Likelihood to Recommend I've experienced clicking some of the phishing and spam emails, but Agari Phishing Defense identified those actions I've done and sent me the details of each and every part of the email where the attack is. Very often Agari Phishing Defense misses a few emails to report the malicious emails. But, it also has a solution to report the email and responds immediately with the answer.

Barracuda Essentials provides excellent protection from Phishing and other Malware. Barracuda Essentials email encryption is so easy to use and easy to setup. Our users love it. Read full review Cons A vital business tool, but at a somewhat high cost for small businesses. Some new functions are not quite responsive, so adding them after they have been completed would be ideal. Simplifying your registration would be a great help in saving time. Having adequate knowledge to handle the software makes it easier to use it and allows it to function properly. Read full review Encryption is always on. There's NO way to turn it off so false encryption leads to real issues. Many banks and other companies cannot read/accept encrypted email. There should be a "Do Not Encrypt" type of keyword to prevent encryption (competing products have this). There's no indication an email was encrypted (like with Proofpoint or ZIX mail). MSP management interface needs work. You have to request licenses by email and wait. Pretty archaic today. Most competing product sites let MSP's increase/decrease licensing as needed, immediately.
