Find out what your peers are saying about Proofpoint, Barracuda Networks, Mimecast and others in SEG (Secure Email Gateway)."Customer support is the solution's strongest point."
"The link protection and anti-phishing features are great."
"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."
"I like Barracuda's cloud sandbox feature."
"It is lightweight, and we can filter all of our inbound and outbound emails. We have controls for rate control, quarantine, and tagging. We can see whether an email is a spam email or a phishing email."
"The solution helps us to block some blacklisted emails."
"This product is powerful and quite simple to use."
"It is very simple to whitelist addresses."
"A stable solution."
"Ability to create your own content-filtering policies with relative ease."
"False positives have given us issues."
"My customers were sending OPT bulk emails and Barracuda Email Security Gateway was not able to handle it. We have to go with another different solution, such FortiMail for the task. We are implementing these combinations of the Barracuda and FortiGate, for email security. The FortiGate FortiMail security gateway we use to send only the bulk email, not for receiving emails."
"The DMARC security is somewhat weak and could be strengthened."
"Barracuda Email Security Gateway can improve reporting and anti-spam. The anti-spam engine is not working well. We are seeing a lot of problems where spam is going through the gateway. Additionally, access privilege should be given to the IT support, because they don't have a lot of privileges. We are forced to give our IT support administrative access in order to clear and deliver emails and this should not be happening."
"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."
"Two improvements that are needed include an enhancement in the proxy feature, as well as the ability to more fully automate patches and updates."
"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."
"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."
"FTP server and TRUST Manager functionality."
"Malware needs improvement."
