Barracuda Essentials vs. Trend Micro Deep Discovery Email Inspector

The Barracuda Essentials solution is definitely a great alternative to network security and especially corporate email to prevent employees from clicking on malicious links, spam, phishing, trojans and ransonware. The solution today is implemented in almost all sectors of the company and we have control of everything and good protection guaranteeing principles of compliance and security.

If you are using TrendMicro IMSVA then [Deep Discovery Email Inspector] is a must-have add-on. This is the most comprehensive email security protection you will need. However, if you want next-gen email security like reactive security like where the email is deleted from the user inboxes once the analysis determines that the email is phishing after it is delivered. Then this is not what you are looking for.

• 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.

• Scheduled Report Generation
• Spam Rules Definition
• Speed of UI/UX

Its the best email security gateway product I have used.

Barracuda Essentials is simple to use. It has a user dashboard that is simple to navigate even for those who have few computer skills. One can barely realize that the program is even running in the background heading off those emails that can cause damage to my computer or our overall system.
