User Testimonials
	Barracuda Forensics and Incident Response	BlackBerry Optics (CylanceOPTICS)
Likelihood to Recommend	Barracuda Networks, Inc. The Barracuda Forensics and Incident Response is best suited as an addition to the Barracuda Sentinel. After Barracuda Sentinel discovers a phishing email or account takeover, the Barracuda Forensics and Incident Response allows you to quickly dive into the details of the email(s) to determine if the email is legitimate or not. It does a very good job finding and deleting any and all emails related to the attack. Incentivized JG Jay Glatt Vice President of Technology Read full review	BlackBerry You can set rules based on specific scenarios to run on machines. For example, you can use this to enable or disable machine learning to block or allow things that users regularly use. You can also log specific attacks on machines (for research later).

Pros	Barracuda Networks, Inc. Easy user interface Simple application with 2 tasks only Integrated in the Barracuda Total Email Security Suite Incentivized IQ IGNACE QUAGHEBEUR ICT Manager Read full review	BlackBerry Maps out solid template frameworks. Makes reporting to executives easy to compile and understand. Incentivized John Keenan Director of Information Security Read full review
Cons	Barracuda Networks, Inc. If you own the total security suite, the use of the app becomes less important It would be nice to post a mail yourself in order to delete this mail from other mailboxes. If possible, it is not clear how to do this. Incentivized IQ IGNACE QUAGHEBEUR ICT Manager Read full review	BlackBerry No major complaints! Love everything about the service. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Barracuda Networks, Inc. The dashboard is intuitive and easy to use. One can create a remediation in a minute and have it deployed to remove a threatening email(s) in minutes, instead of hours, across your Exchange network. Incentivized JG Jay Glatt Vice President of Technology Read full review	BlackBerry No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Barracuda Networks, Inc. Barracuda has always been known for its support team. I have experienced that if you ever have any questions, issues, or problems with any of the Barracuda software, their support team is always available to help resolve your issue. Incentivized JG Jay Glatt Vice President of Technology Read full review	BlackBerry I haven’t seen that there is much support for it. It seems like a lot of trial and error is/will be involved. Incentivized John Keenan Director of Information Security Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Barracuda Networks, Inc. No answers on this topic	BlackBerry We use Cylance in conjunction with two other products. We have ArcticWolf for monitoring the machines at an even finer detail than Cylance (they can pick up things that can be missed). We also use Cisco Umbrella to block potentially malicious DNS queries. The combination of these three products helps us feel much more secure than if we had just one. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Barracuda Networks, Inc. It provides a uniform way of reporting bad mail. Without scripting knowledge, you can eliminate bad mail from users mailboxes. Incentivized IQ IGNACE QUAGHEBEUR ICT Manager Read full review	BlackBerry Addresses known gaps easily. Quick to implement. Incentivized John Keenan Director of Information Security Read full review
