We have used 400 and 600 for both email and web filters. Work well for
our environment, easy to setup and manage. 

 

Thank you,

Over recent years we've used both Barracuda 300's and 400's as our
primary email filtering and the devices are very effective in detecting
spam and viruses.  The boxes are also easy to setup and administer.

For those of you who are currently using Barracuda's Spam and Virus
Firewall product, I am interested in any feedback you are able to
provide.  In particular, I am interested in the following:

 

1.       Model (400, 600, 800, etc.)

2.       Ease of setup/use

3.       Single appliance or HA configuration

4.       How effective are you finding it?

 

Thanks in advance for your response.
