This product is implemented at several of my clients and in use as their Antispam system. It works as a cloud filtering system that scans and quarantines email prior to it reaching user mailboxes.
- Filtering system is very strong, more often than not blocks bad email.
- Does fine job filtering and configuring content filtering for extension types such as ZIP or RAR.
- Intermediary between Internet and email system provides extra layer of security including ability to spool email in the event of an email system outage.
- Outbound encryption feature is very useful for security purposes.
- The onsite appliances have end-of-life forcing an upgrade to new unit.
- Many of the appliances have been end-of-life and seems McAfee may not be offering the service in the future.
- The end-of-life of appliances is unfortunate as it forces a purchase of a replacement unit. Barracuda devices have a 4-year refresh cycle so purchasing additional hardware is rarely necessary.
- McAfee seems to be phasing out the service over time.
Barracuda provides two product options, the ESS cloud-only filtering, and onsite Email Security Gateway appliances. Unless compliance needs require the on-premises device, the ESS option easily beats the McAfee Email Gateway.
