The initial setup is straightforward and user-friendly. I would rate it ten out of ten.

Setting up Barracuda is straightforward. I usually pay a nominal fee for their deployment services, and they help us get off the ground. You can deploy in under two hours. I got deployment included for free, but I think it's normally something like $2,500 or something. My entire team is three people, so it doesn't take a lot of effort to maintain.

The initial setup of Barracuda Email Security Gateway is simple for the cloud base version. It takes approximately one hour for the deployment.

Setting up the solution is simple and straightforward. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

The only thing to do is set up some protocols. You set up some protocols, you go and get some policies enabled, and you can choose whatever policy you want and you enable it on your exchange and that should kick you off. All you do is point your gateway to Barracuda instead of your exchange, and you'll be able to get your email through.

Deployment doesn't take long. It probably takes a day or two, depending on how you want to configure it. You don't really have to do much. It is just that the protocols are already out there. All you do is tick whatever you want and it gets deployed. You set your parameters.

Maintenance is done by the support team. It's cloud-based; we don't really have to do maintenance on our end unless we have a device on our end. We don't have a device on our end. In the event that we have user changes, we do it in-house. For example, if a newbie has joined the organization or somebody is leaving, we make administrative changes.

Barracuda is just like Kaspersky or FortiMail. The initial setup is seamless. They provide the box, and we must mount and configure it according to the customer's environment. It takes about a day or a half-day if you're familiar with the Barracuda environment.

I can easily configure it because it's so typical. When I configure any box, I go over the features. For example, I will first configure the SMTP server if I want to create an inbound flow. I look for that feature and configure it. The fundamentals don't vary much between devices. Some options might be different, or the features may have another name. There may be some additional features that FortiMail has, but Barracuda doe not. It varies from device to device, but the basic configuration is the same.

The initial setup and implementation process is complex. It is not exactly easy.

I'd rate it 2.5 out of five in terms of ease of setup.

The initial setup of the product was straightforward.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The solution can be deployed in half a day.

I'm new to the company. I wasn't involved in the initial setup of the product. That said, my understanding is that it is straightforward. 

The deployment of the solution took approximately three months. We had to test the solution thoroughly before we started using it. Overall, the deployment was simple.

I rate the initial setup of Barracuda Email Security Gateway an eight out of ten.

The initial setup of Barracuda Email Security Gateway took approximately two months to complete here in Lebanon. It was not an easy implementation.

The initial setup and configuration are straightforward. It requires no MF records to be enabled. The platform provides two distinct interfaces for easy domain and IP address management with blacklisting and whitelisting capabilities.

To configure the system, you must set up SMTP servers, mail servers, and email addresses, enabling various security features such as anti-phishing, antivirus, content deployment, email reconstruction, etc. It is very simple to configure and use.

It's not so hard to deploy. Barracuda has a huge forum on the internet with a lot of simple guides to follow. In our case, it was very simple to deploy the solution. Obviously, you need to have some knowledge about your network and the protocols, but every time that we need to use support they are always available very quickly to help us. But overall, the deployment is very simple.

The first time we deployed it, it took about three hours.

Ahead of deployment, we had some meetings with our IT team at our headquarters in Germany because we needed to create some rules in our network in Germany as well as here in Brazil. We chose the best resources for virtualization in our environment. We needed to design exactly how it would work: how Barracuda would receive emails and how we would address emails from our Microsoft Exchange before they went to Barracuda. We always used the Barracuda guidelines in the deployment process.

For our 600 users we have two people involved in the solution, a security guy and a network guy.

The initial setup was easy. I had to change all the appliances in the past due to a hardware refresh, but configuring the new appliances was easy.

I would say the initial setup was super simple and quick. It takes a couple of hours to deploy. After that, you're up and running. 

The initial setup of Barracuda Email Security Gateway is straightforward. It can be done in quickly by experts or if you follow the wizard it can be done in 30 minutes.

The initial setup of Barracuda Email Security Gateway is straightforward. The process can take approximately 15 to 20 days.

The setup is straightforward, it's very easy. For example, I want to change a feature but I didn't find it easily. There's a search option and you find the manual entry and you can make a conflict change. 

Straightforward, even easy to install.

The initial setup is very easy, compatible to manage, and takes a maximum of three hours to complete.

Since we are using MP65, we procure the SaaS model. We generally follow the same process for SaaS to deploy the solution.

