Barracuda Email Security Gateway Reviews

The solution is directly used as a email service for inbound and outbound protection and as a spam gateway. When issues of spam are reported to the company then we can suggest Email Security Gateway for the customer.

Barracuda Email Security Gateway has features like identify the spam source, rules to avoid some specific spams and then reschedule. And there are some other features like the email continuity, the email server and gateway site, which  can relay the mail kit. The solution is user-friendly.These kind of features are the most valuable. 

Barracuda could improve its log and export options like PDF and HDML. It can also bring in more detailing in their console so that it could be better. 

Some new features should be expanded and made accessible for better protection.

I have experience Barracuda Email Security Gateway. 

It is a stable solution when the factory provides the the application access.

It is a scalable solution as it is hosted in the cloud. 

The technical support team is good as they respond immediately. 

The initial setup is easy as it is user-friendly only the console is lengthy but that is manageable. The solution was deployed in our organisation six months ago. For the deployment, the cloud version is suggested because the currently, the world emails are trying to migrate to the cloud solutions. 

The rate the overall solution a ten out of ten. 

We use Barracuda Email Security Gateway for threat protection.

It is a very different solution when it comes to anti-spam, anti-phishing, scanning, and it has API direct integration. There are plenty of features, such as sandboxing capabilities with zero threat protection. It has all the leading email security appliances compared to other solutions.

The solution could improve by adding DomainKeys (DKIM) functionality. This is something that is essentially required nowadays for outbound security. They do not have it on their on-premise solution appliance but they have alternate arrangements for their cloud solution. You cannot force clients to go to the cloud for one feature, it would be a great benefit to have it on-premise.

I have been using Barracuda Email Security Gateway for approximately 15 years.

The solution is highly stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have 10 to 15 customers using this solution.

The technical support has been very good.

The solution is straightforward. One side deployment for approximately 600 mailboxes does not take more than three hours. However, if it is more than 1,000 then it could take longer.

There is an annual license required for this solution.

I rate Barracuda Email Security Gateway an eight out of ten.

We have almost 600 users using Veeam Backup which is secured through Barracuda Email Security gateway. We are resellers of Barracuda. 

The anti-spamming and anti-phishing features are great. They're really strong and stable in this solution.

The DMARC security is somewhat weak and could be strengthened. Email classification is not directly integrated with Barracuda Email Security and that kind of classification would be helpful. 

The solution is scalable. As mentioned, we have close to 600 users. 

This solution is stable and reliable. 

We contacted technical support during implementation. They were responsive. 

The initial setup was a bit complex but the Barracuda team helped us configure it very well.

I'm not sure of the actual cost but the license fees are based on a per user annual basis. 

For any user receiving compromising third-party emails, Barracuda will help secure the system. 

I rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

We find the email security to be valuable. 

The solution should include an improvised anti-phishing feature, since it blocks certain genuine emails. 

We have been using Barracuda Email Security Gateway for six or eight months. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

We did not work with another solution prior to this one. 

The initial setup was very easy and user-friendly. 

I cannot comment on the pricing as this is not within my knowledge. 

We procured the solution as a service. 

We have 3,000 people making use of it. 

There is no need for us to do maintenance. The solution is administered by our subset department and they have a fantastic support team, should there arise any field issues. They are wonderfully accessible. 

I rate Barracuda Email Security Gateway as a nine out of ten. 

It is a really good product with a lot of features. It is responsive, updated, and modern. It is easy to use and has an easy interface for non-IT users. Its dashboard is also quite fine.

It is also quite flexible and has an API at the backend. 

Its integration with other solutions can be improved. There should be integration for telemetry information, system information, and other types of information with other solutions. Barracuda currently doesn't have that. Barracuda has its own platform. Its integration with firewalls is quite good, and it communicates really well with firewalls, but I have not seen any other integration. Based on what I know, it does have an API at the backend, but I have not used it. 

We have been a distributor of this solution for about five years.

It is scalable. You can start with a VM or hardware. The hardware is not really scalable, but the VM is scalable. Most vendors are scalable in terms of VMs.

I have about 15 to 20 customers of this solution, and they seem happy.

They have a good support team. They are quite responsive and technical. They are also fast in responding. 

It is really easy. I installed Email Security for 100 email clients two or three weeks ago, and it took me half an hour to do the base installation. The training for IT administrations took another one and a half or two hours.

It is easy to install for a non-admin. If you are a normal user trying to configure it, it is really easy to use. If you are an admin, it is a bit more complicated.

It is a cost-effective and relatively cheap solution as compared to others.

Our customers have a yearly subscription. We do have a few customers with monthly subscriptions, but they have cloud-based Email protection, which is a different type of solution. Both solutions are very good.

I would recommend this solution. Barracuda has one of the best email security solutions for SMB and big enterprises. Barracuda is not a leader for email security, but they are really good at what they are doing. In terms of email security, Barracuda is one of the best solutions. There are a hundred different products in the market, such as Fortinet and Forcepoint, but Barracuda is cost-effective and really good at what it does.

I would rate Barracuda Email Security Gateway a nine out of ten. It is a really good solution, and it does what it says.

We are using the solution to upgrade clients using old legacy security to the cloud.

We have found some of the valuable features to be how easy the solution is to configure, the graphic support, and the intuitive dashboard.

There are limited administration controls that should be improved. Additionally, the reports available currently are not enough.

I have been using the solution for eight months.

The resolution has been reliable.

There has not been any problem with the scalability of the solution. We have approximately 600 users using the solution in my organization. We have plans to increase usage in the future by 100.

The technical support has been good and responsive they have always called us back.

The installation is complex.

The solution requires a license and we pay annually.

I recommend this solution to others. In a few years, I think this solution is going to be a global leader.

I rate Barracuda Email Security Gateway a seven out of ten.

It is useful for a medium-sized business. It is not useful for large enterprise solutions. It's made for small networks with fewer mailboxes.

The most valuable feature is the Antispam services, which are the basic services of spam device.

The scalability needs improvement, it's the only feature that is required.

I would like to see all of the latest security details available on the device, and it should only be cloud-based, not on-premises.

I have been using this solution for more than five years.

We are using the latest version of it.

It's a stable device.

It's not a scalable product. If we want to scale it then we have to change the device, because it is on-premises. It is not a cloud-based solution.

We have 2400 users in our organization.

Technical support is good. We have no issues with support.

Previously, we did not use another solution.

The initial setup is not complicated.

I cannot remember the installation time, as it was a while ago.

We have a team of administrators to maintain this solution.

The licensing cost is competitive, it's not too high and not too low.

We have a standalone device that is not scalable, so we are considering a cloud-based solution.

I would recommend using the cloud-based solution, and not as an on-premises deployment.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We are using this product to protect us against spam and viruses.

It is very simple to whitelist addresses.

This product can always be made more secure.

We have been using the Barracuda Email Security Gateway for a few years.

We use this product on a daily basis.

We have 18 of us who are using this product.

Our support is outsourced.

We were using a different solution prior to Barracuda and we switched because our IT support company suggested it.

Our department was not responsible for the deployment.

The licensing fees are part of a bundled support package that we pay for.

This security product is part of an IT support package that we bought, and we didn't select it or purchase it for a specific reason. I don't know who the competitors are. 

Overall, I am satisfied with this product, although I don't have the expertise to meaningfully recommend it, or not.

I would rate this solution a five out of ten.
