Considered Both Products
Forcepoint Email Security
Chose Forcepoint Email Security
While the Cisco Email was a close second, the customization of the Forcepoint Email Security policies and reports is what won us over.
Chose Forcepoint Email Security
Since Forcepoint is used widely in our organization, the integration between DLP web and Mail is amazing, and I didn’t find a good reason to split services between vendors if I have all the package in one place
Proton Mail
Chose Proton Mail
Proton had a wider offering of products like vpn and drive. I ended up paying for a yearly subscription, I liked it so much.

Mostly intuitive and easy to use. A bit harder if you stick with two passwords (one for the account and one for the encryption).

The support could be better, but the good thing is rarely having to call them.
