Best Product for Email Security

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It has been a best product for us as an MSP and also for our clients. Some of our clients used to get hit with phishing attempts 5 - 7 times a day and this has reduced that to almost 98%. The checks that it performs to analyse the emails is record breaking and will only allow emails to go through if they pass these check. Would highly recommend this product as a solution.

Pros

  • Email Filtering and Inspection
  • Web-based intrusions and attacks
  • Traffic Patterns

Cons

  • More features in Web UI
  • Integrated Control
  • Allow user feedback before newer firmware versions

Likelihood to Recommend

Best Suited for Customer Environments with O365 Setup - Would recommend it for small, medium, or even large-sized organizations. Need to make some adjustments if you have an automated email setup for some apps.

Barracuda WAF Review

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a reseller of Barracuda products. Therefore we sell and implement it at our clients' sites. These appliances are available as a physical or a virtual instance. For companies that are hosting applications/databases in the cloud, this is a must.They provide security as well as bandwidth "conditioning" for the users and the company data. A huge selling factor is that the appliance provides SD-WAN without the overhead cost that you would incur if being provided through the ISP.

Pros

  • SD-WAN
  • Traffic conditioning
  • Reasonable cost

Cons

  • Learning curve to implement
  • If using SD-WAN, multiple devices required

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have a database in AWS or Azure with a lot of transactions, SD-WAN is a must. This appliance provides the needed feature at a fraction of the cost of going through an ISP. If you do not have lots of application "transactions" an F series firewall would be more appropriate (and also less expensive).
