Barracuda is committed to R & D to drive growth supported by creativity and innovation. In fact, it leads in its investment in R&D (research and development). Barracuda has announced a number of firsts, including being the first major security appliance vendor to tackle the image spam problem with an integrated optical character recognition engine, the first to announce PDF spam protection, and the first to implement Predictive Sender Profiling techniques such as multi-level intent analysis to combat the latest forms of spam.
It is true that Barracuda leverages open source technologies. We have been quite transparent in both our use and support of the open source community. In fact, open source technologies have been heralded in security applications because of the scrutiny and ongoing contributions from security researchers worldwide. Barracuda utilizes open source technologies for commodity functions in its appliances, including the Linux operating system, SpamAssassin, and ClamAV.
We have remained the market leader not because of the money it spends on advertising. In fact, the opposite is true. Advertising works for Barracuda because the products actually work.
