Baracuda Review
What do you like best about the product?
the site is easy to navigate - i am usually able to recover my archieved emails in a matter of minutes with all of the different filter options. it is nice to be able to clear out my email inbox since that runs out of space so frequently.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is outdated - the overall look and feel of the archiever makes it feel like it is 1990. i like the blue tones but the font and setup is very outdated. the font also hurts my eyes. the prerences tab also doesnt make any sense, it just allows you to go to the password page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
sometimes our emails get blocked when they dont necessarily need to be, but i am sure our IT depeartment would not consider this an issue. Similiar issue with websites in that some are blocked when they don't need to be.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
none at thie time.
Secure, Safe and Reasonable
What do you like best about the product?
We used Barracuda email security for at least 5 years at my job (Im still not sure why we switched) First let me say that the spam filtering works exactly as it should when configured correctly.
That said, sometimes its hard to find a balance between white listing everything and white listing nothing. I have to also say, the Barracuda support team is top notch and one of the best I have ever dealt with.

What do you dislike about the product?
The process of tweaking the whitelist can be a bit frustrating, but that is going to be true with any type of solution for this matter. I cant think of anything else that I do not like about this solution.

We have cut down on spam. Workers are more productive and our inboxes have remained secure and safe from hoaxes and virus attacks.

It also helps if a user has deleted an external email by mistake we can retrieve it from the appliance and re-send it to them.

Some settings are difficult. For example if you want to secure your network and make sure only certain machines are allowed to send emails there are 2 different places you need to add the IP to in order to set it up.

SPAM has really been minimized, and virus protection is a nice plus.

Barracuda - The email gateway that learns
What do you like best about the product?
Barracuda has probably one of the most intuitive designs of Email Security Gateways. The appliance learns on the fly what is spam and what isn't and can also make the decisions to send it to a quarantine mailbox or just block
What do you dislike about the product?
Unless you pay for a certain version, the appliance cannot be monitored with services like LogicMonitor and ManageEngine
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ability to manage multiple domains from a single portal.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would like to see better descriptions of what functions do. For example, when I go to content policies, explain to me what theses functions do. There is no guide or obvious descriptions, I had to learn just by trial and error. I don't want to have to go as far as contacting support or posting on a community board just to figure out what a tab does. The tab should have a description at the top after clicking on it summarizing what the purpose of the tab is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Preventing spam and malware attempts to our end user. Ability to scan attachments before the email is delivered.
Great easy to use firewall

We have been using our Barracuda Email Security Gateway for years, it provides a good level of mail filtering, with a easy to use interface. Never had any problems with uptime, and processes around 10k mails a day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use a free trial before purchasing, also consider putting this in the cloud rather than on premise.
