User Testimonials
	Proton Mail	Virtru
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	Virtru Of all the products out there that integrate with Google, we found Virtru to be the most user-friendly for both our users and the recipients. At the same time, its logging capabilities provide the trail we need for sensitive information. This is one tool for us that has generally been "setup and forget" which helps with the I.T. Dept workload. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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	Virtru Email encryption without installing or exchange keys with the recipient. Email DLP that is easy to configure and maintain. Application Gateway that encrypts email sent directly from SaaS application (ex. Zendesk, SalesForce). Protect attachment with restriction like time, print, and copy. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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.

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	Virtru No answers on this topic
