Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration
Pros
- Enterprise-grade detection reachable by an SMB through the partner channel
- One tool across email and collaboration apps (Teams, Slack, file-sharing), not just the inbox
- API deployment is quick and doesn't touch your MX records
Cons
- Quote and partner-led pricing, with no public per-seat number and no true self-serve
- The buying and support experience depends on the reseller you go through
- Broader than a pure payroll-diversion tool, more than you need if the inbox email is your only worry
IRONSCALES
Pros
- The most straightforwardly SMB-priced dedicated option, per-seat tiers starting under $4
- Account-takeover coverage catches BEC sent from a genuinely compromised (not just spoofed) mailbox
- MSP program makes it easy to adopt if you outsource IT
Cons
- No per-seat pricing on IRONSCALES' own site, the figures come from third-party listings
- No free tier, just a trial, unlike Sublime's free 100 mailboxes
- Account-takeover, Teams protection, and awareness training are gated to the top tier
