What do you like best about Barracuda Email Gateway Defense?

The most helpful thing about this tool is the ease of use. It helps me to quickly investigate and remediate phishing emails. If a legitimate email is blocked, EGF includes features to quickly mark as a false positive and allow the sender. This is used in collaboration with MS Defender and acts as our first line of defense for correspondence. I use the product on a daily basis, as email communication is a huge part in our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Barracuda Email Gateway Defense?

There is not a lot to dislike of this product. I would say that maybe combining some of the tools together in one interface, which they are working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Barracuda Email Gateway Defense solving and how is that benefiting you?

Barracuda gives me a visual of emails that flow in and out of our environment. This is not something that, say, Exchange Admin can do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Barracuda Email Gateway Defense?

The customer support is always quick to respond, easy and friendly to work with. If there is something you can't find in the documentation or are having trouble with, they can answer your questions and help get it taken care of. I also really like the digest reports are customizable and can allow users subject only view of blocked/quarantined messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Barracuda Email Gateway Defense?

It is difficult to understand the priority or order of operations on different rulesets. It could be more beginner friendly in terms of where certain settings are buried or searchable for specific settings. The product seems geared towards Office 365 users so if you are not on Office 365 your use case may be slightly more limited. If you don't wait several seconds for the page to fully load it will wipe out your search but there is no way to time this loading (no progress bar and it doesn't stop you from typing) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
