Aside from the pricing, it is a very good solution. I would rate it ten out of ten.

I rate Barracuda Email Security Gateway as a solid nine out of 10. Their spam protection is excellent, but the UI could be better. Their ATP and threat protections are great. I would give them a 10, but the UI requires just enough extra clicks to annoy me.

When you're setting up Barracuda, make sure you're asking all the right questions about setting up your DMARC and DKIM. You need to plan to take advantage of the whole product instead of a small portion of it.

If the solution is configured correctly then the maintenance is low. We are able to check the solution for our customers. We use two people for the maintenance if needed.

I would recommend this solution to others.

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

We are end-users.

I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. We are happy with the product.

I would definitely recommend using this solution. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. It's better than the appliance and firewall solutions.

I rate Barracuda Email Security Gateway six out of 10. Based on my experience, we are recommending FortiMail or Barracuda because we find these two solutions the most stable. FortiMail has fewer issues with spam.

We're a Barracuda customer.

We are using virtual appliances, not the cloud version of the solution. That said, we do plan to move to the cloud. 

While we are not planning to change Barracuda, we are planning to improve Barracuda after purchasing the cloud solution. Our plan is to enhance our email security when we integrate our appliance with the Barracuda Cloud solution.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. Some of the exposed emails were not blocked by our Barracuda clients. Although we have engaged the principal, and they helped troubleshoot and tweak some configurations, it's still an issue. We still face some exposed emails delivered to our management level.

I'd advise potential new users that if they plan to implement Barracuda, they should find someone knowledgeable in implementations. They need someone who will follow best practices and understand procedures laid out in the documentation. After configuration and implementation, there may still be some fine-tuning required. 

With Barracuda Email Security Gateway, I feel that its AI functionalities are good, but there were too many false positives. Now I understand that it's more about hardfail than softfail, so you need to understand that certain configurations are not done properly. Even though certain emails don't pass the security check and Barracuda blocks it, it may get through and cause a bit of difficulty for the company.

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

We are customers and end-users, not partners.

I would recommend this solution to others. 

I rate Barracuda Email Security Gateway nine out of ten.

We chose the solution because it was high on the rating sites and some of my friends from other companies recommend it.

My advice to others is to make sure that their business use case is well optimized, to allow the solution to be set up in the right way.

We are a construction company and we make sure that the emails related to construction pass through the solution. Other companies, such as in marketing, will want to make sure that the marketing campaign passes through. We don't want any marketing campaigns to pass through. You need to see your business use case and your business needs, and you will have to adapt the solution.

I have deployed one box on-site but also provided support for deployed boxes in many customer sites, Government sites, and private sectors.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Our management wants to migrate to E5 from E3 and says we don't need Barracuda Email Security. However, we are unsure if E5 will have the same features as Barracuda.

I recommend Barracuda, and from a security point of view, I would rate it a nine out of ten. It didn't let any EXEs or phishing emails through.

Barracuda's technology is the kind of technology that gives us a good balance among security, value, and user experience. It is not the best tool or technology on the market, but it does what it was developed to do. There are other possibilities, if you are willing to pay more. But Barracuda is the right solution for the problem in our environment.

A lot of companies pay for a good and comprehensive solution, but they usually only use 50 or 60 percent of what the solution offers. Barracuda is different. We use it 100 percent. I know what the Barracuda technology delivers for me and the value I get from it for what I pay and how I use it. It is that simple.

In my opinion, I only have experience with Barracuda so I might recommend it. But, I would suggest exploring other options as well, like Microsoft, to have a better understanding.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I would rate this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. Barracuda Email Security Gateway has been fine for our use case.

Try the Barracuda Email Essential Security Cloud Service. It's not expensive and implemented in half an hour.

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

I would suggest implementing Barracuda Spam, because this solution has a multi-factor threat analysis engine, which other products don't have.

I recommend the solution, especially for email security, load balancing, and journaling.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Overall I would rate it seven out of ten. 

Overall, this is a good product with wonderful security capabilities and I definitely recommend it.

The rate the overall solution a ten out of ten. 

The solution is deployed on cloud. 

There are 300 people making use of the solution in our organization.

All solutions have their pros and cons and there is no such thing as a perfect solution. We cannot customize the solution according to our needs and, consequently, its reporting capabilities are lacking. For this reason I rate Barracuda Email Security Gateway as a seven out of ten. 

Research what you are looking for and why you want to use it, determining: 

• How critical is your email solution? 
• How is your organization thinking about security? 
• How is your company assigning value to email? 

If it is important or critical, then you can try the trial version of Barracuda Email Security Gateway Cisco IronPort, or any email security that is in the market. After that, you get the experience of a 30-day trial. This is very convenient for users or customers to make a decision on what platform they will use. 

