Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Rachel Fell: I was just about to put "adequate"/adequately" (when I saw you'd done so!) - or sufficient/ly; sometimes in Eng. it might be e.g. "tidiness adequate/sufficient" rather than using an adverb
9 mins
  -> that would work too. Thanks!
agree  kringle: I prefer adequately to sufficiently
19 mins
  -> so do I. Thank you!
agree  irenef: adequately
50 mins
  -> I agree! Thanks!
agree  Caterina Passari: yes,irenef,i'd rather "adequately"
1 hr
  -> ok, ok! I'm with you! Thanks!
agree  Daniela Zambrini: yes, I'd use "adequately/adequate" too
1 hr
  -> Thanks, Daniela!
agree  Kimberly Wastler: I vote for "adequate"
3 hrs
  -> Thank you, Kimberly!
agree  Gian: mi sembra che sufficientemente significhi che "è OK per il rotto della cuffia" mentre adeguatamente mi sembra che vuol dire che è OK, ovvero in linea con la specifica; se un pezzo è adeguato non significa che è "appena-appena buono"!!!

Explanation:
I would use 'adequately/sufficiently' to indicate 'una sufficienza soddisfacente' and 'barely' to indicate 'una sufficienza al limite con la scarsezza'.
