Bewertungen über Barracuda Email Security Gateway

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen:
Barracuda Good Tool but User interface is outdated
Kommentare: Overall it is a good tool and has helped in controlling spam mails. Also. O365 component is valuable.
Vorteile:
Barracuda is good SEG. Able to filter more than 70-80% spam mails. Full Email log is available for 30 days. Support is responsive however, diagnosing and troubleshooting skills are average
Nachteile:
User interface is outdated. Lack new Look and Feel. Policy management process is manual. API integration is challenging. Also, logs older than 30days can be challenging, if an issue investigation is logs are required for more than 30 days. Had also experienced of email blocking by many sites because MX record matching issue.
In Betracht gezogene Alternativen:
Best in class
Kommentare: My experience with barracuda email security Gateway has been nothing but positive
Vorteile:
We spent a lot of time evaluating what service we wanted to use and we chose barracuda because it is one of the most reputable and best software titles on the market. We were highly pleased with the services which is why we are loyal customers now.
Nachteile:
I don’t have a lot that I can say negatively about the software overall it’s very easy to use and we really appreciate the work they put into the product
It may be time to look for a replacement product - sorry Barracuda.
Vorteile:
Email filtering catches a good amount of spam/phishing email. Quarantine is helpful for ensuring our users can see what questionable emails may need to be let through or blocked.
Nachteile:
Recently the product has been systematically allowing more and more spam to get through - sending in reports and providing feedback seems to have no effect. Certain aspects of the product just will not work right no matter how we configure them.
In Betracht gezogene Alternativen:
Robust spam, virus, and phishing filtering appliance with a lot of options
Kommentare: Our overall experience has been excellent, and we have been using the product for over a decade. During this time, we have upgraded to the newest Barracuda ESG each time the platform has come up for review. Our experiences with their support team have been minimal, but excellent each time support has been needed. Their user forum has also been helpful when looking to configure rules to address ongoing campaigns, or with basic configuration questions. Firmware updates over the years have kept the platform up to date with new options and user tools.
Vorteile:
Once fully configured, the platform is very reliable, resulting in few false-positives and blocking nearly all spam. The administrator interface is easy to use and allows for numerous ways to detect spam, with a lot of configurability. The user interface is easy to use, either through the web interface or the Outlook add-in. The hardware appliance and firmware is rock solid, requiring almost no ongoing maintenance except periodic updates.
Nachteile:
The mail log view can be cumbersome when trying to analyze large numbers of incoming emails, and the log filtering cannot always be set to find precisely what you're looking for, particularly due to the lack of filtering/wildcard options. When it comes to spam detection, all rules are universal, so you can't apply just some rules to a subset of emails (such as based on user/sender/sending server), which for us sometimes results in false-positive blocking. Barracuda's live definition updating has been quick to respond to new spam campaigns and threats, which results in virtually no spam, virus, or phishing emails ever reaching our users.

Feels like you're getting more than you really are.
Kommentare: It was just okay. I enjoyed it at first, but eventually began to not so much. I have since discovered many many other better platforms.
Vorteile:
The representatives and assigned IT staff are extremely nice and friendly.
Nachteile:
Over time, less and less was happening and/or done both on the backend and the front.
Protect your business from email- borne cyber threats by entrusting Barracuda Email Security Gateway.
Kommentare: Helps us in stopping spam and malware with inbound filtering. A very satisfying experience with you guys.
Vorteile:
Protect your customers against evolving, sophisticated email -borne threats by using Barracuda Email Security Gateway. Has very useful features to strengthen your email security service offering. Very intuitive and easy to deploy. Discover threats in inboxes by using The Barracuda Email Threat Scanner.
Nachteile:
Everything has worked out well for me I have no complaints.
Barracuda Email Security Gateway - great product
Kommentare: Like I mentioned before, we have had good experiences with this product so far and would recommend to anyone looking to protect their email server to use this product, we use their additional products including Cloud-to-Cloud backups, and Incident Response, all of which work seamlessly with one another. I like how I don't have to use several vendors to protect and backup my email system.
Vorteile:
My company was using this product when I started here over 5 years ago and still enjoy the same ease of use since I started, so far I have had very little issues with the product other than needing to adjust some of the inbound settings which were too strict and were not allowing legitimate email to be delivered to our domain. However the support techs were able to guide me through these adjustments and even recommended using MS Office 365 as it much more cleanly integrated with their products and have been happy with it ever since.
Nachteile:
I don't really have any issues with it, most of what we encountered that was not working was able to be fixed with the help of their knowledgeable support staff.
Industry Standard Email Protection and Filtering
Kommentare: It worked well for a while, and we had to get rid of it when the vendor stopped doing updates for our particular appliance. It did allow one critical exploit through, which hastened its replacement.
Vorteile:
Extremely powerful, and for a time, frequently updated from vendor. Integrated nicely with Microsoft Exchange. Offered convenient end user features.
Nachteile:
Very complex to setup. We required some more customization of communication that the product just couldn't do.
