Barracuda Email Security Gateway Pricing

WalidChowdhury - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Operations at BD

The regular pricing was initially very reasonable, but three years ago, Barracuda revised their price list and SKUs, resulting in a significant doubling of the standard prices. After the modification, the renewal costs for their products skyrocketed. To illustrate, a customer who initially purchased a direct email security product for $50,000 could now face a renewal price exceeding $60,000 after three years due to the altered pricing structure. This change has presented challenges for customers, leading to a notable increase in overall expenses during the renewal process.

The price of the solution should be reduced. The price in the USA is less than where we are. Our local distributor of the solution is manipulating the market. 

The price of the solution can range from €6,000 to €23,000. The on-premise version is expensive. However, if it is on the cloud the price is better.

I rate the price of Barracuda Email Security Gateway a six out of ten.

The price is approximately 30 percent more than others on the market.

It's pay-per-user licenses. We pay around 5,000 Fijian dollars for probably 50 users. The pricing is pretty good for the type of support they give us. We are not looking at anything more expensive than what we're currently paying.

Globally, it's used pretty extensively and it's regarded as one of the top three packages.

The solution's pricing is exceedingly high, and it continues to increase. Many-a-time, customers do not renew the solution due to the high price. I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten.

Barracuda has the best price. Every year we need to renew our license, and every year I need to compare Barracuda to two or three other players in the market. Barracuda always has a price that is 30 to 40 percent less than the other players' prices.

Last year we paid for the possibility of changing our hardware every three years. But now, because we changed the licensing model to a virtualization model, we don't need that. We just pay for the product and the support. There are two separate costs.

It is yearly licensing. They recently increased the price but the price-performance relation is still very good. Compared to Cisco IronPort, Barracuda is less expensive and the configuration is much simpler.

Pricing options should be considered by the Barracuda management, as per country market research. They should consider the economy and the country-technology ratio.

This is one of the major points for integrating this solution in any organization. Barracuda Email Security Gateway needs to make it a bit more tolerable for customers because it is increasing every year. They should create a plan for reducing the cost. 

I have observed that the price if I purchase from an American/European site, a European vendor, a European distributor, or Barracuda distributor in the European, Canadian, or American regions online, they are selling the virtual Vx model license for less than subcontinental distributors. For example, there is only one distributor in our country, so the price depends on them. Nobody can purchase a physical appliance license from other regions, while anybody can purchase a virtual appliance license from another region. Therefore, the virtual appliance license in Europe, America, and Canada are lower than our regional price.

The pricing is fine. It's somewhere in the middle if you look at the market. There are certainly other products with higher and lower price points. We don't find their pricing unreasonable, however. We're willing to pay for it.

The cost of this solution is based on the size of the product that you buy and the number of users. In our case, it is just based on staff.

Our licensing fees are approximately $4,000 per year, and this includes updates for the antivirus and spam signatures. They are always trying to keep up with the spammers.
