Comparison of Secure Email Gateway features of Proofpoint Essentials for Small Business and Symantec Email Security.cloud
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.

I gave it 9 of 10 points only because of the price, you can find find more cheap solutions on the market.

Barracuda's ESS is the premier product, it boasts outbound email encryption as an included service as well as all of the security features of Symantec Email Security.cloud. Sophos is on the same level as SES.c but is not quite as feature rich.
