Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of Barracuda Email Protection are flexibility and customization.""We now have a secondary backup of Office 365 that's much easier to retrieve compared to Microsoft. If someone deletes something in Office 365, we can get it back within Office 365, but it's difficult. Barracuda is much easier. There is a lot less management needed using Barracuda. The management becomes much easier for Office 365 and it's no longer on-prem, so there are fewer hours managing on-prem devices, servers, and things of that nature. We don't have network appliances anymore for the backup of our information.""The most valuable features are security and ease of use.""The archiving and search features are very good.""The most valuable features of Barracuda Essentials are it's a trusted name and is rated very high on review sites. It blocks high percentages of spam and junk email and it's in the cloud. They have hardware appliances, but this is in the cloud. The solution is very effective at blocking malware and blocking spam and this is what we are looking for. There's not a whole lot of complexity, you want a solution that is very good at blocking out all of the unwanted emails.""The most valuable aspect includes attempts to spoof or compromise domains from external sources.""The solution is straightforward to set up.""The best feature of Barracuda Email Protection is that it provides protection for Microsoft 365."

Cons
"Barracuda Essentials can improve by continually adding more features.""They could simplify the licensing and the pricing.""I would like to see better integration with other products.""The solution's reporting mechanism is a little poor and could be improved.""I would like to see some additional functionality in terms of employee monitoring, as part of a work-from-home security solution.""The product must enable bulk user management.""The customer service and support could be improved if the support were available directly in Europe. Currently, the support is often managed from India, so we sometimes need to wait due to the time zone difference. It would be quicker and better if the support were provided by European staff.""The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) could be improved visually."

    Overview

    The popularity of Microsoft 365 means criminals test and design their attacks to bypass its native security features. And that means you need additional layers of defense. With Advanced Threat Protection enabled, Barracuda uses multiple layers of detection, including signature, static, and behavioral analysis, along with CPU-emulation sandboxing to accurately detect and block zero-hour targeted attacks and ransomware.

    Traditional email gateways use static rules and policies—reputation analysis, block lists, and malicious payloads—to determine if an email is malicious.

    Barracuda protects your Microsoft 365 inbox against evasive threats with a powerful AI engine that learns the unique communication patterns within your organization through access to internal and historical emails. Once it understands what legitimate emails looks like for each user, it can detect anomalies that signal malicious intent. This context-based detection is more effective at blocking targeted attacks, which are designed to bypass traditional rule-based email security.

    Veritas Enterprise Vault is a comprehensive information archiving solution that helps organizations manage and protect their data. It enables seamless archiving of emails, files, and other unstructured data, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. With advanced search and retrieval capabilities, it allows users to quickly access archived information.
