"Having come to accept spam as a fact of life in our staffâs inboxes, one morning I discovered no spam in my inbox. I asked around and all our staff happily reported the same findings. A short discussion with our network administrator informed me that they had a Barracuda Spam Firewall 300 on trial. I immediately authorised the purchase of the unit and have been delighted with its performance since."

"SEC DataCom A/S sent a demo unit of the (Barracuda) Spam Firewall 400 to see if the appliance could block the large amounts of spam we receive on a daily basis. We must admit that we are very happy with the progress so far as the (Barracuda) Spam Firewall 400 blocked over one million spam mails for a period of just 14 days. We have now purchased a (Barracuda Spam Firewall) 400"

âAs a small business with a name starting with âA,â it seemed as if we were the first port of call for most spammers. Initially we had a software-based anti spam system from Sophos, but this was still letting a lot of the spam through, including a lot of offensive mail! The Barracuda (Spam Firewall) came highly recommended by our security advisors, and after logging the examples of the spam and not spam, it has proved to be highly effective. I would highly recommend the Barracuda (Spam Firewall) to any business looking for a spam blocker.â

"At Alliance Laundry Systems, we have four Barracuda Spam Firewalls, two Barracuda Web Filters and recently installed a Barracuda Message Archiver as well. Weâve found the appliances easy to use with the features we need. As a worldwide company, itâs important to be able to block spam and viruses throughout the company, enforce Internet usage policies, and archive emails for compliance purposes. Your customer service and tech support are great. I'll continue to recommend your boxes."

"The Barracuda Spam Firewall's virus and spam filtering capabilities allow our sales
and support staff to do their work rather than cleaning out their inboxes."

"Thanks for your help with upgrading our Barracuda Spam Firewall. Barracuda Networks has been an awesome company to work with and I absolutely love the product. It is the easiest piece of equipment I have EVER installed. I read about companies that have problems with spam and virus attacks and I scratch my head and wonder why people haven't switched to a product such as yours. Why run software on top of windows boxes that are susceptible to the same viruses you are trying to catch! Makes no sense to me. Your customer service and tech support is great. I'll continue to recommend your boxes." |

"My IT guy has been testing your unit the last week or so and is very impressed. He's wondering how your product appears to do everything the much higher priced products from your competitors can do. I told him it must be a new paradigm." |

"The executive staff had to spend 20 minutes of every day just cleaning up their inboxs. Barracuda Networks is the difference between night and day.
We've decreased spam without any complaints from our users."

"We love our Barracuda Spam Firewalls. They are performing excellently for us. They seem to be an optimal solution for any organization of any size that is seeking a cost effective total solution to spam. The only shortcoming might be for IT/IS deployments and managers that are seeking to purchase more expensive equipment and solutions in a never-ending quest to build and justify expensive fifedoms." |
| Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department | |

"Of the first 150,000+ messages, (the Barracuda Spam Firewall) blocked 98.2% of them as spam or viruses, allowing our Exchange hardware to once again handle our email workload on a timely basis...I manage the IT department here that serves our 1,500 police officers as they provide public safety services to 700,000 citizens. CMPD is a well respected technology leader in the law enforcement community. If the performance of (the Barracuda Spam Firewall) continues at the level we are experiencing during these first few hours, you may be assured I will be spreading the word about your product and service."

"Our unit continues to perform flawlessly and managed to filter out 100 percent of the (MyDoom) virus e-mails even before it was officially recognized and identified by any of the major anti-virus vendors. As a direct result, we can easily attribute $10,000 to $50,000 in savings for our own organization ... and probably 10 times that for the other organizations we were able to notify in time. Considering the cost of a unit is less than one-tenth of that, and was not installed for this purpose, just blows everyone away."
-- Information and Communications Technology Supervisor, City of Coquitlam |

"The spam is GREATLY reduced. I went from about 300 spam emails daily to around 4 or 5 overnight. The Barracuda really takes the bite out of spam! I fought with spam for four years and I could not even get close to performance and results I see with the Barracuda Spam Firewall. Email is viable once again at CyberLynk.com" |

"I am extremely pleased with the Barracuda Spam Firewall 400. It works flawlessly, is simple to configure and easy to manage. I will recommend it whenever I have the opportunity. It's worth much more!" |

âAbout a month ago our old anti-spam software was set to expire and rather than renew it, I chose to buy a Barracuda Spam Firewall 100. Spam has been knocked right down to almost nothing. (blocking over 56,000 messages in three weeks) I really am impressed with the quality of the Barracuda (Spam Firewall) 100, as well as the ease of use and teaching it what is and isnât spam. I also really appreciate the constant updates of the anti-spam and a/v databases. More companies should adopt Barracuda (Networks) hardware and anyone who asks me about anti-spam solutions will be hearing about Barracuda (Networks) products.â |

