Users have reported that it proactively intercepts and blocks malicious emails, effectively preventing hackers from taking over.

Reviews
(1-5 of 5)We recently used it also to setup DMARC correctly and the ease of use is again great.
- Set and forget
- Very easy
- Simple to use dashboard
- documentation and webinars cover a lot.
- Small company's don't really benefit from the AI
- It would be great if some more rule intelligence could be added.
- dmarc setup made ease
- set and forget security
- Less administration time to check suspicious logins
- AI works very well. No false positives
- It is an addon. It improves your security but will not stop all threats
- it is an extra security on the mailboxes
- we get alerted on suspicious activity
- our mailsetup is correctly implemented (spf, dkim, dmarc)
- the suspicious rule creation stopped an attack quite early.
- monitoring of the "shadow" it: who sends legit mail
- Cloud Solutions
- Integration with Other Systems
- Ease of Use
- Implemented in-house
Later we did the correct setup for Dmarc (and spf, dkim due to information in the documentation of sentinel)
- we saw that our dkim was incorrectly set.
- No Training
the domain fraud section works perfect. The link towards forensics and remediation is really good.
- setup is quite easy and straightforward
- dmarc setup really helps
- you have to trust the system.

Barracuda Sentinel Review
- Account Takeover Reporting
- Dashboard reports are great for management
- Very easy to read inbox rule report
- I have not found the Domain Fraud to be very helpful
- If we can block one person from taking over an account then it is worth the price. It did.
- The dashboard graphs have been great for management
- Alerts us to account takeovers against users
- Alerts us to suspicious/phishing emails and allows us to review the incident
- Alerts us to domain fraud
- Reporting could use more filters or options
- Within our first month of use, Sentinel detected and stopped an account takeover
- We've had numerous phishing emails detected and removed
Barracuda Sentinel is a Game Changer
- Phishing prevention; Sentinel has reduced our instances of phishing by some absurd number. Previously we were no only "underwater" when it came to phishing, we were drowning in it. This product reduced that number by upwards of 95%+.
- spear-phishing prevention; see above.
- User detection; using the free trial, Sentinel examined our network for the better part of 24-48 hours over our O365 instance, not our network. The product was able to a 100% rate identify all of the critical users in our firm AND show the number of hits they recently endured.
- The free trial not only identified critical users (people who had signature authority, spending authority, etc.) but it also started intercepting phishing attempts. When I went to sell this to my boss, I had a stack of over 60 attempts over two weeks to show her proof that the product worked.
- The product is pretty solid so I am not sure how it can be improved. One thing I noticed recently, I am not getting the emails back from Sentinel when I send in a "miss". Used to be I got an email back saying "sorry we missed this, we are improving." That does happen anymore, so I am assuming that when I send a miss, the AI is getting better.
- I would expand this to cover all kinds of email fraud like ransomware and spam rather than creating another product.
- All positive, prior to deploying Sentinel we had at least 3 times when users bit on phishing attacks and bought $500 in iTunes gift cards as requested by the phisher. Our HR Director was also ready to send another phisher all the company W2's as requested. Since deployment, we sleep a little better at night.
- It's really hard to put a value on this product. It has been worth every penny by reducing our Spear Phishing and Phishing attacks by upwards of 90-95%+. How do you put a figure on that? In two months of testing, it intercepted 240+ Phishing and Spear phishing attempts. How do you attach a monetary figure to a situation where you are able to not have to deal with a problem and work on something else? 15 minutes per attempt? Times 60 in 60-days? $45/hour for an engineer? The ROI has been well worth it.
- Stops Phising
- Stops Spear Phishing
- Easy to use
- Reliable
- We have not gone too far off the stated purpose, would love to know about what else we could do with the product. We are a 2-man shop, and there isn't a lot of time to consider alternatives uses.
- Not sure, I would love to understand how other organizations are using the product differently that I currently am using Sentinel.
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Product Reputation
- Implemented in-house
- Getting users who didn't pay attention to our change management efforts to understand what the end result would be.
- Releasing non-Phishing emails
- Reporting missed Phishing emails
- Beyond the basic functionality I am unaware of other features that I could be using. A user group or directed emails "Hey, did you know?"
