Hi,
Sorry I don't have experience with this product.
I do have limited experience with Barracuda Networks appliance and I think is a great product for an e-mail filter which I had experienced with my friend to set up on their network & email server. It is easy to set up, configure and maintain so for an alternative to spamassassin this is great alternative. Price a fairly good and since they were a educational institute they got an discount.

I have to violently disagree. As an administrator of a system with 184 email groups and over 7000 subscribers on it, I absolutely hate Barracuda products. Out of the box, they specialize in creating huge amounts of backscatter (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_(e-mail) for more info) which is SPAM.

Ease of setup and use are not the primary reason for purchasing any product, IMO.

Does anybody have any experience with this product?

My company wants to replace SpamAssassin with this product, due to SpamAssassin being not being up to par other products.

My argument is that people we give SpamAssassin to have no clue how to use it and what it's designed to do, therefore they think it sucks.
