Yes. Panda Email Protection is compatible with Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), Google Workspace, on-premise Exchange Server, and any other SMTP-based mail platform. Deployment involves updating your MX records to route inbound mail through Panda's filtering infrastructure before it is delivered to your mail server. The process typically takes less than an hour and does not require changes to how users access their email.

Microsoft 365 includes basic spam filtering in most plans, and Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is available as a premium add-on. Panda Email Protection provides an additional, independent filtering layer with its own threat intelligence and sandbox analysis. Running a dedicated third-party gateway in front of Microsoft 365 reduces reliance on a single vendor's detection capability, catches threats that Microsoft's filters miss, and provides separate administrative controls and reporting that your security team manages independently.

Messages flagged as spam or quarantined are held in a managed quarantine area accessible to administrators. Users can also receive periodic quarantine digest reports that allow them to release legitimate messages that were incorrectly filtered. Administrators can configure custom allowlists and blocklists to tune filtering behavior for specific senders, domains, or content patterns, reducing false positives over time.

Panda Email Protection is licensed per mailbox on an annual subscription. The license count should match the number of protected email addresses in your organization. Shared mailboxes and distribution lists that receive external mail should also be counted. Contact a Firewalls.com specialist for exact mailbox count guidance and volume pricing for larger deployments.

Email archiving and email continuity (delivering mail during a mail server outage) may be available as optional add-ons depending on the specific license tier purchased. Contact a Firewalls.com specialist to confirm which features are included in the license tier you are evaluating and whether add-ons for archiving or continuity are available for your organization's requirements.
