It knows if you are compromised and it alerts you and administrators to take action. It also protects as a proactive by intercepting bad emails before hackers have the ability to take over. Pros Industry leader in spearphishing protection. Software reads through emails and learns how individuals write and determines if things are "different" if they are compromised. Extremely useful as there is no technical safeguard once a breach occurs. Cons The software is difficult to "sell" as spearphishing is still an unknown attack vector for most people. Phishing is dangerous, but people start to realize that THEY are being directly targeted versus casting a wide net and no one believes it'll happen to them before it's too late. Alternatives considered [Proofpoint Email Protection](https://www.capterra.com/p/175873/Proofpoint-Email-Protection/) Reason for choosing Barracuda Impersonation Protection Barracuda is still the originator and industry leader in anti-spearphishing.

Sales and implementation and Tech Support has/was good. Seems to be a set it and forget it. Options or settings are good as well as Reports. Team actually contacted us for a follow up, evaluation of Setting which was refreshing. Pros Barracuda Sentinel is relatively affordable and easy to implement as a cloud-based service for Office 365 users. Cons No so much a Con, but my thought and to be brutally honest, I was not excited about any AI Products. However the further down the road we go with this product - the better I feel we made a very good choice. I see no Cons at this time. Alternatives considered [Proofpoint Email Protection](https://www.capterra.com/p/175873/Proofpoint-Email-Protection/) Reason for choosing Barracuda Impersonation Protection POC was much better. Implementation and options seemed to be smoother. Sales and cost were better.

It keeps your mind at ease knowing that your employees are less likely to be duped into clicking a harmful email. It runs in the background, so it is not obtrusive, but can be a taxing resource on your pc. Cons When downloading a file from an email, it will scan it for threats, which is great. Unfortunately, it can take quite a long time to scan each file, and it frequently locks up so you have to keep re-downloading the file in order to view it. It can be very frustrating. This might be due to a connection issue or the software itself, I am unsure.

Service / support is fantastic. Staff is always friendly and easy to work with. Pros Reliability! This is the most reliable spam software system out there. Once you get it tuned to your liking its pretty much set it and forget it. It just WORKS. Cons Settings take a bit of getting used to - but once you've had it for a while any changes you need to make become intuitive.

Pros It is really good about spaming the right emails. I like how it asks you if the emails are spam before it hides them from you so you don't lose an important email.

My first time using it, I had a few hiccups but once you get the hang of it. Its like a baby learning to crawl. Pros Due to the environment I work it, It was a challenge working from home as you are unable to access certain work programs outside of the company but with Barracuda, this made it accessible. Cons I have no negative feedbacks towards the program. It isnt a difficult program to use and its a great security feature to have.
