Mailprotector vs. SpamHero

Mailprotector offers a resilient solution at an affordable rate that makes it perfect for small and medium businesses. Larger organizations or businesses that are frequently targeted with phishing messages may not find Mailprotector to be the suitable. Recent phishing trends are commonly making it through their filters, so I would discourage businesses that experience frequent attacks from using this product.

This is a good solution for a small or medium business that gets a ton of spam. I’ve had users spam bombed several times in recent years and was able to tighten filters to prevent them from receiving so much subscription mail. For the price it’s a great value and while it doesn’t have the same feature set of services 5x the cost it’s a great entry point into email filtering.

The online Interface is fairly straightforward and easy to admin. New features have been added since I started using it and we’ve always been able to find and release false positives when that does happen. Very Easy to find, release and approve-list emails and changes settings from the web interface.

Mailprotector provides a guided installation that not only helps the administrator quickly deploy the solution, but it also provides a real-time update to let you know if any change was successfully applied. Our users prefer the interface and filtering reports over the competing products. Mailprotector has consistently done a better job of filtering spam than the other solutions we've tried.
