Overall Satisfaction with Barracuda Email Security Gateway
We use Barracuda Email Security as our primary SEG inside of our organization, as well as using their impersonation protection service to warn users of possible advanced phishing and impersonation emails coming to their inbox. We primarily use Barracuda to stop spam, malware, and phishing emails that are coming to our users, as well as get accurate counts on email flow and traffic.
- Spam blocking
- Easy block/allow list
- Email traffic charts
- Should be easier to use
- Needs to implement SSO support.
- Complicated setup
- Support should be easier to reach
- Lack of SSO support has made us weary of trusting the products security features.
- Most features are sold in modules, basic ESS is lackluster.
- We have seen a vast increase in false positives and undetected malicious emails in our environment over time with Barracuda.
- Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), Microsoft Exchange and Mimecast Secure Email Gateway
Barracuda was selected purely on a need and cost basis during the course our selection for an SEG. We needed a tool that could be set up fairly quickly and block and detect against spam and malicious emails. It did not compare in efficacy or ease of use to Mimecast, however it was chosen due to being a more effective price and having similar features.
