SpamExperts

What SpamExperts does

SpamExperts B.V., operating as N-able SpamExperts, is an Amsterdam-based email security vendor founded in 2005 and acquired by SolarWinds MSP (now N-able) in 2017. The company sells three integrated subscription products — Incoming Filter (inbound spam, phishing, malware, and ransomware blocking), Outgoing Filter (outbound spam prevention and IP-reputation protection), and Email Archiving (encrypted, tamper-proof storage for compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, FRCP, and SOX) — delivered as either a fully managed cloud service or an on-premise deployment. Underlying the products is a proprietary, patented-in-the-Netherlands Intelligent Protection & Filtering Engine that uses self-learning machine learning and continuous algorithm updates, trained on telemetry from over one million active domains and 2.5 million inboxes per day.

The platform targets web hosts, ISPs, telcos, and managed service providers rather than direct enterprise end users, distributed primarily through a tiered channel partner program with qualification thresholds (5,000+ domains or 50,000+ mailboxes) and a separate pay-as-you-go reseller tier. Pricing is quote-based and flexible across domain-, mailbox-, or server-based licensing, with multi-year contracts common at the partner tier and exclusive discounts (e.g., 10% off Private Label, 50% off server reinstals, free archiving storage) for qualified partners. Distribution is reinforced by free integration plugins for the major hosting control panels (cPanel, Plesk, Odin/APS, DirectAdmin, ISPConfig), billing/automation platforms (WHMCS, HostBill, MSPControl), and email collaboration systems (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zimbra, Open-Xchange, SmarterMail), plus an open API for non-standard environments.

The company reports 2,000+ service-provider partners across 90+ countries protecting 2.5 million+ active domains, with VBSpam+ certification as a multiple-year winner, and operates from a Netherlands corporate base with regional office locations spanning the US, Canada, the UK, the Netherlands, Romania, Portugal, Belarus, Singapore, the Philippines, and Australia under the broader N-able umbrella.

Direct peers

• Hornetsecurity: German email security vendor focused heavily on the MSP/hosting channel with 365 Total Protection suite. Directly comparable to SpamExperts in targeting service providers with white-label, multi-tenant email filtering, archiving, and backup.
• Proofpoint: Leading enterprise email security platform offering inbound/outbound filtering, archiving, and threat intelligence. Overlaps with SpamExperts on core filtering/archiving but focuses on large enterprise rather than service-provider channel.
• Mimecast: Cloud-native email security, archiving, and continuity provider with both direct and MSP go-to-market. Closely comparable product set (MIME filtering, archiving, continuity) and similar subscription model.
• Barracuda Networks: Email security, archiving, and backup vendor with strong MSP and service-provider channel programs (Barracuda Partner Program). Directly overlaps SpamExperts' target buyer and core capabilities.
• MailChannels: Outbound email filtering and delivery service purpose-built for web hosting providers (now part of Netcore). Direct comparable to SpamExperts' Outgoing Filter product for service-provider IP reputation protection.

Emerging players

• Vade Secure: AI-driven email security vendor with strong MSP/hosting channel focus (now part of Hornetsecurity). Comparable in product scope (anti-phishing, filtering) and target market overlap with SpamExperts' service-provider segment.
• Abnormal Security: AI-native email security platform focused on BEC, phishing, and account takeover prevention. Emerging threat to SpamExperts with a more enterprise go-to-market but increasingly competitive on detection technology.

Broad incumbents

• Sophos: Broad cybersecurity incumbent with Sophos Email product covering anti-spam, anti-phishing, and DLP. Comparable filtering capability but positioned as one module within a wider endpoint/network security portfolio rather than a specialist.
• Trend Micro: Global cybersecurity incumbent offering email security (Trend Micro Email Security) as part of broader platform. Overlaps with SpamExperts on email filtering but does not specialize in the service-provider channel.
• Cisco (IronPort / Secure Email): Enterprise email security offering via Cisco Secure Email (originally IronPort). Overlaps on filtering/phishing protection but targets large enterprise customers rather than service-provider channel.
