Barracuda is a competitor. From a technical point of view, Symantec is superior. Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and Barracuda are not up to the mark. I compared these two products before buying Symantec. Symantec is better compared to other products. It has a good database.

I handle migrations for customers and have experience comparing this solution with Microsoft and ING products. 

We're currently evaluating Fortinet because our main firewall is under Fortinet, so we were under the impression that implementing a solution that has the same brand as our current firewall would be easier.

We continuously compare the performance of this product to others, such as a similar solution by Barracuda Systems. The Symantec solution really stands out in terms of how people rate it.

No.

We evaluated McAfee and it was also unable to rectify the problem with OCR images.

It's a bit expensive compared to its competitor Barracuda Email Security Gateway but cheaper than Sophos Email.
