I need some generic pricing for spam filtering solutions. Assuming an on-premises exchange server.
I used to use Postini at $1/user/month, but they are long gone.
What other solutions do you all know about and at what price point?
I use Barracuda Email Security Service.
I don't have the exact pricing at the moment but it was like $1.2-$1.5 per user. If you do the three years you get roughly a 15% discount. I added the ATP on top so all attachments are pre-scanned.
The only issue is, I believe they have a 50 user minimum. I do like that they include encrypted email in the pricing.
Edit: - Encrypted email works like Zix mail.
That price seems impossible if it includes Zix. The last time I priced Zix it was $4/u/m just for Zix and nothing else - of course, bundles can do anything they want.
It works like Zix. Barracuda stores the email and then sends out email to recipient who creates an account on barracuda to read the email. That was all I meant.
It won't have many of the features but for basic encrypted email, it has worked perfectly for us.

Retail or reseller pricing?
-
We use Greenview Data.
https://www.greenviewdata.com/spamstopshere-antispam/pricing-features.html30 users would put you in the $1.20/u/m tier. End User pricing.
Resellers get discounts.
Green View Data was recently purchased by ZIX. We have not noticed any change in service since ZIX acquired them.
We like them very much.

Site currently has ~30 users
So the 50 user minimum is out.
Did some research. Barracuda ESS (email security service) allows 30 user count (unlimited Aliases). Service + ATP is roughly $1.4 a user with 3 year service.

Not a good idea if the website does not even work.

I'm definitely out of my wheelhouse, but we've used this and loved it: https://www.spamhero.com/
Now we use Google Apps

I would prefer them on O365 or G-Suite instead of on-premises. But sometimes you work with what you have to work with.

We have been using SpamTitan and their hosted appliance for several years with our on-prem Exchange. Pricing is $1/u/month. Been happy with it.
-
We have been using MS Exchange Online Protection for the last 8 years. It's been working good with our on-premise Exchange server.
Price we pay is 18.99$ per user per year. We are almost at 50 users. -
@JaredBusch Huh.... Haven't seen that before. What browser are you using?

@JaredBusch I've also used spamhero.com as already mentioned above for basic SPAM filtering and would recommend the service to any SMB. The Interface and learning curve to setup is very low. They start at $5/mon for unlimited SPAM filtering.

If the $5 plan is unlimited, what causes the price to go up?

Looks like it's based mostly on message volume, not the number of users.

LOL, that's pretty limited
Not a bad price, but "unlimited", it is not. -

Not completely, but pretty heavily. That's useful for people who have a bazillion variations of names for just a few people so that the other huge limits aren't a big deal. But I know of no person and certainly no business like this. And it's all those variations... within a single domain, a limit of 1. That's huge. I don't have a single customer with just a single domain these days. Tiny businesses like that must exist somewhere, but it's very uncommon. I know you (Dash) have more than one for your medical practice. I think NTG has somewhere around forty. Nearly every business has at least a couple.

sure - we do, but in reality - we could ditch the old one, we never use it for email.

@scottalanmiller They allow "aliases", which can be different domains. As long as they go to the same mail server they do not count as additional accounts. Not sure if this is good for the scenario you were describing or not. For web resellers using a control panel like cpanel, you could put all of your customers from a single cpanel server on one account at spamhero with one domain and hundreds of aliases!
