Overview
Barracuda offers email security, firewalls, backup and XDR - but modular licensing and fragmented consoles can create tool fatigue and higher costs for MSPs.
enhanced.io consolidates threat detection, response and vulnerability insight in one MSP-centric Open XDR platform, reducing licence creep and delivering 24×7 SOC automation with transparent per-user pricing.
Where
Barracuda
falls short for MSPs
Separate consoles and update cycles create overhead for technicians.
Each product SKU adds a licence; bundling often increases total cost unexpectedly.
Teams must learn and maintain disparate toolsets instead of one workflow.
Cross-product correlation requires manual tuning and API bridges.
Some modules integrate deeply only with Barracuda tools, restricting openness.
SOC / MDR add-ons drive costs beyond base licences.
How enhanced.io solves these gaps
One console covers endpoint, network, cloud and identity - no product juggling.
Connects to existing Barracuda (or any) email gateway; no rip-and-replace.
Per-user plan includes every capability; no hidden line items.
Single interface, shared analytics layer and common policy engine cut training time.
Correlates signals across 400 + integrations for richer detections.
Built-in scanning and remediation guidance; no extra appliance.
Multi-vector attacks: Quickly tie phishing emails to endpoint beacons and lateral movement in one place.
Operational efficiency: Fewer portals = faster triage, fewer tickets.
Cost predictability: One licence avoids the surprises of stacking multiple Barracuda SKUs.
