Security awareness training has reduced phishing risks and builds user resilience every day
Pros and Cons
  • "Barracuda Email Protection helps to strengthen the last line of defense, the human behind the keyboard."
  • "Barracuda Email Protection can be improved, as the setup was not as simple as it should have been."

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Barracuda Email Protection is that we regularly send out phishing line campaigns to our users to gauge engagement and implement training sessions with our users. It's a great way to see if the security training and awareness you are providing your users are paying dividends. We also use this to help train our users about the phishing and other forms of email attacks, as well as the general risk of cybercrime.

Barracuda Email Protection also allows us to test our endpoint protection product using a collection of file-based attacks.

What is most valuable?

The best features Barracuda Email Protection offers include training and reporting, SMS attack testing, and USB key attack testing.

When I mention SMS and USB key attack testing, I find it great for those without any security training tools, particularly small businesses or those without in-house security teams.

Barracuda Email Protection has positively impacted my organization by helping us meet requirements by our insurance to train users on the risk of phishing. However, the dated interface slows down what should be seamless adoption.

What needs improvement?

Barracuda Email Protection can be improved, as the setup was not as simple as it should have been. Additionally, some of the training that is supplied has a thick American accent which puts us off.

Making the interface less confusing is essential, as it is almost too powerful, which leads to confusion.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Barracuda Email Protection for six years and eight months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Barracuda Email Protection is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Barracuda Email Protection is very scalable.

How are customer service and support?

The customer support is very responsive and proactive.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before using Barracuda Email Protection, I used the KnowBe4 KCM GRC platform, which offered better prepared campaigns in the library and a more detailed platform with a lot of features.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a return on investment, as there are less problems for our security team, and our staff is more aware of how to use Barracuda Email Protection, as well as more aware of possible malware attacks via email.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing indicates that the cost was average. It was not expensive, neither was it affordable; it was average.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing Barracuda Email Protection, I evaluated other options, including Panda patch management and Barracuda backup.

What other advice do I have?

Barracuda Email Protection helps to strengthen the last line of defense, the human behind the keyboard.

My advice for others looking into using Barracuda Email Protection is that its security awareness training is well suited for any company that provides email to its employees.

I give this review a rating of nine.

Security awareness training has strengthened our defenses and prevents more email-based threats
Pros and Cons
  • "Barracuda Email Protection has positively impacted my organization by preventing possible malware attacks via emails, resulting in fewer password stealing incidents, more security awareness, and additional benefits."
  • "Barracuda Email Protection's filtering is very good but could be just slightly better; it does get 95% of the spam, but a couple get through in a week that are obviously spam."

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Barracuda Email Protection is to educate people on how to be more aware of security risks in enterprise and home environments, and it also helps bolster the human element of cybersecurity.

Through educating people, they learn how to prevent cyber insecurity and how they can handle cybersecurity when it appears.

What is most valuable?

The best features Barracuda Email Protection offers include education, preventing, ease of use, training implementation, and default libraries.

These features help my team educate people and make them aware of security risks.

Barracuda Email Protection has positively impacted my organization by preventing possible malware attacks via emails, resulting in fewer password stealing incidents, more security awareness, and additional benefits.

The additional benefits I mentioned are that Barracuda Email Protection has helped us learn more about other things that we did not know were present in our department or organization, so we have gained knowledge about other environments.

What needs improvement?

Barracuda Email Protection's filtering is very good but could be just slightly better; it does get 95% of the spam, but a couple get through in a week that are obviously spam.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Barracuda Email Protection for four years and nine months.

What other advice do I have?

My advice for others looking into using Barracuda Email Protection is that it is a good add-on for Office 365, and good guides are available to get set up to provide filtering quickly; it can give users the ability to approve their own blocked emails or set it to only allow admins to release, keeping a good audit log that details every action taken by support staff. I would rate this product highly based on my experience.
