Barracuda Essentials Review

We are a solution provider and Barracuda Essentials is one of the security products that we implement for our clients.

The most valuable features are security and ease of use.

This solution adapts to changes as required, which is important.

It is easy to customize compared to other products.

The email encryption could be improved.

I would like to see some additional functionality in terms of employee monitoring, as part of a work-from-home security solution. It would make the protection and capability more comprehensive.

We have been working with Barracuda Essentials for about a year.

I have been using this product and it is quite stable.

It is a scalable solution. We support about 60 people who are using it, of which one or two are administrators and the remainder are end-users.

The technical support is good and we have not had any challenges with them.

Prior to Barracuda, we worked with Symantec Email Security. After this, we tried Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection. We found Barracuda to be more efficient, easy to use, and customizable. Cost-wise, it is also better.

The initial setup is straightforward and it can be completed within a few hours.

The price of Barracuda Essentials is better than some of the competing products.

This is definitely a product that I recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
