A great email security solution with simple implementation and very cost effective.
Our entire organization consisting of Police, Fire, Public Works, IT, Community Development, Park, etc., are affected by the use of our Barracuda Email Gateway. We have been using our appliance and recently cloud service for around 10 years. The gateway helps remove nearly all malicious messages including phishing.
- The intent analysis has learned what types of messages are malicious and stops most phishing emails.
- Barracuda is frequently updating and adding new security features.
- The cloud gateway was recently added a part of the energize updates. This keeps all malicious emails away from our network before sending the emails to our on premise appliance.
- The appliance has a feature to block all office macros. This is a great feature but only has an on/off setting. I would like to see the additional of allowing exclusions for users who need to receive office macros.
- The feature for email encryption is great and allows us to not require an additional product or service for this. Unfortunately this is similar to the office macro feature and does not allow exclusions. The setting automatically detects information like credit cards, social security numbers, and other sensitive information. I have a user who works with Japanese companies. Japanese phone numbers apparently trigger the SSN filter. I wish I could put an exclusion in for this recipient or sender.
- I wish the appliance had an auto firmware update option. Where non major releases would be automatically installed.

- The gateway learns current scam which can prevent unmeasureable damage. As a government organization attacks on our network affect public safety.
- Previous gateways I have managed have required significant amounts of time grooming. The Barracuda gateway has freed up a great deal of my time due to its intelligence and intent scanning.
- I have very few incidences where a legitimate malicious email will pass through the filter. Just one of these emails can wreak havoc on an organization.
Forcepoint Email Security, formerly Websense, had poor intent analysis and learning. I spent a large portion of my time tagging spam emails that were not blocked. Barracuda consistently improves their offering and stays current with trend of malicious messages.

Barracuda never lets the phishing take you down.
We are currently using it for the whole organization. We recently upgraded and added more services like Barracuda Sentinel. We addressed the phishing issues that our exec teams were experiencing. We are now backing up everything. Including MS OneDrive. Searching in the Cloud is so much quicker now.
- Very good at scanning and Stopping bad phishing and spam emails.
- We are able to control the volume of emails going out and coming into system.
- We are able to set up reports for the end users on what is getting blocked and then are able to release them.
- When doing a mass email, it's very restrictive and I could not make the needed changes myself. Had to call and get them to make the needed changes for outbound mail.
- When a bounce back message hit the users - it makes it seem that the entire mass mailing didn't go out. We always have to explain that it was maybe one or two emails that had an issue.
- Had an issue where our out external email out of office message was hitting the end user spam.

- We are also very happy about being able make our backups easier.
- We like having everything in one place.
We previously had Trend Micro scanning our email before we moved to Barracuda. Again [it's better] cost wise and is easier to use.

Barracuda Spam Firewall Fits Our Needs
Barracuda is currently used to filter our emails, both inbound and outbound. It helps us eliminate the hundreds of thousands of spam, scams, and malware coming in to our email users. Without it our users email inboxes would be so full of junk that we could not carry on business in an very efficient way at all.

- it is easy to find blocked emails and whitelist them.
- Ease of navigation of UI. Ability to specify message content filter allow actions by subject, header, body, attachments, etc.
- Great Tech Support. I have always been able to call or email and get a prompt answer from their technician who is understandable and knowledgeable. I have found them willing to answer questions and provide some education at the same time.
- The annual renewal prices could be better, but for the quality of the product we don't even hesitate to renew it annually.
- The UI isn't completely Robust, but once you get used to it it's great!
- Cannot access quarantined email from mobile phone
- We have cut down on spam. Workers are more productive and our inboxes have remained secure and safe from hoaxes and virus attacks.
