Barracuda Impersonation Protection

My main use case for Barracuda Email Protection  is to educate people on how to be more aware of security risks in enterprise and home environments, and it also helps bolster the human element of cybersecurity.

Through educating people, they learn how to prevent cyber insecurity and how they can handle cybersecurity when it appears.

The best features Barracuda Email Protection  offers include education, preventing, ease of use, training implementation, and default libraries.

These features help my team educate people and make them aware of security risks.

Barracuda Email Protection has positively impacted my organization by preventing possible malware attacks via emails, resulting in fewer password stealing incidents, more security awareness, and additional benefits.

The additional benefits I mentioned are that Barracuda Email Protection has helped us learn more about other things that we did not know were present in our department or organization, so we have gained knowledge about other environments.

Barracuda Email Protection's filtering is very good but could be just slightly better; it does get 95% of the spam, but a couple get through in a week that are obviously spam.

I have been using Barracuda Email Protection for four years and nine months.

My advice for others looking into using Barracuda Email Protection is that it is a good add-on for Office 365 , and good guides are available to get set up to provide filtering quickly; it can give users the ability to approve their own blocked emails or set it to only allow admins to release, keeping a good audit log that details every action taken by support staff. I would rate this product highly based on my experience.

My main use case for Barracuda Email Protection  is that when we originally signed up for Microsoft 365, their built-in DLP  was inadequate and rarely caught critical items that needed protection. We needed a better solution and started looking around, and Barracuda Email Protection  was cost-effective and performed well. For us, it is now performing spam filtering, business email continuity, DLP , malware and virus filtering, and URL review to ensure phishing emails do not get through.

Barracuda Email Protection helped our team solve issues where our customers' emails were being detected as hacking attempts, so we used Barracuda Email Protection to protect them from being hacked.

Barracuda Email Protection offers cost-effective features that do not strain budgets, including training, implementation, custom templates, and default libraries.

Barracuda Email Protection has positively impacted our organization by helping us save 55 to 65 percent of our time since it is easier to use, is affordable, and we are able to use it quickly. I calculated that time savings by noting that it was due to both less manual intervention and fewer incidents of customers complaining about their emails being hacked.

Barracuda Email Protection can be improved in that email pass-through occurs even when the domain is in many block lists, and it includes phishing for PayPal .

Their DLP is somewhat inflexible and cannot handle custom additions. You either turn on the group of regulations you want to protect against, such as PCI DSS or credit cards, and take the default or you do not, with nothing outside of that.

I have been using Barracuda Email Protection for five years.

Barracuda Email Protection is stable.

Barracuda Email Protection is very scalable.

The customer support for Barracuda Email Protection is very responsive and supportive.

Before Barracuda Email Protection, I used the KCM CRC platform, which had better-prepared campaigns in the library and a more detailed platform with many features.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Barracuda Email Protection was that it was cost-effective and affordable, and it did not cost us much, which was a positive impact on our organization.

I purchased Barracuda Email Protection through the AWS Marketplace .

I have seen a return on investment, as there are fewer problems for the security team, our staff is more aware, and there are no more possible malware attacks via email.

Before choosing Barracuda Email Protection, I evaluated other options, specifically Proofpoint Insider Threat Management .

I would definitely recommend Barracuda Email Protection due to the decent pricing. I wish the Microsoft 365 built-in tools were better, but Barracuda Email Protection does a good job of taking their place. For industries that need DLP on their email, such as healthcare, banking, and education, Barracuda Email Protection provides a reliable product for a good cost. Additional services include malware, antivirus filtering, URL filtering, spam protection, and business continuity, which are all valuable additions. The only issue we have experienced is that it sometimes takes a back-and-forth string of emails and decides randomly to encrypt it, so what was a benign conversation is now locked behind a wall for recipients. As the sender, I have no idea when it will decide to do this, and I have to remember to tag emails with a decrypting tag long before it happens or face the consequences. I give Barracuda Email Protection an overall rating of 9.

My main use case for Barracuda Email Protection  is that it helps to make companies aware of how a security breach is a mail away. With campaign and results, we can show how email security is important in today's society. This product can be used in order to educate people on how to be more aware of security risk in enterprise and home environments. It allows us to make sure we are on top of security awareness with our employees. The training helps employees think before clicking on a link.

A quick specific example of how Barracuda Email Protection  helped my team is that it helped us bolster the human element of cybersecurity. We regularly send out phishing 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 we are providing to our users are paying dividends.

The best features Barracuda Email Protection offers include USB key attack testing.

The USB key attack testing and prevention features have worked well for our organization because we were able to cover and prevent the general risk of cybercrime. It helped us to strengthen the last line of defense, the human behind the keyboard. The tool also allows us to test our endpoint protection product using the collection of file-based attacks.

Barracuda Email Protection has positively impacted my organization because it has helped us to report on failures, including how far the fake attack got. It also includes in-built free training for users, as well as SMS and call training. This tool was supplied free without email security, so it comes at no cost.

Barracuda Email Protection can be improved as the setup was not as simple as it should have been. The interface is very outdated and cumbersome.

The needed improvements include that the setup was somewhat complicated. They should invest in making it easier.

I have been using Barracuda Email Protection for four years and eight months.

Barracuda Email Protection is stable.

Barracuda Email Protection's scalability is very scalable.

The customer support is very responsive and proactive.

Previously, I used Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup .

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it was cost-effective and affordable.

Regarding reporting on failures, it has helped us as we have observed a 40% improvement in our organization, particularly in how we handle incidents and improve employee awareness.

I purchased Barracuda Email Protection through the AWS Marketplace .

I have seen a return on investment because this tool was supplied free without email security, so it comes at no cost. That helped us save 6% of our income. The tool has helped us meet the requirement by our insurance to train users on the risk of phishing. However, the dated interface slows down what should be seamless adoption.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it was cost-effective and affordable.

Before choosing Barracuda Email Protection, I evaluated other options including Barracuda Essentials and Barracuda Cloud Archiving.

I do not have anything else to add about my main use case or how I have used Barracuda Email Protection.

I do not have anything else to add about the features.

I do not have any other improvements needed for Barracuda Email Protection that I have not mentioned yet.

My advice for others looking into using Barracuda Email Protection is that it's great for those without any security training tools, particularly small businesses or those without in-house security teams. However, for larger customers, they will probably do it in-house within their dedicated team, so it can be more tailored to their organization. Microsoft 365 Defender  users will probably not need it either, as Microsoft's in-built tools have really come along and have a much better interface.

I do not have any additional thoughts about Barracuda Email Protection before we wrap up.

I would rate Barracuda Email Protection an eight out of ten because its setup is a bit difficult and not as simple as one could think.
