs to make it a bit more tolerable for customers because it is increasing every year. They should create a plan for reducing the cost."
"The cost is very high."
"The solution requires a license to be purchased for every user."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"I rate the product price as nine out of ten, where ten is the most expensive, and one is the cheapest. There is no need to pay any extra charges apart from the licensing costs."
