Paubox vs Barracuda

"Everyone on the team was always concerned about what should be sent encrypted, and the tendency was to encrypt everything. However, a lot of times the people who are getting those secure emails can’t open them. The hassle with Barracuda was unbelievable."

Portal-heavy encryption
Barracuda often requires recipients to access messages through a portal. Extra steps create confusion and slow communication with patients and partners.

Room for error
Barracuda relies on policy rules and user actions, like adding keywords or selecting encryption options, to secure email.

Drowning in spam
Barracuda’s filters miss the mark, leaving users buried in junk mail and phishing attempts. IT and staff waste time sifting quarantines instead of focusing on patient care.

No portals, no passwords
Patients and partners open messages right in their inbox. Encryption is invisible, so conversations stay moving.

Encryption on autopilot
Paubox encrypts everything automatically and runs inside your existing email setup (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, etc.). No special steps for senders, no plug-ins to maintain.

AI that stops the noise
Paubox Inbound Email Security uses generative AI to block phishing and spam before they ever hit the inbox.
