User Testimonials
	Proton Mail	WatchGuard XCS (Discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	Proton I was looking for an email provider that will not sell my data and is very privacy-centric. Proton meets that need! Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	WatchGuard Technologies I like it because it tends to block out some of the things that shouldn't get in our inboxes, but they somehow end up in our mailboxes sometimes, not a big deal. The main thing that needs to be blocked out is any phishing and it keeps those emails out! Incentivized Leticia Waller Quality Manager Read full review
Pros	Proton No answers on this topic	WatchGuard Technologies Very Secure! Easy to use and set up. Great to keep things safe for employees and employer. Incentivized Leticia Waller Quality Manager Read full review
Cons	Proton No answers on this topic	WatchGuard Technologies I would like to see why the multi WAN doesn't work at times! Can be a little slow. Some things are blocked for no reason. Incentivized Leticia Waller Quality Manager Read full review
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 Anonymous Read full review	WatchGuard Technologies I suggest WatchGuard because they offer so much. They offer the way to keep email and websites blocked that don't belong and they also help us connect to the server whenever we remote in from work. Everything is done with so much ease and there is not any hassle. Incentivized Leticia Waller Quality Manager Read full review
Return on Investment	Proton No answers on this topic	WatchGuard Technologies It helps our computers be safe. Less worrying about IT fixing bugs on computers. Their beliefs are inline with ours. Incentivized Leticia Waller Quality Manager Read full review
