IRONSCALES Email Protect vs Xeams

IRONSCALES Email Protect is a cloud email-security product that scans links and attachments and uses Adaptive AI with customizable automation. Its detection covers phishing, business email compromise, VIP impersonation, QR code attacks, and generative AI attacks. Themis automatically classifies, clusters, and remediates threats identified by machine learning or reported by users. Native API connections support Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace without MX record changes or agents. The platform can also connect with SIEM, SOAR, XDR, and EDR systems for incident-response workflows. Optional email encryption uses OTP and AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest; a separate add-on provides policy-triggered encryption with DLP templates for HIPAA, PCI, and GDPR. IRONSCALES describes a threat intelligence network of more than 36,000 security professionals across more than 18,000 organizations. The company states it is SOC 2 Type II certified, with the report available to customers by written request. Pricing is on request, and a 14-day free trial is available. Listed platforms are Android, iOS, API, and web.

Xeams is an email server and spam firewall that can run standalone, sit in front of another mail server, or operate in hybrid mode. It supports SMTP, POP3, and IMAP, alongside email technologies including DKIM, SPF, DMARC, and MTA-STS. Filtering uses sender reputation, authentication checks, attachment and content rules, Bayesian analysis, and virus checks. Administrators use a web interface for live monitoring, logs, reports, retention settings, and tiered administration. Quarantined messages are kept on the server for 15 days by default and can be reached through the web interface or an IMAP client. Integrations include Active Directory and OAuth 2.0 outbound relaying for services such as Microsoft Exchange Online or Google Workspace. Outbound tools include DKIM signing, REST APIs, webhooks, campaigns, read receipts, and header sanitization. A new installation has Enterprise features for 30 days before converting to Community Edition unless licensed. Community Edition is free for up to 5 personal hobby users when spam filtering is used; its spam filtering is otherwise limited to 5 users. Enterprise Edition with Support is $300 a year per deployed instance; Enterprise per-user prices vary by tier.
