Barracuda ESG, flawless email threat protection
- The Barracuda [Email Security Gateway] cloud based fail over protection is worth the cost all by itself.

Easy and simple to use email filtering system
- It reduces the time people need to spend filtering out the spam from their inbox.
- It keeps the network secure by filtering out any emails with any viruses or malicious attachments.

A great email security solution with simple implementation and very cost effective.
- 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.

Highly recommend this product!
- This has saved lots of time from an administrative standpoint.
- The cost of ESS for our organization is tiny compared to the amount of money we would lose if even one virus-laden PDF slipped through
- Ignoring genuine malware/phishing, the cost of ESS for our organization is tiny compared to the amount of money we save by blocking regular spam (so employees don't ever see it)
- From an administrator's perspective, putting the reins in the hands of our employees so they can look at their own quarantine (and leave IT out of it) has saved us 💵DOLLA 💸DOLLA💵BILLS 💸Y'ALL💵
