Barracuda Spam Firewall 400 review

Monday 3 April 2006, 3:34 PM

Quality product, incredibly effective


I have no idea why I waited so long to pull the trigger and buy a Barracuda! From the moment I activated it it's been effectively and accurately eliminating spam. While out-of-the-box it seems to be working great, the geek in me insists on playing with the settings. The interface is intuitive, although somewhat sparse in in-depth descriptions. Fortunately the company Web site includes extensive documentation.

While by no means perfect, if you're having spam problems at your organization, this is a good choice. The end users were thrilled as much as I was, which is saying something, since they're never happy with anything we do :)
