We are using Barracuda email security gateway (300 model) from past one year to filter spam , so far its good.Renewal time is nearby & 3 years renewal costing around 10,000 $ with taxes. (including ATP/EU/IR)
Management asked to look for alternative product just in case if the renewal case gets denied dueto costing.
Alternate option under consideration is symantec messaging gateway virtual appliance with 3 years renewal , costing around 3000 $.
can someone please share their experiences with Symantec Messaging Gateway as comapred to barracuda?
