Barracuda Email Protection Reviews & Insights

As an MSP we have been using Barracuda Email Protection for ourselves and many clients for over 4 years. Support Team has always been quick whenever needed. They had help us configuring email security while migrating email system from on premises to cloud or vice versa. It blocks most phishing and junk emails effectively. Encryption, bulk detection and content policies are super helpful. We occassionally see a few spam emails still slip through, which is why I’m giving it a 9 instead of a 10. Its not major issue but it’s something we hope improves in future. Regardless we consistently recommend Barracuda Email Protection to all of our MSP clients.

As per my experince Barracuda Email Protection is great for small businesses. We have multiple customers using it with Exchange on premises. or Office 365 and setup is always simple.

When we originally signed up for M365, their built-in DLP was bad and rarely caught critical items that needed protection. We needed a better solution and started looking around, and the Barracuda Email Security platform was cheap and did a good job. For us it now does spam filtering, business email continuity, DLP, malware/virus filtering, and URL-review to make sure phishing emails don't get through.

I would definitely recommend it due to the decent pricing. I wish the MS built-in M365 tools were better, but Barracuda does a good job of taking their place. For industries that need DLP on their email, like healthcare, banking, and education, Barracuda provides a reliable product for a good cost. The additional services you get, malware/AV filtering, URL filtering, spam protection, business continuity, those are all icing on the cake. The only issues we've ever really had with them is that it will sometimes take a back/forth string of emails and decide randomly to encrypt it, so what was a flowing benign conversation is now locked behind a wall for recipients. As the sender, you have no idea when it's going to decide to do this and have to remember to tag emails with a decrypt tag long before it happens or face the consequences.

Barracuda Essentials provides inbound and outbound email filtering to help reduce spam and phishing attacks that reach end user mailboxes. Uses a mix of SPF / Dkim filtering along with a sender reputation score to help identify patterns. Can also be used to rate limit outbound emails to flag up any malicious activity

Good add on for office 365 , good guides abailble to get setup to provide filtering quickly. Can give users the ability to approve their own blocked mail or set to only allow admins to release. Keeps a good audit log that details every action that is taken by support staff.

Helps to make companies aware of how a security breach is a mail away. With campaigning and results, we can show how email security is important in today's society.

With Barracuda Security Awareness Training, we can easily show the security risks that a simple untrained employee can be. From sending cheeky emails to dropping a random USB stick on a desk.

This product can be used in order to educate people on how to be more aware of security risks in enterprise and home environment.

Our staff is more aware of the targeted phishing campaigns in our industry thanks to Barracuda Security Awareness Training.

It allows us to make sure we are on top of security awareness with our employees. The training helps employees think before clinking on a link.

Barracuda Security Awareness Training is well suited in a variety of industries, but specifically in government and education.

This product helps bolster the human element of cybersecurity.

Barracuda Security Awareness Training is well suited for any company that provides email to its employees.

We regularly send out Phishline campaigns to our users to gauge engagement and then implement training sessions with our users. It's a great way to see if the security training and awareness you are providing your users are paying dividends.

Good at security training.

We use this to help train our users about phishing and other forms of email attacks, as well as the general risks of cybercrime. This helps to strengthen the last line of defense - the human behind the keyboard. The tool also allows us to test our endpoint protection products using the collection of file-based attacks.

It's great for those without any security training tools, particularly small businesses or those without in-house security teams. However, for those large customers, they will probably do it in-house within their dedicated teams, so it can be more tailored to the organization. Microsoft 365 Defender users will probably not need it either, as Microsofts in-build tools have really come along, and have a much better interface.

I use the product to help our employees to distinguish a fake email from a real email. We receive lots of phishing emails, for example, from banks, and from the government. Sometimes our users are prone to click on a false link, and lots of possible "wrong" things can happen. We, of course, have endpoint protection but training the "human" firewall is always the better option.

Full-featured and ready-to-use platform to start sending out training phishing mails.
