"It catches a lot of things and has the ability to add domains as well as add senders and update their things."
"Before this solution, we didn't have any separate feature for protecting our emails. We used to only have a firewall but now we have email security. It has a graphical interface and we can see the log every time. We can see that the performance is fine."
"The spam filtering, in particular, is very important for us. We have a large volume of emails each month, something like 200,000, and Barracuda filters about 85 percent of the spam, malware, and phishing that comes in. It prevents our users from receiving this content on their computers."
"It is a very stable solution."
"It has the best feature for processed mail analysis."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to setup rules and destinations. It also helps to monitor suspicious items."

"Barracuda should add an option where it can add multiple domains, such as abc.com, bbc.com, and cbc.com. Therefore, this domains' emails will be allowed and other domains' emails will not be relayed through Barracuda Email Security Gateway. Whereas, if you allow the IP address, then any of the domain's emails will be relayed through Barracuda Email Security Gateway. That is the drawback that I have observed. So, Barracuda should work on this."
"The reports are standard, and it would be nice to be able to customize them."
"Some of the phishing emails are not being blocked. Another problem is that we are not able to manage the date and time in our time zone."
