User Testimonials
	Proton Mail	TotalAV
Likelihood to Recommend	Proton Good if you like privacy and not having your data mined for advertizing and AI training. George Freeman Professor Emeritus Read full review	Protected.net (dba TotalAV) TotalAV is well suited for: - Malware detection. - Hard drive optimization. - Ad blocking. Incentivized Paul Bies President Read full review
Pros	Proton Secure encrypted email hosting Connection with Outlook works well Works well on all platforms: web, Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS Low monthly cost for email plus all the associated apps George Freeman Professor Emeritus Read full review	Protected.net (dba TotalAV) Malware protection. Junk Cleaner. Duplicate File Finder. Browser Cleaner. Incentivized Paul Bies President Read full review
Cons	Proton Exporting email (which I like to do for archiving) is awkward and slow. Proton Mail Bridge (which allows access from other email readers like Outlook) sometimes has synchronization issues. Lately these just resolve themselves. George Freeman Professor Emeritus Read full review	Protected.net (dba TotalAV) It would be great if the reporting was more intuitive. More help tutorials would help me understand operations. Incentivized Paul Bies President Read full review
Usability	Proton Mostly intuitive and easy to use. A bit harder if you stick with two passwords (one for the account and one for the encryption). George Freeman Professor Emeritus Read full review	Protected.net (dba TotalAV) No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Proton Proton had a wider offering of products like vpn and drive. I ended up paying for a yearly subscription, I liked it so much. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Protected.net (dba TotalAV) Sophos wasn't as user-friendly and TotalAV was more cost-effective for the team. Incentivized Paul Bies President Read full review
Return on Investment	Proton Easy to link with my business domain and email. George Freeman Professor Emeritus Read full review	Protected.net (dba TotalAV) One positive impact is the improved speed of the computers as there's more space on each one. Peace of mind is another big return as we don't need to worry about our files - or our clients. Incentivized Paul Bies President Read full review