"I was quite pleased to purchase a Barracuda Spam Firewall 200 to evaluate for one of my clients. It was so easy to set up, right out of the box. With no configuration, very low maintenance and a very low price, the Barracuda Spam Firewall is very good for my customers."

| EvidentData | |
|
"EvidentData is a small but growing expert consulting company. All of our people have technical skills but are generally occupied with case-related tasks, so reducing information technology overhead is very important to us. Anti-virus and spam have been two of our primary areas of concern. The Barracuda Spam Firewall has saved us a significant amount of time by blocking massive numbers of spam emails and viruses with little oversight required. Another substantial benefit is that in the event we have downtime with our mail server, the Barracuda Spam Firewall will queue up incoming mail so that our clients do not experience any interruption of service."

"We had a demo unit of the (Barracuda) Spam Firewall 400 sent to us for a test period of 30 days. Already on the first day, we experienced a drastic reduction in incoming spam mails and it didnât take long before we were receiving very positive feedback from our users. After 3 months with a clustered Barracuda (Spam Firewall) 400 solution, we have been spared from over 2 million spam mails. Today, we use a minimum amount of time to administer the unit and we havenât received any false positives at all since launching of our Barracuda Spam Firewall."

"Of course we don't like spam, and obviously we don't want to spend hours trying to keep it out. That's why we bought a set of Barracuda Spam Firewall 400s. It's all the good of open-source, improved and put in an easy-to-use box by Barracuda Networks. This results in minimal maintenance, which is even more improved by outstanding support. The number of spam messages keeps increasing at the (Barracuda) Spam Firewall, but not anymore in our thousands of inboxes."

"Our (Barracuda) Spam Firewall has received and filtered 4.700.000 mails, since we purchased it some three years ago. I log onto the unit approximately every three week to see if has downloaded and installed the newest Energize Update, etc. We have never experienced any problems regarding Energize Updates or firmware, so itâs a minimum amount of time I use to administrate the Barracuda Spam Firewall. Basically the unit takes care of itself⌠stability and operational reliability are two key factors which has impacted most to the success for the councilâs over 2000 unique users. Iâm very happy for our Barracuda Spam Firewall 300."

"Spam was growing exponentially at our organization and was causing a tremendous decrease in productivity for our users. The software solution that we had in place was not scaling to meet the increased flood quickly or efficiently enough so we started researching other available solutions. The Barracuda Spam Firewall was the perfect fit for us because it allowed our users the ability to determine how aggressively they wanted to fight spam in their own inbox. In addition, the Barracuda Spam Firewall reduced the maintenance costs we were experiencing from fighting viruses. We were so impressed with the solution, we also signed up as a reseller and have so far helped ease the pain of spam and viruses for more than 30 businesses. The Barracuda Spam Firewall is by far one of the best IT purchases we have ever made." -- Senior Network Engineer, InfoCop |

"We had a demo unit of the Barracuda Web Filter 310 sent to us. After having it installed for some days and with a little help from tech support through SEC DataCom A/S, we could see the unit as a part of our IT infrastructure. Within the first month as a part of our security, it has filtered 1,4 million URL requests and blocked around 200.000 of them⌠The LDAP integration makes it possible to differentiate how the (Barracuda) Web Filter should block access to different sites based on the user or a group. From an administratorâs point of view, the Barracuda Web Filter 310 is very straight forward and the menus are very intuitive."

| Laguna Tools | |

âA colleague of mine recommended the Barracuda Spam Firewall because the solution we were previously using continually crashed. Since installing the Barracuda Spam Firewall 100 at Laguna Tools less than a month ago, three million spam messages have been blocked and the amount of spam we receive has gone down considerably. In fact, 20,000 messages have been blocked so far today.â -- IT Manager/Logistics Manager, Laguna Tools |

"The Barracuda Spam Firewall is quite possibly the best thing to happen to email in the fight against spam. As a staffing company, we get a lot of outside email, to put it mildly...It is definitely a challenge to keep the bad emails out and the good ones coming in. The Barracuda Spam Firewall has done an amazing job of keeping false positives to almost ZERO!! The technical support is amazing, the features are extremely customizable, and we couldn't be happier with this device!" -- Network Administrator, Lloyd Staffing |

"I just wanted to let you know that we have had our demo model online now for exactly one week today and my supervisors are now bored because they have virtually no junk email to go through. I walked into the bank this morning and the executive vice president told me that he now had nothing to do in the mornings. I was hoping for some relief but this went way above and beyond my expectations. In this one week period we have Blocked 75,608 emails and all that I can tell are legitimate junk. No complaints about not getting their good mail, and very few what I call spam going to the end users Exchange Inbox. I just felt like passing this information on to someone there with the company, and keep up the great w ork!" |

"We're the largest regional news channel in the USA, and we've been using the Barracuda Spam Firewall 300 since April 2004 with fantastic results. To say that we're pleased with the unit would be a gross understatement. At times, more than 95 percent of the email we receive is spam, and the Model 300 does a phenomenal job of getting rid of this spam before it arrives in everyone's inboxes. Bravo to you for a product well done." -- Information Systems & Technology Manager, New England Cable News |
| NMC Group | |

often times deleting important emails in the process, that they couldn't get their work done. The Barracuda Spam Firewall has turned email into a productive business tool again. We are very pleased."

