Find out what your peers are saying about Proofpoint, Barracuda Networks, IRONSCALES and others in Secure Email Gateway (SEG)."Barracuda Email Security Gateway is very simple to use."
"We have found some of the valuable features to be how easy the solution is to configure, the graphic support, and the intuitive dashboard."
"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."
"Barracuda is good at keeping the garbage from reaching your inbox."
"Customer support is the solution's strongest point."
"The link protection and anti-phishing features are great."
"Its backups are valuable."
"All features it provides on the cloud environment are very, very useful, including the antivirus that is enabled on it."
"They do a better job of determining what's real and what's not than most of the other solutions we have tried, and it's been very painless to use."

"The dashboard's UI could be improved to make changes to the blocklist."
"Solution requires regular checking to ensure it's 'keeping up' with spam."
"The DMARC security is somewhat weak and could be strengthened."
"The scalability needs improvement, it's the only feature that is required."
"False positives have given us issues."
"The spam filtering is a little too aggressive. You can not get granular enough to back off on what is considered spam and what is not."
"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."
"We still have critical threats coming into our environment and delivered to our users. When we compare it with other solutions, these other solutions can already detect those threats."
"They have some areas that could be improved. For example, we also use this solution for email encryption, which was clunky and could be improved, but the email security itself has been excellent."
