Chose Barracuda Email Protection
We used Zix before migrating to M365 with a different mail server company. It was okay, but didn't offer all of the features Barracuda did at basically the same price point.
Barracuda Essentials has a far easier admin pannel than is provided by mimecast along with far more filtering options such as dkim. Much easier to do the initial setup along with much better support provided. Barracuda Essentials has Advanced threat protection that uses AI to …
365 defender has a tool for user security training, it is much more rudimentary than Barracudas, but the interface is much nicer. Both offer email attack testing, reporting, and training, but barracuda offers additional attack types, like file and SMS testing. Both seem to …
Barracuda is much more price-conscious and offers a total package of security products along with their training. I believe SANS training is much deeper and offers a more diverse training program, as well as ramifications for those gamified users or those not passing initial …
Both products are very similar in providing a complete package for security awareness training, education, assessment, and ongoing evaluation. KnowBe4 has more functionality for the gamification aspect and a slightly richer template base for phishing simulations. Barracuda …
We have been a long-standing customer of Barracuda Backups Cloud to Cloud and Main Backups so this was a logical extension of what we had already been doing and the positive results we had been receiving on the other products
Our decision for phishing awareness training was based on multiple factors, we wanted an all-in-one suite for email protection and awareness training for the company. Barracuda security sweet covered everything we needed but the company's needs. We didn't want a piecemeal from …
The simulation can't be scheduled. They are by default scheduled 2 weeks after the end of the module. No customization in the training. The training path is not flexible. Users are forced to go through different topics one after another. It's not possible to choose for example …
Barracuda offers a large, feature-rich platform that deeply integrates with their other email security products. It is easy to set up and it offers a large library of English campaigns
Overall the products are very similar however as Barracuda offers a one-stop shop for email security and awareness training this is better preferred from an IT Admin Perspective
Very far behind other platforms such as KnowBe4, i alsmot get the impression that Barracuda is a 10 year + older product that is no longer able to compete with the newer products. A complete overhaul is required to make it user friendly and competitive again. Phishline looks …
I would definitely recommend it due to the decent pricing. I wish the MS built-in M365 tools were better, but Barracuda does a good job of taking their place. For industries that need DLP on their email, like healthcare, banking, and education, Barracuda provides a reliable product for a good cost. The additional services you get, malware/AV filtering, URL filtering, spam protection, business continuity, those are all icing on the cake. The only issues we've ever really had with them is that it will sometimes take a back/forth string of emails and decide randomly to encrypt it, so what was a flowing benign conversation is now locked behind a wall for recipients. As the sender, you have no idea when it's going to decide to do this and have to remember to tag emails with a decrypt tag long before it happens or face the consequences
The cyber security training, paired with the phishing simulator will reduce your company's vulnerability, at the same time that it flags the localized issues, so specific groups can be targeted later on. Phishing and scamming have become less of a problem once the users were better educated on how to prevent and identify scams/phishings.
The software helps us create emails that look exactly or almost exactly the same as the phishing emails we found in our email gateway.
We already use the ESS gateway from Barracuda Networks, and in the TEP bundle, this software is included, so it's not that much work to also configure this.
In the software, we can see reports on how our users performed. We can make a selection of users that are more prone to click on "false" links, and this way, we can help them individually.
Engages - People enjoy the videos, they are fun and interesting and they get people talking.
Customer Service - NINJIOs customer service is some of the most amazing I have ever experienced in any industry.
Simplifies - Information Security and the way breaches happen can be very complicated and technical, NINJIO manages to distill this down to easily understandable situations and ways the issue could have been avoided.
Great Value - NINJIO offers additional peace of mind for your information security at a very reasonable cost.
The #1 feedback I receive from users is that they have limited time for training. It would be nice if the training would be offered in 3-time categories (e.g. up to 3 minutes, up to 5 minutes and up to 10 minutes). This way user's can select a category that matches their availability.
Although cost competitive, we still feel like we are not digging deep enough to train our staff. We have little to no way other than digging through reports that have not proven to be adequately documented (hey you, Barracuda campaign reports) to identify and require users to take more training who have not passed their requirements.
Regarding usability, we like it to be an easy solution to implement and configure on the server. Routine backups are made frequently and reports are issued for control and analysis by information security teams. It has great integration with the cloud and encryption.
NINJIO has an overall easy platform to use. I'm not a fan that I have to use one hub and the Dojo to access different things. The platform does lack a few things, like timestamps of training completion and a schedule of what videos are going to come. The Dojo platform is good, overall.
I have not had to use customer support yet which goes to show the effectiveness of the program. It also shows how easy the program is to use for the average person with no experience using this type of program. Our IT department also does a great job at teaching us to detect emails with malware that in combination with this software issues rarely arise even though we have over 500 employees.
Great support. Support is always there to help you whenever required. They have the quickest response to your request. They also keep monitoring the campaign launches and will notify you if you have missed any month
We really didn't evaluate any other products. We considered using the filtering features that come with our Office 365 subscription, but just didn't feel it was sufficient protection for our business. Being a medical clinic, we felt like we needed to implement the best solution for our email protection and we found Barracuda Essentials was the leader.
