Doesn't get easier or better!
What do you like best about the product?
The Barraucuda Forensics and Incident Response (FIR) is easy to use and allows you to immediately identify, verify, and mitigate a problem within a few minutes. Without FIR you may not even know if there was a problem, and it may take hours to find and resolve.
Many email scanners handle incoming email only, but with Barracuda Essentials you get incoming and outgoing email scanning.
The Archiving feature, with it's unlimited retention and storage, is a great way to dive into historical emails for research or legal inquiries.

What do you dislike about the product?
The Cloud Control web access to the ESS can sometimes be slow and/or drag a bit. But other than that I can't find anything that is a negative.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Besides the obvious benefits of email scanning for viruses and malware, the FIR portion of the ESS is incredible. We have already stopped one account takeover, whereby the users account was logged in from someone in Turkey (we are in California/USA). The FIR immediately notified us and within a few clicks we were able to stop the takeover and change the users password. In the past, we would have not known about something like this or found it too late - and I now have to wonder if this did happen before and we just never knew about it.
For ransomware, phishing and scamming, the FIR continuously monitors suspicious activity and alerts us. We have the ability to instantly look at the suspicious email and determine if we want to delete it from the users inbox(s) and then block the offending email address and/or domain, or if it is a false positive, we can report it as such back to Barracuda. It is constantly learning.

Barracuda helps manage the dangerous waters of Email Threats!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the daily emails showing the emails that have been scanned and are awaiting my disposition.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could be a little easier to log into when not using the email shortcut. Sometimes, when I go straight to the website and login, it doesn't take me to my home page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Email threats are constant. Barracuda is very successful in helping us filter out all non-essential emails to limit our potential exposure to email threats.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ease of use and effectiveness gives great cost benefit.
Just the Basics
What do you like best about the product?
Just like the name implies, you get the essentials. But what's great about this product is that you get them for stupid cheap. That is definitely what's best.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, this product should come with a warning label. No serious company should just purchase this. They really really should tack on the Sentry product too. For protection against modern day attacks, consider sentry essential, haha.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We stopped 95% of bad emails coming in. Most of these were bulk email, dmarc, spf, or phishing reasons, but it does do a good job of stopping them.

GET SENTRY AS WELL!!!!
Barracuda Essentials is the best way to protect and support your tech
What do you like best about the product?
Today's workforce has become very independent on technology, which is not always dependable in a variety of situations. Barracuda essentials has really made the exchanging of emails, not only dependable but extremely convenient for organizing and backing up emails.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are few things I dislike about the software, although I do wish it sent fewer notifications as I feel at times I'm being flagged for viruses that are nonexistent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its a great tool for managing email accounts and backing up the information recorded in them for later review, if they ever need (especially because we have become incredibly dependent on technology).
Barracuda Essentials is a must have tool for Office 365 users
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, good support services, easy to setup
What do you dislike about the product?
Little difficult purchasing, had to use a vendor, so pretty sure the issue was with them.
