We performed a comparison between Barracuda Email Protection and Google Vault based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Email Archiving solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We now have a secondary backup of Office 365 that's much easier to retrieve compared to Microsoft. If someone deletes something in Office 365, we can get it back within Office 365, but it's difficult. Barracuda is much easier. There is a lot less management needed using Barracuda. The management becomes much easier for Office 365 and it's no longer on-prem, so there are fewer hours managing on-prem devices, servers, and things of that nature. We don't have network appliances anymore for the backup of our information."
"The most valuable features are security and ease of use."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"The product is easy to deploy and maintain."
"The most valuable features of Barracuda Email Protection are flexibility and customization."
"The most valuable aspect includes attempts to spoof or compromise domains from external sources."
"When we got the service, it included the email archiver with unlimited storage."
"The best feature of Barracuda Email Protection is that it provides protection for Microsoft 365."
"Google Vault acts as a great method for retrieving files from Google Drive and Gmail."
"The most valuable features are automatic document and email retention."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"In my opinion, the search functionality is the best feature. With Google Vault, we can quickly search for any email within Gmail accounts. And then we can get further information, such as if you want the full header or want to know any extra details about the emails."
"The audit part of the tool is the most useful for me."
"The most valuable feature of Google Vault is its reliability."
"Search feature is valuable for our customers."
"Data retention is very valuable to us."
"The solution's reporting mechanism is a little poor and could be improved."
"Sometimes it is somewhat laggy, especially on the Archiver side. It should have improved performance on their Message Archiver."
"The customer service and support could be improved if the support were available directly in Europe. Currently, the support is often managed from India, so we sometimes need to wait due to the time zone difference. It would be quicker and better if the support were provided by European staff."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in reaching out to technical support during deployment."
"I would like to see some additional functionality in terms of employee monitoring, as part of a work-from-home security solution."
"The policies are set up in Barracuda by default; we don't have any control over them."
"Barracuda Essentials can improve by continually adding more features."
"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) could be improved visually."
"eDiscovery could be improved with additional information and an easier way to retain it."
"My personal opinion is that Google Vault could improve if they could have a similar version to Microsoft 365 where you can have an eDiscovery manager account. With this, you can separate a regular person from an organization and just transfer the specific files."
"The price of the solution could improve and the search could be easier."
"It would be nice if Google would let us download the data in different formats."
"Google Vault needs to improve its data export timing because sometimes, it takes a very long time to export the data."
"Although it does a good job of searching through data and exporting it, I feel that Google Vault should have more export options available to the user. As a reseller, our customers demand a lot from their Google products, and exporting is one area where there's a lot of improvement needed."
"Searching could be improved. There's a lot of limitations when searching with Google Vault."
"The knowledge base is not as in-depth as it should be."
