GFI MailEssentials vs. SpamHero

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.

• Filters email
• email audit
• Standard filtering and custom rules
• Low price point

• Some emails still get through
• Strong filtering options delay delivery
• Email limit is high, but it’s easy to worry about going over

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.

• Saves time
• Prevents scams
• Reduces email clutter
