Best forOrganizations on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace that need post-delivery phishing, BEC and account-takeover defense alongside an existing gateway; Lean IT and security teams that want agentic AI to auto-remediate reported threats without adding analyst headcount; Managed service providers needing multi-tenant administration, per-client policies and consolidated reporting from one console; Security teams facing AI-generated phishing, QR-code lures and deepfake impersonation in Microsoft Teams meetings; Buyers who value fast, low-friction deployment with no MX or DNS changesSecurity teams replacing legacy secure email gateways (SEG) with API-based, autonomous detection; Organizations on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace that want deployment with no agents or MX changes; Enterprises needing behavioral detection of BEC, account takeover, credential phishing and GenAI social engineering; Security leaders who want AI to investigate and respond autonomously while showing evidence; Companies that also need identity hardening and governance of internal AI agent/tool use
Not forOrganizations running on-premises or non-Microsoft, non-Google mail platforms; compatibility must be confirmed with the vendor; Teams shopping for a perimeter secure email gateway with MX-level filtering, since Ironscales is designed to sit behind or beside one; Buyers who need published list pricing before shortlisting, as all plans are quote-basedVery small businesses looking for a low-cost, self-serve email filter with published list pricing; Teams without security operations capacity to configure and tune enterprise security controls; Buyers who require public per-seat pricing and self-service signup before a sales process; Organizations that need an SMB-grade spam filter rather than behavioral threat detection
