Just the Basics
What do you like best about the product?
Just like the name implies, you get the essentials. But what's great about this product is that you get them for stupid cheap. That is definitely what's best.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, this product should come with a warning label. No serious company should just purchase this. They really really should tack on the Sentry product too. For protection against modern day attacks, consider sentry essential, haha.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We stopped 95% of bad emails coming in. Most of these were bulk email, dmarc, spf, or phishing reasons, but it does do a good job of stopping them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
GET SENTRY AS WELL!!!!
A good firewall for email
What do you like best about the product?
I think the Barracuda Essentials package is easy to use and gets the job done. It allows for us to conduct our workflow without the worry for phishing emails and securely backups up the precious data we've got. We can also conduct fake email phishing tests and other types of expeditions so that we can see how many of our fellow employees are failing phishing tests.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like any cybersecurity product, there are false positives from time to time and that is somewhat annoying because we need to configure certain filters to ensure there isn't a hard block.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the biggest issues we face as a team is social engineering and Barracuda Essentials for Outlook really helps alleviate potential phishing and other threats we face with email.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Barracuda Essentials is a great way to protect your users and really extends Outlook functionality. It is a must-have for all organizations, large and small.
Email Archiving and files store on Barracuda Essentials
What do you like best about the product?
The SaaS of barracuda is great, because a big company or bank like BBVA can archive all emails, files, contracts in one tool that provide good security and easy to scale.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price is to expensive, and the need a lot of configurations. It's not easy to set up on production.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the security and holding of our emails, some minor documents and other files. We are testing this application, maybe on the future we will expand and use it more than right now.
Barracuda Essentials is the best way to protect and support your tech
What do you like best about the product?
Today's workforce has become very independent on technology, which is not always dependable in a variety of situations. Barracuda essentials has really made the exchanging of emails, not only dependable but extremely convenient for organizing and backing up emails.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are few things I dislike about the software, although I do wish it sent fewer notifications as I feel at times I'm being flagged for viruses that are nonexistent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its a great tool for managing email accounts and backing up the information recorded in them for later review, if they ever need (especially because we have become incredibly dependent on technology).
Using Barracuda, Does it Help?
What do you like best about the product?
I do like the purpose of Barracuda. It would be nice to have a software that could read my mind when it comes to junk email. I do like the white-list, a list of senders to have blocked. This software does do a great job at blocking viruses and malware. Since we have started using it at my work, I will have to admit that I have not received any bad emails.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the layout of the site, I found it a bit difficult to navigate when I was on my mobile device. I also would quarantine items that had been accepted in the past.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are not spending so much time on our computers crashing because and employee unwittingly opened op and email with a virus. I do feel protected. It is also good for storing all of the millions of emails that a community college gets annually, those are government documents and are subject to the Freedom of Information Act and must be archived for a specified period of time.
Quick and easy implementation and use
What do you like best about the product?
User quarantine, allows users to check any blocked emails and release it without IT
What do you dislike about the product?
Scoring system needs to be easier to use from administrative side
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blocking spam and control size of emails
You know it work when you don't think about it
What do you like best about the product?
I like it that it doesn't take up any computer resources (RAM, CPU) and still manages to do a great job filtering and protecting our e-mail services.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am uncertain of all the benefits that it offers. It runs in the background and rarely pops up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeps our email servers safe and prevents us from getting additional spam and junk emails.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As long as your IT company is well-versed in servers this is a great tool to utilize to secure them. Make sure it also integrates with the email system you currently have in place.
Security for emails and prime spam filter
What do you like best about the product?
We use Barracuda security as our chief firewall against spam, hacker emails, etc. I use the system pretty much daily to review emails that have been relegated to spam.
What do you dislike about the product?
As good a job as it does, I do occasionally find legitimate emails in the folder Barracuda creates for spam, but it's not often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vastly reducing the amount of spam and potentially harmful emails that would otherwise be clogging my daily inbox.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
All I can say is that it does a good job in capturing a vast amount of spam and it is easy to scroll through as I often do to ensure nothing "good" has fallen into the net, as it were. It's easy to set and will automatically dump emails after a prescribed time period, so they don't add up.
Great way to stop phishing

Helps you training your employees in phishing attempts
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a lot of reporting options, best if you can create and generate your own reports
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helped in training my staff in what to look at emails that maybe phishing
