Why Spambrella?
Choosing email security involves more than comparing threat detection features. You also need to consider who will help you deploy the service, support your team and manage licensing as your business grows.
Spambrella is a Global Proofpoint distributor that combines Proofpoint-powered protection with its own onboarding, support and additional tools. The main difference is the service experience around the underlying security technology. Spambrella includes hands-on onboarding, global support coverage and bundled email security.
No technical distributor globally, has more partners and customers in more countries than Spambrella.
Understanding the relationship
Spambrella and Proofpoint are closely connected, but the product and package you choose still matter. Spambrella’s email security services are backed by Proofpoint technology and infrastructure, with packages designed for different business needs and budgets.
“Direct Proofpoint” also needs clarification. Proofpoint’s published channel information states that Proofpoint Essentials is sold exclusively through distribution partners. If you are comparing Spambrella with another Essentials supplier, you are primarily comparing providers, packages and service arrangements. A comparison with a Proofpoint enterprise solution requires a separate assessment of the specific products and features.
Hands-on onboarding and account guidance
For a busy IT team (MSP), the value of email security depends partly on how confidently it can deploy and manage the service.
Spambrella’s published Essentials transfer process includes an account review, configuration of service package templates, administrator training and scheduled quarterly reviews. This provides a practical route for teams that want guidance alongside their licences.
When comparing proposals, ask what onboarding includes, who handles configuration and what support remains available after deployment. What tools are actually used by MSPs and end-users, and what tools some providers may provide that just create heavier workload for little return.
Flexible licensing options
Spambrella offers annual, multiyear and monthly metered billing arrangements. Its licensing information also states that MSP customers are not subject to customer user minimums. These options can be useful when supporting smaller organisations or customers whose user counts change regularly.
The right comparison is the total cost of the required package, including support, additional services and contract commitments. Pricing should be assessed against a current quotation for your needs.
Additional tools for MSPs and administrators
Spambrella adds tools around the Proofpoint Essentials service, including its Microsoft 365 Outlook add-in, ConnectWise integration, onboarding tools and Google Workspace synchronisation (the only Proofpoint Essentials distributor to have a GW sync).
Spambrella also offers white-label options, including branded portals and notifications, for service providers that want to deliver security under their own brand.
Security and training in one offering
Spambrella offers packages covering email security, continuity and archiving, with features depending on the selected service. It also offers Proofpoint Essentials Security Awareness Training as a standalone purchase or bundled with email security.
This gives businesses an opportunity to discuss technical protection and employee awareness with the same provider.
Which option suits your business?
Spambrella is worth considering if you want Proofpoint-powered email security with onboarding guidance, local support, flexible licensing or MSP tools.
The best choice depends on the exact support service you need and the service you expect. Compare the proposed support responsibilities and contract terms together.
