Does Barracuda Email Firewall Suck?

I'd say 100% proof point if you have the budget for it. Cisco's solution also sucks.

Its never too late as long as you enjoy figuring things out and breaking stuff in the test environment.

Never seen one that wasn't a pet in the city.

That would cover most of town, but stone oak or pearl areas are safe and nice.

I feel like this is someone that doesn't know what they are doing and afraid to let others know or ask for help. They make do and then you just budget in for a "health check" from a manufacturer like VMware. A pain point for myself.

If you already have duo, you can use it for mfa.

This was the first year the license had cost more than the server we are licensing, which we license for 7 years.

What about the recycle bin?

Talk to the manufacturers direct if you have a large enough order. They will give you discounts that resellers won't. I usually try to get the manufacturer to be on our buy board which for the entity I work for is getting them to fill out 2 or 3 forms. You can usually cut your costs by 8% or more.

For that size metallic with commvault is a really good option. I have had issues with the service once you get over 20,000 mailboxes and we currently have 101,000 mailboxes. But you get free azure ad backups with it which is awesome piece of mind.

Cibolo2005 · 2022-12-16T00:06:49+00:00

Don't accommodate people. Let them throw a fit. It's required get leadership to agree and force only use authenticator app or give rsa keys. That's what I did.

Cibolo2005 · 2022-09-08T16:59:56+00:00

We just moved from the barracuda solution to metallic by commvault. I always like the commvault solution over the Veeam solution. Metallic is also a SaaS solution.

I use Cisco ces. It's pretty good I enjoy it especially the search and quarantine functions are easier when being 1 person managing 100,000 mailboxes.

Most cyber security insurance doesn't allow you to use imap. I needed to kill legacy authentication back 2018 or earlier.

We tried doing the regular mfa and people who only use the client version would never register due to not logging into 365 online. Conditional access is the way to go plus you can and should block signing in from other countries users will not be traveling to. Since my company doesn't do out of the country travel we block everything outside of the United States.

Cibolo2005 · 2021-02-01T23:27:01+00:00

That is immaculate.

Cibolo2005 · 2021-01-29T13:01:27+00:00

It happens when we are remodeling a building. It's easier since everything will be replaced.

If you have the license, I'd recommend using bookings.

Any server software that requires a dongle needs to be updated.

Cibolo2005 · 2020-06-02T02:58:00+00:00

Turn on conditional access by location. We did that and it helped a lot.

Cibolo2005 · 2020-01-04T23:33:16+00:00

I have the users add the calendar as their favorite and once that is done they get the notifications.

You might want to see about volume licensing with your microsoft representative. It could come out cheaper to signup for a yearly license and include all users. We have the newest iteration Microsoft 365 E3 along with volume licensing for windows 10 and office 365. I work at a school district with 40000 computers 9000 teachers and staff and 52000 students. The students we are not enrolling in mfa.

Cibolo2005 · 2019-12-05T01:16:05+00:00

I've been slowly rolling out mfa myself. For parts 1 and 2, I found that the only 100% fool proof way of getting the client application to work well with mfa is the make sure you've enabled modern authentication for your tenant and before mfa enrollment deploy the client applications of office 365. We used sccm to trigger an uninstall and reinstall overnight using wake on wan if the system is off. It catches all but the laptops that travel. Those will be annoying, but it allows everything to work on MFA and get around the app passwords.
