We have been using the Barracuda device for over a year and we are very
happy with its performance.

Subject: [SECURITY] Network Based Anti-Spyware Solution

 

Hey,

 

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with a network based
anti-spyware solution.  We are currently evaluating an appliance and
we're not having much luck with it, so I'm not sure if we got a lemon or
if it's an indication of all their products.  We're basically looking
from something that that we can put inline within our network and have
it block spyware without having to install a piece of software on all of
clients.

 

So I'm just looking for some feedback about some possible appliances
that people are using or even units that you might have evaluated that
didn't work out.  Thanks.
