We selected the mail ID, and we send it to Barracuda for analysis to see if it's spam or something like that. As of now, we haven't gotten any update or notification as to what happened with it."
"Artificial intelligence improvement could be used to help block spam and phishing mail that is directly delivered to users."
"The reporting functionality is in major need of improvement."
"There aren't enough advanced settings. They should offer more advanced options."
"More things need to be integrated into this device, like DLP, so we can have a complete solution in one box."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see more user awareness, such as information about phishing email attacks that have been prevented."
"Reporting could have more options for users to customize desired results."
"In the advanced version, you have DLP, Data Loss Prevention, but when you buy the standard version, you don't have it."
"There are a few issues with integration that need to be addressed; this would help make deployment easier for new users."
