It is responsive, updated, and modern. It is easy to use and has an easy interface for non-IT users. Its dashboard is also quite fine. It is also quite flexible and has an API at the backend."
"Before this solution, we didn't have any separate feature for protecting our emails. We used to only have a firewall but now we have email security. It has a graphical interface and we can see the log every time. We can see that the performance is fine."
"The anti-spamming, anti-fishing features are great."
"The performance is good."
"The most valuable feature of the Barracuda Email Security Gateway is the ATP."
"We have found some of the valuable features to be how easy the solution is to configure, the graphic support, and the intuitive dashboard."
"Barracuda Email Security Gateway is very simple to use."
"Its backups are valuable."
"It does the job. Even when our clients have a very high rate of emails per second, there has been no problem."
"Its integration with mail platforms is valuable."
"The analysis part is good."
"What I like the most about Trend Micro ScanMail is its easiness."
"I like that Trend Micro ScanMail is very effective and quite strong."
"I have noticed that it takes a little time to get familiar with after deploying and some tweaks need to be done as things come up."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of the interface, specifically the cloud interface, is a bit slow."
"I would like to have better integration with third-party archival vendors to facilitate moving data in and out."
"False positives have given us issues."
"Its integration with other solutions can be improved. There should be integration for telemetry information, system information, and other types of information with other solutions. Barracuda currently doesn't have that. Barracuda has its own platform. Its integration with firewalls is quite good, and it communicates really well with firewalls, but I have not seen any other integration. Based on what I know, it does have an API at the backend, but I have not used it."
"The UI could be a little cleaner and require less clicking around in different modules. They give the illusion of a single pane of glass, but as you click around to different products, you're actually being transferred into a different system."
"Some of the phishing emails are not being blocked. Another problem is that we are not able to manage the date and time in our time zone."
"We would like to have a local support center in India so that they are operating in the same time zone and speak the same language."
"ScanMail was one of the best solutions a few years ago, but it is no longer the best solution because of its old-fashioned management console. Customers associate it with something that is old because there is no change in the management console. It has old icons, and it is not fresh enough. It is also not easy to use or play with. The report engine is also old-fashioned. Customers want something easier, quicker, and cleaner."
"The weaknesses of Trend Micro ScanMail are that it doesn't fully protect ad-based web access and lacks proper security for Outlook, iOS, and web browser access."
"The price could be better. I think it's pretty good compared to other solutions as far as the features are concerned. It basically covers most of the stuff which we require for email security. But it would be better if they made it a little cheaper and more cost-effective. That would make it easier for us to sell it."
"Its user interface is pretty old-fashioned, and sometimes, it's hard to find the features that you are looking for. The user interface definitely needs some improvement."
"The sandboxing part can be improved."
