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.

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).

Proton had a wider offering of products like vpn and drive. I ended up paying for a yearly subscription, I liked it so much.

  • 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.
