Mailinblack Protect vs SpamHero Business Email Security

Mailinblack Protect is an email-security solution for companies, public administrations, and healthcare institutions. It covers anti-spam, anti-malware, anti-phishing, and anti-spearphishing protection, with inbound and, in Protect Advanced, outbound controls. Secure Link uses artificial intelligence to analyze links in received messages and warn users about dangerous destinations. A deep-learning model classifies email legitimacy and productivity while detecting threats, notifications, and newsletters. Administrators can configure filtering parameters, keyword categories, SPF verification, IP exclusions, rules, and alerts. Protect is available in Cloud or On-Premise configurations and is described as compatible with all messaging systems and hosting providers. Setup materials cover Office 365, G Suite, Exchange, OVH, 1&1, Gandi, Outlook, Thunderbird, and Apple Mail. A Microsoft 365 option uses Microsoft APIs to retrieve domains, accounts, and groups and configure connectors. Data is hosted in France on HDS-certified infrastructure, with processing described as GDPR compliant. DLP and DKIM signing require Protect Advanced; DLP also requires Protect Out enabled and in use. Pricing is on request.

SpamHero Business Email Security filters incoming email for a domain in the cloud, then forwards clean messages to the customer’s mail server. Its filters cover spam, viruses, and malware, including Microsoft Office macros. A searchable quarantine lets users inspect and recover messages, and three redundant mail servers in separate data centers can queue mail for up to five days when the customer’s mail server is unavailable. SpamHero documents routing Microsoft 365 mail through its service and connects with Microsoft Entra ID to set up valid email addresses; Google Workspace support is also listed. Mail-server communication uses opportunistic TLS, and the service describes enforcing TLS for senders that support MTA-STS. Its REST API uses HTTP Basic authentication and allows 60 requests per minute per key. Support includes 24/7 chat and first-level phone support weekdays from 6am to 6pm Mountain Time. The free trial lasts 30 days and requires no payment information; there is no free plan. Pricing is per domain, with Lite at $5 a month at the introductory annual-prepayment rate.
