User Testimonials
	Barracuda Content Shield	Cyren DNS Security (Cyren Web Security)
Likelihood to Recommend	Barracuda Networks, Inc. Barracuda Content Shield is well suited to large companies with many employees that are based in many areas and have various aspects of their job that need them to be on the internet at all times and in many cases opening themselves to many threats. It may be less appropriate for small companies that are in individualized clusters Incentivized Thomas Baker, CFE, MBA Risk Advisory Senior Manager Read full review	Cyren For any form of company control on a larger scale where threats can have a very detrimental effect but not suited to SME scenarios was cost factor would be a key component and not require as much automation. Incentivized Lee Atkins IT Manager Read full review
