Overall Satisfaction with Barracuda Security Awareness Training (formerly Barracuda Phishline)

To test and educate our users in identifying Phish and other malicious emails. Protect our company and clients' data.
  • Send simulated phishing emails to users.
  • Educate users on phishing tricks.
  • Build confidence for users.
  • Training material identifying areas users need to improve on.
  • Perpetual testing and training option.
  • Need continuous testing.
  • Good simulation.
  • Believable phish templates.
  • It's free with email filtering.
Barracuda Phishline is free/included with essentials and sentinel solution. Not nearly the training level of KnowBe4. In fairness, even with better training the users that fall for phishing, keep failing even after KB4 or Barracuda training.

Phishing emails are fairly convincing. They do not educate the user where they failed and do not direct users to training to help them learn where they went wrong.
