 Ever since Webroot decided to exit the email security market some months back, there has been somewhat of a scramble by ex Webroot partners and to an extent competitor vendors to marry up on new, successful and hopefully long-lasting partnerships.
At Maildistiller, knowing how difficult the situation is, we’ve tried to be as accommodating as possible and make things really easy for any partners making the move. By devoting a dedicated migration team to make the transition super smooth and relatively effortless, we have become the preferred migration choice by over 7000 users to date, with 1000s more in the migration pipeline. |

 Cloud email security vendor Maildistiller are disrupting the ‘sameness’ of the market and forcing other vendors to play catch-up, with their introduction of the very first utility billing model to hit the channel.
Utility billing - the ability for partners to simply pay for what they actually use on a per monthly basis, is one of the greatest benefits that cloud computing promised. However, to date, Maildistiller are the first and only email security vendor to actually bring this option to market for their partners. |
