Find out what your peers are saying about Proofpoint, Barracuda Networks, IRONSCALES and others in Secure Email Gateway (SEG)."Customer support is the solution's strongest point."
"We find the email security to be valuable."
"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 client has the option to blacklist or whitelist any email address or domain based on the sender and recipient filters. If they want, they can restrict any IP addresses so email won't be received from those IP addresses."
"There are plenty of features, such as sandboxing capabilities with zero threat protection. It has all the leading email security appliances compared to other solutions."
"Barracuda is good at keeping the garbage from reaching your inbox."
"This product is powerful and quite simple to use."
"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."
"Ability to create your own content-filtering policies with relative ease."
"A stable solution."
"There is room for improvement in the management of multiple domains."
"Barracuda Email Security Gateway should include ATP in the next release."
"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."
"Few customers require an on-premises fabric ATP box for attack detection and response."
"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 dashboard's UI could be improved to make changes to the blocklist."
"The technical support is not available globally 24/7 and this is the biggest problem with the product."
"The DMARC security is somewhat weak and could be strengthened."
"FTP server and TRUST Manager functionality."
"Malware needs improvement."
