Barracuda Email Protection Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Business Development Manager at Procter & Gamble4.0I’ve used Barracuda Email Protection for four years and find it a stable, scalable, cost-effective anti-spam gateway with strong logging, sandboxing, encryption, and responsive support, boosting security while reducing IT effort; reporting and portal speed need improvement.
Director Of Technology at PT Exa Teknologi Indonesia3.5I used Barracuda Email Protection for four years; spam and link protection were useful and setup was easy, but it lacked DLP/DMARC/DKIM, had firmware upgrade instability, weak email support, hardware scaling limits, and cloud-only features conflicted with Indonesian data residency needs.
Group ICT Manager at a mining and metals company with 501-1,000 employees3.5I use Sophos and Barracuda together for layered cybersecurity, finding Sophos strong in endpoint protection and Barracuda helpful across email and incident response, though I see room for improvement, especially in Barracuda's scanning engine and response automation.
Director, Information Technology at St Albans High School For Girls4.5I find Barracuda Email Protection valuable for its out-of-the-box configuration, email security, and domain reputation capabilities. However, improvements are needed for default policy settings integration with Azure. Its affordability and training options add to its appeal.
Manager IT- Systems and Data Center Operations at Hamdard4.5I use Barracuda Email Protection to filter spam emails effectively, with its reports showing blocked malicious emails. Although we experienced some fraudulent emails recently, it performs better than Office 365, which allowed more spam due to basic security.
Senior Tech. Lead at WE4.0I found Barracuda Email Protection ideal for clients lacking resources to manage email security due to its automation and ease of use. However, its reporting, fraud detection, and integration features need improvement, and it lacks customization and third-party integration capabilities.
ICT officer at a tech services company with 51-200 employees4.5We find Barracuda Email Protection effective for archiving and searching emails, though it lacks security gateway features. Storage limitations are problematic, and we'd prefer Microsoft 365 if costs were equal. Integration with Exchange is seamless but bulk user management needs improvement.
System Integrator IT Manager at Tecnimex S.r.l.4.5I primarily use Barracuda as an email gateway integrated with Microsoft 365 for anti-spam protection. I'm satisfied with its user interface and AI protection, but pricing should be more granular for small businesses, especially in Italy.
