AG Anthony G. Systems Administrator Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/5/2024 "Too many false positives based on algorithms, no real improvement" 2/5 What do you like best about Barracuda Impersonation Protection? It is a decent high level security dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Barracuda Impersonation Protection? Tons of false positives massively over-weighting the sending address e.g. gmail, icloud, outlook.com are almost impossible to get delivered because they have a rep score of 0. We have had repeated issues where customers would email nothing more than a screenshot of our app or a photo of an invoice, as requested by agents, and they would be blocked/moved to Junk because of impersonation protection's "extremely high confidence" of phishing when in fact there is no real way to phish this way.

Senior Network Administrator Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/24/2024 "New insights to Barracuda ESS" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Barracuda Impersonation Protection? Being able to view and remediate emails at a higher level that may otherwise be delivered to the end user is a stellar feature. I like the highlighting of potential issues in an email body, domain information (such as when a domain was registered), email flagging based on spam or conversation hijacking. We log into Impersonation Protection multiple times a day to review incoming emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Barracuda Impersonation Protection? There are times that emails get flagged that shouldn't. While remediation is easy, it seems that the learning is still a bit off. Where it is not preferred to whitelist any particular sender or domain, we do see from time to time the same emails getting flagged and marked as junk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