Best email security getaway
Kommentare: If you have in house email server you must use it to protect your user.
Vorteile:
We can use it with multiple domains there is no limitation.
Nachteile:
Display of email log need more user friendly.
Next level security in the world of emails.
Kommentare: Get rid of threats and insecurities while handling emails at all levels. I am a witness.
Vorteile:
The level of dependability on this software is amazing. I have always wanted assurance for Confidentiality on my work. Barracuda gave me a reason to trust it. I started using for my personal work after which I moved to deploying it at work place. The performance is outstanding.
Nachteile:
Barracuda is outstanding. It is perfect. I have not experienced any major challenges.
Barracuda Email Security Gateway's Empowering Secure Communication
Vorteile:
I'm particularly drawn to Barracuda Email Security Gateway's ability to transform our inbox into a fortress. Its precision in filtering out even the sneakiest threats is truly impressive. Moreover, the personalized control it offers and the prompt assistance available ensure our peace of mind in a digital world filled with risks.
Nachteile:
From my perspective, the initial setup complexity of Barracuda Email Security Gateway was a bit challenging. While its accuracy is commendable, occasional false positives caused minor disruptions. The resource usage also raised concerns.
Security and More!
Kommentare: Overall, the experience has been good, with very few exceptions. Everything you need is there, just spend the time to learn it and you will see the value.
Vorteile:
One of my favorite features of the Barracuda Email Security Gateway is its features. For example, the Barracuda Email Security has many tools to allow your users to safely receive emails and also control the things that leave mailboxes. There are tools to control inbound and outbound settings, and in the background, security features that prevent malware from entering your domain. My favorite tool of this SaaS application is the flexibility you have to control inbound settings. Particularly speaking, I like how you can customize content policies. Things like regular expressions (regex) give a new perspective to content filtering. This means you can block templated emails that are used for phishing or malicious activity. Another Pro I consider is the visibility of emails. Barracuda gives you great insight on what's happening during the transmission of emails. You can clearly see what is being exchanged, why things are blocked or deferred or quarantined, email headers, and it gives you the ability to deliver emails regardless of classification - you have the control. Lastly, support is something I really liked. Have an issue with something? Need an explanation to some error or granular configuration question? They can help. I've had nothing but good interactions with support when I am stumped. Email security is a corporate standard and so should Barracuda!
Nachteile:
There is one Con I will have to mention about this piece of good software. When you are subscribing to the Barracuda Essentials, make sure that you are aware of what comes with it. By default, Barracuda does a great job at blocking malicious emails BUT you will notice, as you continue to use it, that you will see phishing emails continue to pass through. They do have a separate component called "Sentinel" that does a really good job at blocking these emails based on AI. This may be a problem for you if only have the Essential package. This would mean that you'll be relying on writing regex to block phishing emails that slip through the cracks. These emails come from Gmail, so you can't simply block Gmail without also affecting legitimate correspondence (IE. recruiters may accept resumes from Gmail.).
An effective email security gateway with Easy to use Interface.
Kommentare: Over experience is very good. Barracuda is heavily focused on their email security platform and are improving it continuously. we are using their products for more than 5 years and very much satisfied with their offerings.
Vorteile:
The administration of Barracuda is very easy and straight forward. Configuring and setting up the device is quite easy. The security features are quite effective and practical. It keeps the spam and malicious emails out. Reporting is also quite functional but can be improved a bit. Customer service is also efficient and resolves the problem in decent time frame, with great follow up.
Nachteile:
The Barracuda email gateway user interface is somewhat lagging when under some load. They have improved it some what and the lagging has reduced to a bearable degree but room for improvement is there. Customer support is great technically, but their accent is some time very difficult to understand, although I am from the same region, but even then face this problem.
Protect your server like no other, it works like a charm!
Vorteile:
We've had a Barracuda box for 10+ years and no other appliance nor software could match its performance. One, it was truly plug and play (unlike others). Two, their support/consultants are extremely helpful. Three, the comprehensive layers of protection are in a class of their own. There are many other reasons to list regarding what I like but those three alone are what make Barracuda our leading solution for defense.
Nachteile:
No cons to list. However, if you're sending spam yourself - your efforts won't even come through as tests. That may be a problem for some but it's more of a personal issue due to their own marketing practices. You'll get what you paid for!
Security for your email like no other
Vorteile:
It is a trusted software for us which keeps our emails safe and separates junk emails from important emails. An amazing feature is the possibility to scan through junk emails at the end of the day in case an important email gets mixed up with junk ones. Tech support has been great as well, response was fast and concise.
Nachteile:
Some important emails have been ending up in my junk mail for a few times already. I have made it a habit to check my junk mails in order for me to not lose any important emails. I hope that updates can fix this problem, it is really a bit bothersome.
If You Need Security for Your Email, Read This
Kommentare: Overall, I am very happy with the security that Barracuda provides. With the ability for me to ultimately choose whether that incoming email is spam or not, also provides me with peace of mind, knowing that the computer won't be making decisions for me.