We often encounter challenges because each customer has unique network configurations, security hardening requirements, and specific solutions. This includes migrations and email address configurations, which need to be updated periodically to stay in line with the solution. Regarding deployment, I believe we can complete a few files quickly, but the implementation phase will require more time.

This solution is very easy to install. It took us a couple of days to deploy.

The initial setup is easy as it is user-friendly only the console is lengthy but that is manageable. The solution was deployed in our organisation six months ago. For the deployment, the cloud version is suggested because the currently, the world emails are trying to migrate to the cloud solutions. 

As the solution is cloud-based there is no need to install it in each and every endpoint.

While installation was easy, it was not necessary to do for each and every session, as its parameters are solely within the email gateway. 

The initial setup is very simple. If you purchase an appliance or physical device, then you can just power it up in your data center. You then add the domains: one default domain and one public IP address. After that, you can handle it however you want. You can add new domains or allow other IP addresses for relaying emails. That is pretty simple. 

On the virtual end, you must download the virtual instance from their website if you support Hyper-V, VMware, or other virtual clouds. So, you can download the VM and import it to your hypervisor. After providing your IP address and setting up your password, it will run instantly. The rest of the process remains the same as the physical device setup.

After the download, if you have the VM, then it will take a maximum of two hours to make it go live.

Barracuda Email Security Gateway's initial setup is more user-friendly than its competitors.

I rate Barracuda Email Security Gateway a nine out of ten for the ease of its initial setup.

I wasn't involved in the setup. We had someone from the vendor look at our setup and tell us what to change. 

The tool’s deployment is simple.

I am not aware of the initial setup. It was already deployed when I joined.

This solution is difficult to maintain, which is why updates should be automatic, in my opinion. It should be intelligent enough to get the most recent updates, which it is not at the moment.

I believe it is, but I believe it does not catch everything. Perhaps we need more collaboration, more technology companies.

The initial setup is not overly complex. We found it pretty straightforward. It's not too hard to execute.

The deployment is pretty fast as well. It's a good process. We've done it a few times at this point.

I think the initial setup was pretty straightforward. As I mentioned previously, we recently upgraded to the current version, and in the process our hardware was upgraded because we were running on older Pentium processors. It all went quite smoothly with support from Barracuda. 

The initial setup for this appliance is not complex. It is very easy to configure and deploy.

The initial setup is pretty straight forward as long as you pay attention when you get the training. Record that training session.  

It was easy. It was not complex. It was an on-premises deployment on VMware, and it took one day.

The initial setup was straightforward and fairly simple. We were able to do it without support from the vendor. It took us approximately two days to get it up and going.

Our ISP had to set up a DNS NET at the time it was deployed.

The initial setup was quite straightforward. The set up is not too complicated. The deployment only took a few hours. 

The initial setup was very easy and user-friendly. 

The initial setup is not complicated.

I cannot remember the installation time, as it was a while ago.

We have a team of administrators to maintain this solution.

The initial setup is pretty easy and not complex. It took a day or two to deploy.

It is really easy. I installed Email Security for 100 email clients two or three weeks ago, and it took me half an hour to do the base installation. The training for IT administrations took another one and a half or two hours.

It is easy to install for a non-admin. If you are a normal user trying to configure it, it is really easy to use. If you are an admin, it is a bit more complicated.

The installation is complex.

The deployment took about one week. It was easy to deploy. All the information you need is supplied by the company. You just have to make the proper considerations and do some fine-tuning. Then it can be put into production.

The initial setup is easy and user-friendly, and you can deploy it quickly.

The initial setup was straightforward and very easy. It was easy in terms of the cloud service. As part of the process, they walked us through the implementation and the migration from our on-prem appliance to the cloud service. A lot of our rules and all that we had tied up, made on our on-prem appliance, they migrated it over to the cloud service, so we didn't really have to do too much in terms of setup. The entire deployment took around a week by the time we tested everything out. 

We first set up a small group to test it out first to make sure everything seemed to be working the way it should be. Once we were convinced that everything was fine, we ran the two services in parallel, one behind the other. When we were happy with the way things were running, we turned off the appliance and went full tilt with the cloud service. 

It requires one person who does part-time maintenance because there's really not much to do once you apply this.

The initial setup was a bit complex but the Barracuda team helped us configure it very well.

The solution is straightforward. One side deployment for approximately 600 mailboxes does not take more than three hours. However, if it is more than 1,000 then it could take longer.