If they have security concerns, they will not think about the money. However, if their company is an SME or needs to maximize their productivity regarding their investment, then they will want to get maximum productivity from that device to justify the investment. Therefore, they will need to think carefully about the email security gateway that they will use.

Everybody has their own perceptions in the security field. If anyone wants to use any security gateway for their email security purposes, then they need to decide which one they want, their objective, and what they want to achieve. 

I would rate the overall solution as nine out of 10.

I think it's a good product, it's rated fairly highly when I look at reviews. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of 10, no reason for not giving a 10 than, nothing is perfect. 

If you want to secure your network then you must acquire a spam filter and virus firewall. In my opinion, Barracuda is the best choice.

Security Gateway is simple to implement. Make sure that multiple people on staff are trained in setting it up. In other words, you do not want to just be relying on one individual in the organization to be the only one who is able to set it up. Always have a backup, or even two. That is especially important to us as an MSP.  

One more thing would be to pay attention when you first onboard with the solution. Barracuda puts you through some training with one of their technicians. I think it is important that you record those training sessions to keep for your reference. What will happen if you do not take advantage of recording it is that after the first two or three installs, you will be on your own. If you make sure you make a copy of your training session with them, then you can always refer back to it.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate this product overall as a nine-of-ten. The reason I would give it a nine is just that one area where we do not have the ability to manually go in and modify some of the settings. Until we can do that, it is still a great product but it is not quite a ten.  

It is good. It is working in our environment. It is very useful to us, but we are having a little bit of difficulty.

I would rate it a seven out of 10.

This is a good product. It works, it's reliable, and it's helpful. We feel that it is worth the money that has been spent on it.

Overall, the product is effective, but the scalability is limited.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We have 250 - 300 users. 

This product is good more any medium-sized company that uses email. 

I would rate it an 8.5 out of ten. Not a ten because there is room to improve. They can do more with their R&D.

We procured the solution as a service. 

We have 3,000 people making use of it. 

There is no need for us to do maintenance. The solution is administered by our subset department and they have a fantastic support team, should there arise any field issues. They are wonderfully accessible. 

I rate Barracuda Email Security Gateway as a nine out of ten. 

We have a standalone device that is not scalable, so we are considering a cloud-based solution.

I would recommend using the cloud-based solution, and not as an on-premises deployment.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I would recommend this solution. Barracuda has one of the best email security solutions for SMB and big enterprises. Barracuda is not a leader for email security, but they are really good at what they are doing. In terms of email security, Barracuda is one of the best solutions. There are a hundred different products in the market, such as Fortinet and Forcepoint, but Barracuda is cost-effective and really good at what it does.

I would rate Barracuda Email Security Gateway a nine out of ten. It is a really good solution, and it does what it says.

I recommend this solution to others. In a few years, I think this solution is going to be a global leader.

I rate Barracuda Email Security Gateway a seven out of ten.

As far as advice to other organizations considering this solution, I would generally recommend the product. But it depends. I can recommend Barracuda as a user because I have not had any problem with it. But if your organization has a limited budget, you might want to consider going with Trend Micro. Trend Micro is also a very good product, and it is a little cheaper than Barracuda when it comes to pricing structure. But Trend Micro is also not as easy to implement and use as Barracuda. So you would have to determine whether Barracuda is worth investing in so that you save time and effort. Barracuda costs a little more, but it is easier to use, more user-friendly and has a little better reputation.

On a scale from one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I would rate Barracuda Email Security Gateway as a seven out of ten. This rating is lower even though I am completely satisfied with this product as a solution. The big problem is not the product, but the support — which I consider a very important factor. If I can't get support on time or I have to work inconvenient hours to get live support, this ends up affecting our services.

One other thing I think I should mention is that the reporting system for Barracuda is very good. Good reporting is important to the utilization of the product in an efficient manner.

Overall, I am satisfied with this product, although I don't have the expertise to meaningfully recommend it, or not.

I would rate this solution a five out of ten.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We never had an issue with Barracuda. It worked flawlessly. Updates were regularly downloaded on the appliance itself, and we would get an email saying that the latest version is there and they would ask if we wanted to install it. Then my administrator would go in and check it out and install the application service. It did it automatically and there was always a backup process. The support was very good with them as well if we ran into any difficulties, so that wasn't an issue.

I would advise someone considering this or a similar solution to make sure that you know all of the email domains that you have within the organization. Make sure that they are set up. There's a bit of configuration work that's needed with the DNS service provider, but other than that, everything else should be very smooth. The team at Barracuda helps walk you through the process and the pitfalls as well.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. There are two more portions that we haven't implemented yet. It's really just apply and forget. It does the work itself. We've had some times when certain things come through, but once we apply the proper whitelisting or blacklisting, we get it all sorted out again. Spam and all that are moving targets as well.

For any user receiving compromising third-party emails, Barracuda will help secure the system. 

I rate this solution a nine out of 10.
