Comparison: Barracuda Advanced Email Security vs. Microsoft 365 Native Email Security

Barracuda Advanced Email Security outperforms Microsoft 365’s native email security (e.g., Exchange Online Protection, Defender for Office 365), which offers basic filtering but lacks advanced sandboxing, robust DLP, and email continuity. Barracuda provides a unified, proactive solution. The grid below highlights key differences, with a short description under each feature name:
