Cons

"Barracuda Email Security Gateway can improve reporting and anti-spam. The anti-spam engine is not working well. We are seeing a lot of problems where spam is going through the gateway. Additionally, access privilege should be given to the IT support, because they don't have a lot of privileges. We are forced to give our IT support administrative access in order to clear and deliver emails and this should not be happening."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of the interface, specifically the cloud interface, is a bit slow."
"The technical support is not available globally 24/7 and this is the biggest problem with the product."
"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."
"The deep scanning feature needs to be improved."
"Barracuda Email Security Gateway should include ATP in the next release."
"The scalability needs improvement, it's the only feature that is required."
"The solution's interface, which we get from an admin perspective, sometimes gets confusing."
"Trend Micro Email Security should introduce new features, improvements, and updates which are cost-effective and easy to deploy."
"I rate Trend Micro support four out of 10. The support in our region isn't very good. They do not respond quickly when we open up a case."
"I would like to see more integration of Trend Micro Email Security with different platforms."
"Sometimes malicious email gets past the email gateway."
"The enterprise security feature needs improvement."
"The initial setup was straightforward. This is a virtual appliance, it takes a short time to deploy the solution. However, it is not difficult if you understand the technology. You must have good knowledge of the email security area to set up the product correctly. There are many features in this solution and a high risk of having mistakes with the configuration."
"They need to adjust the spam filtering and make it stronger."