Vorteile:
I love how the software seamlessly integrates with my mailbox, so that on the off-chance that I do get some spam mail, or malicious mail, Barracuda immediately notifies me. More importantly, It is me that makes the final call on what the status of the email is, which adds a layer of customization to my inbox that other competitors may not provide.
Nachteile:
There have been multiple times I have received emails from clients which have been marked as malicious or spam, which I then have to filter through as just standard emails. Having to jump over to another window to fix a simple mistake multiple times has been kind of a headache.
Proven Spam protection for your business
Vorteile:
We've been using Barracuda SPAM Firewall for a number of years. Very happy with the results. It scans emails and incoming files. The firewall connects to the Security cloud which guarantees the most up-to-date protection.
Nachteile:
After every Barracuda update, the Barracuda Spam Firewall would stop us from using the internet. Quick fix for that - turn off the unit and turn it back on.
Expensive product, when it works, it works well, beware when it does not.
Kommentare: It was a replacement for a Cisco Spam Blocker/Ironport device. As far as a replacement, it works when it works.
Vorteile:
It's easy to deploy, and once deployed it is a standalone device that works as the filter. No resource drag on your other systems.
Nachteile:
The hardware it sits on has issues. The first device I received would periodically freeze and had to be manually powered off and then on. There is no warning when it happens and there is no pattern. After several rounds with the tech support, they sent me a replacement. The second one doesn't freeze but sometimes will hold a bunch of emails in queue and not process them for no particular reason. Seems to have something to do with their energize updates eating up all the system's resources.
Okay experience with the spam firewall
Kommentare: It protects your email users from outside attacks and spam, but it really has been the same product for 10+ years, and I get better false positives using other open source anti-spam products today.
Vorteile:
Easy to use. Enjoy the product flexibility with both public and private cloud products to protect both public and private cloud email servers. Supports non-Barracuda black and white lists as well. Has both virtual and physical solutions. Great technical support.
Nachteile:
Physical and virtual appliances are expensive, but the spam and virus definitions subscription fees are the normal costs. They really have not improved the product much, and the email encryption is something that needs work (not easy to use).
Barracuda for Email Security
Kommentare: Very simple, efficient form of email security. Great way to keep unwanted spam and potentially harmful emails from your inbox.
Vorteile:
We use Barracuda for Email Security to keep spam and viruses from our mailbox. In my experience, it has been very easy to view which emails are being blocked. Barracuda will send a preview of the blocked email showing the sender and allow you view the email in their system to see if it is something you want to be allowed into your mailbox. This software saved our company from various email threats and spam and our IT manager would be sure to let everyone know which emails to look out for!
Nachteile:
There were times emails would be blocked that we actually needed to come through, but as long as you are paying attention to the emails from Barracuda this shouldn't be a problem.

Really good spam filter!
Kommentare: My overall experience is good, especially because of the fast customer service.
Vorteile:
Very easy to use with 365 and exchange, multiple ways to setup authentication, customer support is super fast.
Nachteile:
Can be confusing to use, not as granular as needed sometimes, filtering words/subjects is hard to know the correct verbage.
Excellent Product - Tons of Features
Kommentare: Overall we are very pleased with the product. It has prevented a lot of unwanted emails and the ease of using it (once you are familiar with it) is great.
Vorteile:
The application has many features and tools you can use to easily find a certain email or group of emails. The reporting and graphs makes it easy to know whats been done.
Nachteile:
There's a lot that it can do, so learning takes a while and can sometimes get confusing, however, once you are familiar with the application its easy to use
Easy to Use and Navigate for Spam Filtering
Vorteile:
I like the filtering options provided on Barracuda. We were hit with a string of spam that were confusing staff members as they thought they were legit emails from our Accounting Department. The content filtering allowed us to add the verbiage to block from the body of the emails, regardless if the sender changed email addresses. Very useful and easy to block unwanted emails.
Nachteile:
For some reason, not all SPAM emails get filtered correctly. Even though the product is easy to use and we have it implemented, it seems as though many spam emails still get allowed. Additionally, even though the content filtering is awesome, it is very picky and will block your legit emails if any of the verbiage is slightly located.

Blocks what it's supposed to, not what it isn't.
Kommentare: Protection and ease
Vorteile:
I love that Barracuda will show you what has been blocked, and you're able to whitelist it if it shouldn't have been blocked. I like that you're able to see what messages have been quarantined without ever having to click on them. It's safe and protects our company from phishing and spam. It's not something you have to think about, it's just in place and does its job.
Nachteile:
I know there are some things that slip through the cracks but for the most part the filter catches what it needs to!
I have used Barracuda's Spam Firewall 300 appliance for 5 years.
Vorteile:
This product simply works. There are new virus/spam definitions automatically sent out multiple times a day. Firmware updates are very easy to install (and uninstall, if necessary). Users are able to modify their personal quarantine and white/blacklist settings to suit their needs.
Nachteile:
The web management interface is rather slow to respond. They need some more advanced security functions built into the software. And the syslog messages generated by the appliance are difficult to translate (and their is limited documentation from Barracuda).
