    Good if you like privacy and not having your data mined for advertizing and AI training.

    Trend Micro
    Trend Micro InterScan Messaging Security is well suited for bigger companies with huge numbers of incoming and outgoing emails. It is really easy to configure, and once setup, there is not much to be done. So this requires minimal administration efforts. However, as the reporting is weak, if this is essential for a company, then it would be better to look into other alternatives.

    Trend Micro
    • Deep Discovery analyzer provides sandboxing and deep threat analyses
    • DLP capabilities are also good. It has a number of pre defined DLP templates
    • Works very well against targeted attacks
    • Lowers impact at the email gateway as it filters away the email in the cloud

    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.

    Trend Micro InterScan Messaging Security is much cheaper than Kasprsky Security for Email Server. Trend Micro InterScan Messaging Security is easier to install and the maintenance effort required is much less than this required by Kasprsky Security for Email Server. However Kasprsky Security for Email Server does have a better GUI and does indeed offer a better protection degree. However, taking into account that both were tested behind a firewall, most of the threats had already been eliminated there...
