View full review »Because we use the on-premises version, we don't have many options when it comes to scalability. But in our headquarters, we have the same solution working at the same time in two different data centers for availability.
We have plans to update to the next version, preferably the cloud version, where we can have more options for using the other resources and layers that Barracuda offers. We don't have access to those today on the version we have.

Barracuda Email Security Gateway is a cloud solution, therefore it is highly scalable.
Everyone in our company is using this solution. It is protecting 10,000 users' inboxes. We do not plan to increase users.

The scalability is pretty granular. For example, 80p protection and cloud protection, link protection, anti-phishing, you can buy it all separately. You buy the original box and then you can buy afterward the additional security features.

View full review »Scalability depends on the ability of the system.
The scalability in Barracuda Email Security Gateway works separately in other platforms. If you think about virtualization technology, that works another way. You can make it scalable. If you have a 1,000 VM capacity in a virtual infrastructure, you can scale it by adding other nodes, physical hosts, memories, hard disks, etc. You can have a 2,000 capacity by keeping other infrastructure or servers online. Barracuda Vx300, Vx400, Vx600, Vx800, and Vx900 have their own capacity. For example, Barracuda Vx600 has a 10,000 users capacity. Whereas, Vx800 has a 22,000 user capacity and Vx900 has a 30,000 user capacity. Therefore, if you want to scale out, you need to buy a new version.
If we want to use the capacity for 22,000 users, we would need to purchase the license for the Barracuda Vx800 model, then download and install it. So, there is an option for backing up our existing solution in the Barracuda Cloud. After moving the backup to the Barracuda Cloud, we can restore the backup to another device and the configuration is done instantly. While Barracuda is not 100% scalable, it does give flexibility to restore your old configuration.

Founder CEO at Waterdog Computer Works
Scalability is very, very easy. We have over 40 clients with multiple end-users currently using it, so it has already proven to be very scalable.
Primarily the people using the product are actually the end-users. They could be CFOs, CEOs, company presidents, office managers — the whole gamut of employees use the product if they use the network. We are an MSP, so we are literally servicing the whole range of different companies and different end-user needs with pretty high volume capability.

I would say that this specific appliance is not scalable. While the product, overall, is scalable, we would have to accomplish this by moving up to a different model.
We have approximately two thousand email users who are using the filtering, blocking, and quarantine features. We receive about ten thousand pieces of email per day.

It's not a scalable product. If we want to scale it then we have to change the device, because it is on-premises. It is not a cloud-based solution.

You cannot add to this device, so if you want to upgrade then you have to replace it. Each model has a bit of a margin and if you choose it properly then you will not have any problem.

It is scalable. You can start with a VM or hardware. The hardware is not really scalable, but the VM is scalable. Most vendors are scalable in terms of VMs.
