Configuration
Configuration of the Barracuda IM Firewall is accomplished through a simple Web-based administration
interface that is built into the system. There is no software to install and no CDs or floppies to lose.
Statistics Reporting
The Barracuda IM Firewall's administrative tools feature state-of-the-art,
statistical reporting that give you a visual edge on IM usage within your network.
LDAP Integration
LDAP-compatible directory services, such as Microsoft Active Directory,
are supported by the Barracuda IM Firewall making it possible to use
the users and groups already on the network.
Integration with LDAP allows administrators to
create accounts and policy rules with ease.
Users and groups from an existing directory system can be used when creating
rules governing access to public IM networks, file transfer privileges, content filtering, and user rosters.
Content Filtering gives administrators the option to be alerted when certain key words, phrases, or regular expressions are used in an IM conversation by their users. Notifications can be sent to any email or IM address specified by the administrator.
User Reporting
User reports can be generated to display a detailed picture
of employee IM use and presence, providing a graphical
view of its use and helping to prevent abuse, both
within your network and on the public IM channels.
Daily Reporting
Daily Reports can be sent to any email address specified by the administrator.
Reports can be used to track the most prolific IM users on your network,
both internally and externally, as well as track times of peak IM usage
and the most frequent hyperlinks sent amongst your users.

Before the Barracuda IM Firewall, our previous IM server was very difficult to maintain and a nightmare when it came to reliability. As our company continues to grow we seem to have a growing remote workforce that is on the road, and the Barracuda IM Firewall makes it easier for them to communicate with each other instead of using a phone or email. Also, our sales and marketing people love using the Barracuda IM Client to connect to their AIM and Yahoo accounts, giving them another way to communicate with customers.
