"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Email Security Gateway is that it blocks almost 99 percent of threats from users' email inboxes."
"Eliminating inbox clutter creates an opportunity to be more productive instead of wasting time manually sorting through spam."
"The solution helps us to block some blacklisted emails."
"The solution's anti-spam features are its most valuable aspect."
"It can scale."
"I like Barracuda's cloud sandbox feature."
"Great at blocking spam."
"It does the job. Even when our clients have a very high rate of emails per second, there has been no problem."
"I like that Trend Micro ScanMail is very effective and quite strong."
"The analysis part is good."
"Its integration with mail platforms is valuable."
"What I like the most about Trend Micro ScanMail is its easiness."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of the interface, specifically the cloud interface, is a bit slow."
"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."
"The solution should include an improvised anti-phishing feature, since it blocks certain genuine emails."
"The DMARC security is somewhat weak and could be strengthened."
"The scalability needs improvement, it's the only feature that is required."
"The technical support is not available globally 24/7 and this is the biggest problem with the product."
"We had an incident where we didn't want to receive any emails or spam from a certain site and email address. We selected the mail ID, and we send it to Barracuda for analysis to see if it's spam or something like that. As of now, we haven't gotten any update or notification as to what happened with it."
"The pricing is a little bit high, and it is causing the company to rethink renewal. If they could lower the pricing, that would be ideal."
"The weaknesses of Trend Micro ScanMail are that it doesn't fully protect ad-based web access and lacks proper security for Outlook, iOS, and web browser access."
"The price could be better. I think it's pretty good compared to other solutions as far as the features are concerned. It basically covers most of the stuff which we require for email security. But it would be better if they made it a little cheaper and more cost-effective. That would make it easier for us to sell it."
"The sandboxing part can be improved."
"ScanMail was one of the best solutions a few years ago, but it is no longer the best solution because of its old-fashioned management console. Customers associate it with something that is old because there is no change in the management console. It has old icons, and it is not fresh enough. It is also not easy to use or play with. The report engine is also old-fashioned. Customers want something easier, quicker, and cleaner."
"Its user interface is pretty old-fashioned, and sometimes, it's hard to find the features that you are looking for. The user interface definitely needs some improvement."
