As an MSP, knowing that our Clients' Environment - across several layers - is protected by 24/7 SOC Services provides both our clients and our IT Team with an elevated level of comfort and security!

What do you like best about Barracuda Managed XDR?

The AI-powered threat detection is incredibly effective at catching phishing attempts, ransomware, and other cyber threats before they become an issue. Their Security Operations Center (SOC) team is highly responsive, ensuring that potential threats are addressed quickly. Plus, the user-friendly dashboard makes it easy to monitor security events without feeling overwhelmed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Barracuda Managed XDR?

While the service is excellent, the initial setup took some time to fine-tune for our specific needs. There’s also a bit of a learning curve when it comes to navigating all the available security features. However, once everything is configured properly, it works seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Barracuda Managed XDR:

If you're looking for a reliable, hands-off security solution that provides constant monitoring, expert analysis, and proactive threat mitigation, this is the way to go. Just be prepared to spend a little time on setup to get the most out of its capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Barracuda Managed XDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a comprehensive security solution that could provide 24/7 monitoring, proactive threat detection, and automated incident response without adding extra workload to our team.

What do you like best about Barracuda Managed XDR?

The automated monitoring system and the process around escalation (Alarm, Alert, Notification) and the ability to monitor and analyze the large number of events from multiple platforms / infrastructures etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Barracuda Managed XDR?

I would like to see more customizable options in the reporting department - would like to be able to see / investigate / analyze the actual data or alerts that are being generated. Creating and running customizable reports (the way that the backend engineers at Barracuda are able to) would be a great feature. Currently the reporting tab is lacking in comprehension and ability to customize / automate / generate reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Barracuda Managed XDR:

I would let potential customers know that this platform is on the more expensive side, however it does offer the ability to customize you plan/protection. It is also quite involved / complicated on the initial setup if you are connecting multiple platforms / devices / infrastructures / networks / cloud environments - but once it is setup and working it provides immense coverage and the ability to have eyes everywhere within your entire environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Barracuda Managed XDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are currently monitoring between 100-150 million events per month with XDR. The AI integration that is able to ingest the large amount of logs/data has been extremely helpful with keeping an eye on all security aspects of the company. I am currently managing all IT for a small firm (80-100 employees) and the instantaneous notifications helps me (in a department of 1) stay on top of any irregular activity; as well as taking immediate corrective action.

What do you like best about Barracuda Managed XDR?

BARRACUDA'S security operations center has the ability to isolate a possible malicious machine and separate it from the network right from detection. Then can follow up with our team to rectify the situation and get the machine back online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Barracuda Managed XDR?

We have not come across any dislikes at the moment. Of course you are always worried about the end user clicking on anything but let's keep that to a minimum by preventing most of it from getting to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Barracuda Managed XDR:

Make XDR part of your security stack and let their SOC handle the heavy lifting for you on your client's desktop and servers. Bundle the XDR with their email security monitoring as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Barracuda Managed XDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Barracuda's Managed XDR allows us to free up our technicians to support our clients by letting XDR worry about endpoint protection for us. The ability for Sentinel One to be managed by their SOC allows us to provide 24X7 coverage for laptops and desktops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Barracuda Managed XDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Barracuda Managed XDR has been a great tool for cybersecurity. The integrations page makes setting it up easy and it takes only a few minutes for each. Integrated Cloud Monitoring with M365 only requires you to link a global admin account and Barracuda does the rest. On the dashboard, you can review Alarm, Tickets for protected systems and infrustructure as well and what endpoints and infrusture are being monitored. For Monitoring only, when an issue is detected, a ticket is created full of data and information that directs us on how to remediate it. For Managed or SOAR capable alerts, we know what what detected and what the SOC team did to remediate and if any further steps are required. The SOC team at Barracuda is quick to reach when we call in and are knowledgeable and helpful. 24/7 coverage means we can sleep at night as they watch everything for us. They are always adding new features to the product and generally without an increase in price. This includes SOAR capabilities with M365. I would love to see more options for us to control, for example, access to the S1 control panel. But overall, it’s a great product and we love using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
