Overall Satisfaction with Barracuda Essentials

The company acquired several security and backup solutions from Barracuda over these 4 years. We were looking for a solution to protect against advanced threats, spam, corporate email hacking and Office 365 and Barracuda Essentials was really a very positive protection surprise. The initial scenario was just the IT sector, and over the months and confidence in the tool has spread to other sectors and today almost everyone uses this protection tool in e-mail against any attack and invasion.
  • Easy deployment.
  • Protection against SPAM, phishing, ransonware, malware.
  • First-rate and efficient technical support.
  • Sand-box with lots of protection.
  • Documentation can be improved.
  • Reports can be improved.
  • Email protection has dramatically reduced attacks via spam, phishing and malware in all sectors.
  • Protection and encryption of input and output preventing data from being leaked from the internal network.
Whenever we needed to clear up any doubts or report a technical problem with some functionality of the barracuda solution, we were attended to immediately and with great precision in the answers. They explained well and resolved doubts quickly. I believe that they are well trained and ready to help customers.