"I just wanted to write and let you know how happy I am with the purchase of our Barracuda (Spam Firewall 300). After using a different spam filter for the past three years, I was hesitant as to how well spam could really be controlled. Now that I am using the Barracuda (Spam Firewall 300), I am totally impressed. We have yet to see any false positives, and the spam has been virtually eliminated. My experience with your technical support department has also been very positive...In summary, this was the best $2,000 we have spent towards our network in a long time."

"I wanted to take a moment and commend you on a well thought out technical vision, which resulted in a 'top shelf device.' I have been involved with security and government for a number of years, and I rarely encounter, a device (such as the Barracuda Spam Firewall) that offers so much 'bang for the buck.' I have statically proven the technical and fiscal benefits of this device, repeatedly. I sincerely appreciate the Barracuda Networks' hard work and dedication." --CIO, State of Louisiana, 19th Judicial District |

"We purchased a Barracuda Spam Firewall 300 back in April and it is superb. The new version 3.x enhancements are excellent. Kudos to the Barracuda Networks team. I think the ROI was only three months with the increased productivity." |

"I've looked for an appropriate spam solution for a long time. I've even purchased one of the larger solutions. In just one week, your product has made a huge difference to our organization. I was frustrated with both the cost and implementation models of many of the most popular packages. For a company our size (under 50 mailboxes) either the product wasn't realistic to be cost effective, or poorly implemented at a price point appropriate for us. Here is why I wanted to thank you and let you know how much I'm valuing the purchase

"As a Director of IT/IS, improving the quality of communications is priority No. 1. Unfortunately, society now operates in the world of e-mail and instant messaging, thus ensuring information received is credible and free from the vast array of âundesirablesâ is a challenge. Implementing an appliance like the Barracuda (Spam Firewall) 300 is a great solution. In just one monthâs time, the Barracuda (Spam Firewall) 300 reached a milestone of 5,000,000 blocked messages for our supported domains. The LDAP feature for checking validity against active users, eliminating the need to continually block email addresses for past employees, is worth its weight in gold."

"We would like to send you a huge thank you for the Barracuda Spam Firewall. The first weekend it caught over 5,000 spam emails. Since then, on any given day, it blocks 7-10 viruses and over 500 spam mail messages - WOW! As a small business our top priority in customer service is connecting and caring for our customers. On average, our front desk was receiving 700 emails a day, 685 of them were spam. The CEO used to receive approximately 300 spam emails a day. We had previously installed an Internet-based blocker, but that caught less than 1/4 of the spam. It would take forever each morning to get through our email messages and sometimes we would miss customer issues. Our front desk now only receives 20 emails a day -these are from our customers- so we can spend time doing our business and managing our customers. Additionally, with the Barracuda Spam Firewall's removal of spam from our CEO's inbox, she can now focus on selling instead of digging through her email to find actual work email. The Barracuda Spam Firewall has tripled our efficiencies and has given us the opportunity to immediately review and support customer issues, and increase sales opportunities. Thank you so much for this system -- it has changed our world." |

"The Barracuda Spam Firewall 300 was easy to setup with no intrusion to our existing email system. Even without additional configuration, it immediately reduced the level of spam received by the UHI Millennium Institute. The Barracuda Spam Firewall 300 has not only dramatically reduced our levels of spam, but also the time taken dealing with it."

âI think Barracuda Load Balancers are really good⌠In our case, we decided Direct Server Return was the best method for us due the high amount of data and services we manage.

"I was fence-sitting about whether we needed a full-fledged appliance for spam. We've had the Barracuda Spam Firewall 300 in for a couple of months now and in retrospect, I had no idea how much garbage poured into our email server. The statistics are startling. I'm pleased on many levels: the ease at which the product can be customized, the "at-a-glance" reporting screens, search features and straightforward interface. Pricing was also reasonable. Thanks for a great product." -- Director of Information Technology, Washington State Historical Society |
| Washington State University | |

"Washington State University uses a Barracuda cluster to offload the processing of Spam and is our first layer of virus protection. Barracuda Networks customer support is fantastic and their product is getting better with each release. As far as bang for the buck goes, I don't think anyone else can touch them. We are running Exchange and Sendmail behind the Barracuda Spam Firewall and it works perfectly. We've cut email traffic down to our mail servers by a whopping 80 percent. It's just amazing." |
