User Testimonials
	Barracuda Forensics and Incident Response	Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR
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	Palo Alto Networks Malware that doesn’t leave files behind has become widely available. Anyone who can afford to reverse this trend should purchase technology. Application whitelisting isn’t for everyone, and Palo Alto Networks Traps can help. Enterprises looking for a low-affected, next-generation solution with high protection should consider it. PAN Traps is a great product at a reasonable price, and I highly recommend it.

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	Palo Alto Networks Direct Access to devices via Live Terminal which provides operations with scripting, triage, and preservation of artifacts. Behavioral Indicators of Compromise which provides alerts on events regarding groups of hosts and their signatures. Querying complex data sets involving a variety of devices for network connections, hashes, DNS, etc. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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	Palo Alto Networks Traps doesn't seem to function as a traditional A/V very well, so it's better as another layer to your endpoint protection Traps can cause issues with some legacy or custom programs, so exceptions may have to be made Traps falsely identifies things as malicious at times, this is not often though 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	Palo Alto Networks Day to day, Cortex is easy to use when you have no alerts and when an agent upgrade doesn't go south. Alerts are far too "clicky", there's too many steps to drilling down to what actually happened to trigger an alert. Investigating alerts in Cortex takes about 5x longer than it should.

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	Palo Alto Networks The support we receive from Palo Alto is one of the best aspects of Traps. It is very easy to recommend their support. It seems much easier to connect directly with someone with a deep understanding of the product rather than other companies where you basically have to make an airtight case that it is some kind of non-standard issue that can't be solved with existing documentation. Palo Alto digs deep and helps with advanced troubleshooting to get things working. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Barracuda Networks, Inc. No answers on this topic	Palo Alto Networks Traps is the slickest interface, easy to use and intuitive rule making, and the rest just didn't quite stack up to the performance level of Traps. McAfee and Kaspersky just hog processor and RAM power. I didn't like the interface and functionality of SentinelOne as much as Traps. Palo Alto really put a lot of time into the development of this software, and had some of the founding fathers of IT Security heading the development process. Can't beat that.

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	Palo Alto Networks After putting Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR on a user's system, users came back with a positive response that there are no performance issues now. We are able to track and control granular suspicious and malicious activities. Web controls are missing, which if they would have been there would have been very helpful.
