After three or four years, you can switch the hardware. When a new technology becomes available or the existing hardware needs an upgrade, they replace the customer's hardware box with a new one without additional charges. Barracuda does not charge extra for deploying the new boxes or for replacement. The best feature is their box is refreshed after some time according to their hardware renewal policies.

Barracuda has been stable till now.
View full review »In our environment today, the stability is good.
The problems we have at times are not about the performance or availability, but about the quality of the detection for some threats. The model that we have does not have a sandbox resource, which other versions Barracuda offer. Sometimes we receive a phishing email that has a malicious link, for example. Even though it is an old threat, Barracuda can't detect it. Sometimes these messages are delivered to our users. This is a gap that we have identified.

We've had a couple of issues pop up over the three years but they were resolved within 15 minutes. One issue that wasn't critical took around a day to resolve.

It's stable. The only issue is when you do an email campaign with large file attachments, PDF and then email, the system slows down. That is a problem because the queue gets full and you have to correct it and delete those emails manually.

It is very stable and we have had no issues.
Because it is a cloud subscription, it is updated automatically.

View full review »In the last seven years, we have faced three major problems: One is security related and the other two are service functionality related. One of these happened this year. There was a bug within Barracuda Email Security Gateway where the antivirus system scanner was getting hung. We contacted the Barracuda Email Security Gateway support service who worked for a couple of days to make this stable. After that, it was fine.
I forgot that I changed the administrator password a year and a half ago. Then, I came to the office one day and was trying to log into my administration portal, but I gave the wrong password because I forgot it. Somehow, I was not able to remember the password. I tried giving several passwords, and then suddenly I put in the old password. So, I logged in by using the old password on this device. Then I thought, "What have I just done?" I am logged out again and put in my new password. I have logged in. I am again logged out, then put in the old password and was logged in. This was a problem.
I contacted Barracuda's support team and raised a ticket about how both the old and new passwords were working for the admin account, as this was a security concern. Because if the admin account is compromised, that would be a direct security concern. Barracuda Email Security Gateway support team got involved. They logged into the solution, taking necessary steps. Then, the old server was made obsolete and did not work anymore.
We sent out a message that we are concerned about it. For example, if any customers using the physical or virtual appliance have an admin password that is tagged or an administrator has left their company, then the new administrator should change the password or the old administrator can gain access by using the old password.
"How to remedy this security hazard?" That was our question. They said, "There are some cashing-related problems that did not propagate properly." Now, it is okay and functioning properly.
Our main objective is reducing spam and delivering email accurately. That has been our objective. By using Barracuda Email Security Gateway, we are achieving this.

This solution is fairly stable. We have had the appliance replaced a couple of times due to some kind of failure, but over nine years, you're bound to replace it once or twice. When this happened, they were pretty good with the turnaround and getting it back to us.

Ajai Jayakumar

This is a very stable product. But the stability depends on supporting the product to let it meet the requirements of your organization. We always have to scale according to the demands of our call center. We needed to know how many emails flow in and out of our organization and based on that we choose the correct model of the product. Any organization will have to do this. Once you ensure which product model you need to meet your level of service, then it will be stable.
If you don't size it properly and you under-size it, then you will have a network or email flow issue. For example, if you know you have 2,000 emails flowing in and out per hour and you buy a product which supposed to handle only 200 or 300 emails per hour, then it will slow your email server. At times miscalculating your volume or not buying the right product — maybe to save money — may cause a situation where it will jam and not even work. So stability depends upon how intelligently you approach the analysis of what you really need as a solution.
