"Administration of the email domains and custom filters are easily done via the web interface."
"The security features are valuable."
"It's a bit easy to handle Cisco Secure Email; it's not that difficult. For the logs, which are in PDF format, it's not hard to read them. We don't need Wireshark much to analyze the logs."
"ATP has been the most valuable in improving our email security posture."
"Initially, the most valuable feature for us was the SenderBase Reputation, because that reduced the number of emails that were even considered by the system by a huge number..."
"Cisco Secure Email has strong inbound services."
"Spam controls are excellent because they are a powerful feature that operates almost effortlessly."
"The ease of use and the security offered by the solution are its most valuable features. It also offers good information protection."
"The interface makes it really easy to administer and configure."
"This is a stable, scalable product that provides a reliable email protection layer."
"Email encryption, because it fulfills our business needs."
"The most valuable feature is the URL relay protection because it protects users from phishing attacks."
"The solution is very easy to use, especially the cloud version which is very, very simple. There are some good templates already built-in, so we can just select the template, and you will get all the necessary functionality. The only one thing you have to do is point all your traffic in the cloud."
"The filtering aspect is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"The dashboard's UI could be improved to make changes to the blocklist."
"Barracuda isn't catching everything. We're still getting quite a few phishing emails, so we're looking for something else."
"Spam is not always detected, and it should be more automated. We have seen that some emails are allowed by these emails, which are then stopped by Microsoft."
"I have noticed that it takes a little time to get familiar with after deploying and some tweaks need to be done as things come up."
"Barracuda Email Security Gateway can improve email detection. We have some emails that are bypassing the threat scanning. There are some impersonation emails passing through."
"Artificial intelligence improvement could be used to help block spam and phishing mail that is directly delivered to users."
"Barracuda Email Security Gateway should add auto-remediation to improve the solution. Additionally, there are times when we have false positives and our general emails get locked, we have mentioned this to Barracuda."
"They could improve the filters. In my time at the company, there were several times we had to contact support to update the filters."
"The solution does not have a strong outbound service. It should also integrate DLP."
"We have Microsoft and we have the E5 licenses, they have more EDR responses on certain emails. That's something that Cisco ESA on the cloud doesn't have. They don't do anything about MITRE attacks. They only detect if there is a malicious email or a threat and they remove it."
"The interface is dated. It has looked pretty much the same for 15 years or so. It would be helpful to be able to do everything from one spot. The centralized quarantine and reporting are completely separate from policy administration."
"My opinion on the licensing of this solution is that it is a mess that needs sorting out. I am not particularly bothered by pricing as I administer it and make recommendations for people to buy or not to buy."
"Licensing is quite complicated for a number of customers, including ourselves."
"If you are not a technical guy, it is hard to maneuver, but as soon as you work on it, it gets better and better. If there was a better way to know how to do things or how to find things, it would be good."
"The initial setup was complex because I have two sites with physical clusters."
"There aren't enough advanced settings. They should offer more advanced options."
"In the advanced version, you have DLP, Data Loss Prevention, but when you buy the standard version, you don't have it."
"Reporting could have more options for users to customize desired results."
"There are a few issues with integration that need to be addressed; this would help make deployment easier for new users."
"More things need to be integrated into this device, like DLP, so we can have a complete solution in one box."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see more user awareness, such as information about phishing email attacks that have been prevented."
"The reporting functionality is in major need of improvement."
