Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is easy to deploy and maintain.""The most valuable features of Barracuda Email Protection are flexibility and customization.""The most valuable aspect includes attempts to spoof or compromise domains from external sources.""When we got the service, it included the email archiver with unlimited storage.""The best feature of Barracuda Email Protection is that it provides protection for Microsoft 365.""We now have a secondary backup of Office 365 that's much easier to retrieve compared to Microsoft. If someone deletes something in Office 365, we can get it back within Office 365, but it's difficult. Barracuda is much easier. There is a lot less management needed using Barracuda. The management becomes much easier for Office 365 and it's no longer on-prem, so there are fewer hours managing on-prem devices, servers, and things of that nature. We don't have network appliances anymore for the backup of our information.""The most valuable features of Barracuda Essentials are it's a trusted name and is rated very high on review sites. It blocks high percentages of spam and junk email and it's in the cloud. They have hardware appliances, but this is in the cloud. The solution is very effective at blocking malware and blocking spam and this is what we are looking for. There's not a whole lot of complexity, you want a solution that is very good at blocking out all of the unwanted emails.""Barracuda email protection is stable. I would give it a nine because of its strong cybersecurity features."

Cons
"The solution's reporting mechanism is a little poor and could be improved.""There is room for improvement, particularly in reaching out to technical support during deployment.""The policies are set up in Barracuda by default; we don't have any control over them.""They could simplify the licensing and the pricing.""Sometimes it is somewhat laggy, especially on the Archiver side. It should have improved performance on their Message Archiver.""Barracuda Essentials can improve by continually adding more features.""The platform's pricing needs improvement.""I would like to see better integration with other products."

More Barracuda Email Protection Cons →

"Veritas Enterprise Vault should improve its indexing and customization options.""Veritas Enterprise Vault's cloud backup solution should include the journal archiving feature along with the standard licensing package.""The file-level archiving is very important in Enterprise Vault 12 and this doesn't really exist in early versions.""Dealing with personal information, such as documents that contain a personal number, personal ID or something like that should be improved. Sometimes it works poorly in that regard.""The platform's price could be affordable for small businesses.""The solution is not user-friendly and the restoration is not fast. It's also tricky to get information from it.""The product is a very complicated solution. It is not easy to upgrade and get alerts of issues. You have to check it all the time to see if there is an internal error.""The integration needs to improve."

    Overview

    The popularity of Microsoft 365 means criminals test and design their attacks to bypass its native security features. And that means you need additional layers of defense. With Advanced Threat Protection enabled, Barracuda uses multiple layers of detection, including signature, static, and behavioral analysis, along with CPU-emulation sandboxing to accurately detect and block zero-hour targeted attacks and ransomware.

    Traditional email gateways use static rules and policies—reputation analysis, block lists, and malicious payloads—to determine if an email is malicious.

    Barracuda protects your Microsoft 365 inbox against evasive threats with a powerful AI engine that learns the unique communication patterns within your organization through access to internal and historical emails. Once it understands what legitimate emails looks like for each user, it can detect anomalies that signal malicious intent. This context-based detection is more effective at blocking targeted attacks, which are designed to bypass traditional rule-based email security.

    Veritas Enterprise Vault is a comprehensive information archiving solution that helps organizations manage and protect their data. It enables seamless archiving of emails, files, and other unstructured data, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. With advanced search and retrieval capabilities, it allows users to quickly access archived information.
