I replaced a per-user email filtering service with a highly-available Barracuda solution
What do you like best about the product?
Once an organization reaches a certain number of mailboxes, using a Barracuda spam filtering appliance is more cost-effective than paying a third party spam filtering service.
What do you dislike about the product?
Configuring two appliances for high availability is more difficult than it needs to be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When running an on-premises email environment (Exchange in my case), you have to have a solution in place to quarantine potentially dangerous emails. and allow users to view the quarantine and release emails that are legitimate. For a small business it makes sense to pay a third party service at a per-user, per-month rate, but that becomes cost-prohibitive at scale. I moved a small oil-and-gas services company from third party spam filtering to a dual-Barracuda on-premises solution and recognized about $25,000 in annual cost savings.

A game changer!
What do you like best about the product?
Barracuda really helped us to reduce the number of spams to almost 90%. The GUI is very easy to manage. It felt like it is a plug and play device. Highly recommended.
What do you dislike about the product?
Spoofing mails are not very easily detectable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spam mails are thing of a past now. The most satisfying part is, if barracuda is not sure about any mail, it sends the mail to quarantined mail box. Where I have the full privilege to mark the mail as a safe one and deliver it to the intended recipient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a plug and play device and very easy installation. Highly recommended.
