MX Layer
Its modules predominantly function via the cloud, rendering it exceptionally convenient for users. Its design based on the cloud liberates us from the burden of upkeeping the infrastructure.

Proofpoint
I would definitely recommend it for fast and easy deployment with no need of constant managing solution. It is a solid solution that will do all what you need for the email security. Especially when you have a small IT team or even do not have enough experienced specialists to handle email security questions - Proofpoint is what I would recommend to use. I gave it 9 of 10 points only because of the price, you can find find more cheap solutions on the market.
