Antispam that works
What do you like best about the product?
It is cloud based, easy to start and has good reporting.
What do you dislike about the product?
It becomes quite hard if you need to stop messages containing certain text or so (quite advanced topics). Essentials is not really into exceptions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had a onsite antispam solution. Since you really can't predict the load on such solution, it is quite problematic to scale.
A complete solution of excellent protection for emails.
What do you like best about the product?
Barracuda Essentials is a great complete tool that we use with a complete solution in order to provide protection for our emails and data in Office 365 and Microsoft Exchange. What I also like is protection against advanced threats from Zero Day attacks and protects against deletions and hacking of information.
What do you dislike about the product?
No problems with Barracuda Essentials and no reports of technical problems or errors. The solution is collaborating a lot with work and productivity and safety.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has its differential for combining good protection of corporate e-mails and archiving them to ensure compliance, backup and complete restoration of data in the cloud. Protection is end-to-end and has filtering right at the entrance that protects emails from viruses, malware, spam and pishing. And it also has outbound protection that prevents information from leaking with encryption.
LOVE Barracuda Essentials!
What do you like best about the product?
Barracuda Essentials works so well and is easy to manage once installed and configured. I am able to see everything that comes in add senders to the Blacklist or Whitelist as needed. Very satisfied with the results.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's so powerful that the menus can sometimes be a little overwhelming. But, once you used it for little while it will make sense and become very easy to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed comprehensive email scanning and filtering and Barracuda was the best we could find.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It works and it is not too expensive for most businesses and will pay for itself many times over if it saves you from just one ransomware or other malware attack.
Best Email Security to operate with ease
What do you like best about the product?
The Simplicity of setting up and the ease of which you can start protecting your domain within minutes. This products integrates well within other products of barracuda to give you ease of accessibility and control over multiple barracuda products. The centralized cloud control is the one place to view and manage all barracuda cloud offerings. The details of each setting is remarkable to beginners as they jump into protecting their email domains. Highly recommended as an enterprise email security solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cloud offering needs to integrate with other products in order to give additional features such as forensics and sentinel
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Barracuda essentials have kept our business email domain secured from sophisticated attacks and have helped the business adapt to best practices when securing the organizations domain.
It's good security products
What do you like best about the product?
Per-User quarantine is the best feature. We can stop a lot of spam email using per user quarantine. Email spooling feature is best we did not lose email. We can easily deploy within minimum downtime. We can manage multiple domains separately.
What do you dislike about the product?
Global Quarantine feature. Because we can not see quarantine delivered details in the message log. Only we can see specific Quarantine mailbox delivered details. We can not customize external sender warning messages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
95% Spam email blocked by Barracuda and email spooling is better. Several time our email server down we protect email spooling feature without mail lost.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy deployment compares other products and minimum downtime to deploy.
Barracuda Essentials
What do you like best about the product?
Essentials overall has been great for my corporation. The message log alone is a life saver
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to see increased reporting capabilities and more custom configuration of the spam filters
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted increased protection from spam and phishing. Office 365 just wasn't delivering. Essentials has.
Barracuda Essentials in Higher Education
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to set up and use. It does a nice job of blocking viruses and malware. I like the layout of allow/block lists. I like that it takes the load off of on-site hardware. It is hard to beat Barracuda's support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like all products out there, some things do get through. But, not sure that is a dislike so much. It is just that nothing can block everything while still allowing the good in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it in conjunction with our on-site Email Security Gateway. It takes the workload off of it.

Doesn't get easier or better!
What do you like best about the product?
The Barraucuda Forensics and Incident Response (FIR) is easy to use and allows you to immediately identify, verify, and mitigate a problem within a few minutes. Without FIR you may not even know if there was a problem, and it may take hours to find and resolve.
Many email scanners handle incoming email only, but with Barracuda Essentials you get incoming and outgoing email scanning.
The Archiving feature, with it's unlimited retention and storage, is a great way to dive into historical emails for research or legal inquiries.

What do you dislike about the product?
The Cloud Control web access to the ESS can sometimes be slow and/or drag a bit. But other than that I can't find anything that is a negative.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Besides the obvious benefits of email scanning for viruses and malware, the FIR portion of the ESS is incredible. We have already stopped one account takeover, whereby the users account was logged in from someone in Turkey (we are in California/USA). The FIR immediately notified us and within a few clicks we were able to stop the takeover and change the users password. In the past, we would have not known about something like this or found it too late - and I now have to wonder if this did happen before and we just never knew about it.
For ransomware, phishing and scamming, the FIR continuously monitors suspicious activity and alerts us. We have the ability to instantly look at the suspicious email and determine if we want to delete it from the users inbox(s) and then block the offending email address and/or domain, or if it is a false positive, we can report it as such back to Barracuda. It is constantly learning.

Barracuda helps manage the dangerous waters of Email Threats!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the daily emails showing the emails that have been scanned and are awaiting my disposition.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could be a little easier to log into when not using the email shortcut. Sometimes, when I go straight to the website and login, it doesn't take me to my home page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Email threats are constant. Barracuda is very successful in helping us filter out all non-essential emails to limit our potential exposure to email threats.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ease of use and effectiveness gives great cost benefit.
Secure gateway with multiple cloud-based apps
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use portal that provides access to all of Barracuda’s cloud apps. Easy to setup and sync with local AD or Microsoft Azure Active Directory.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have had problems added and removing admin users. We have one user that we could setup as an admin. Had to contact support multiple times to figure it out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a reliable and secure email filter, and this is one of the applications available in Barracuda Essentials.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at all of the available options. Plan your implementation thoroughly.
