Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Office 365

Office 365, while having a robust spam filter, is not as customizable or easy to use as Barracuda Email Security Service in my opinion. It is easier to recover email using Barracuda Email Security Service as well as finding messages that have been blocked. Support is much easier to use and they are way more helpful.

Other Software Used

Microsoft Office 365

Likelihood to Recommend

Barracuda Email Security Service is well suited for a larger business environment or a Managed Service Provider who supports multiple clients. Barracuda Email Security Service would not be well suited for a small environment or a small business. It would be way too much for a small business and it wouldn't be utilized to its full potential.

Barracuda Email Security Service is Great for MSP!
