Pros from Real Users Pros All tools in one place — Mail, Drive, VPN, Calendar — make work simple and efficient. Seamless sync across devices keeps everything smooth and effortless, with flexible plans for any need. Trustworthy service from Switzerland. So its Europe. proton meets all legal requirements, so it is perfect for business. Availability is very good. I like the fact that it was constructed around account safety and it has a fresh interface. It has a lot of features and it is quite affordable for regular users. - Easy to use, - Open source, - Possible to use with a custom domain (requires a premium subscription), - Privacy orientated (something truly rare these days!) The web client is great for all my needs, and ProtonMail is a privacy-respecting e-mail provider, based on Switzerland. The # draw is that this is a secure, privacy-focused email alternative. It also has a very sleek interface. Can encrypt if you want, or not. All settings are available and it is easy to set up everything. Have a free version that I am currently using and it is not restricted in any way. Allows for two-factor authorization. ProtonMail offers encrypted emails, so it's a good option for those looking for a more private, secure email service compared to the bigger ones out there like Gmail and Outlook. It's got fairly priced options, and the free version isn't too bad either. I love that my emails are end to end encrypted. I found out that Gmail reads my emails and I quickly signed up for the free version. Open source Easy to use Good security and privacy Multi level security and encryption Free tier Mobile version alongside web version		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros With Spike, conventional email is transformed into a chat-like conversational style. Users accustomed to messaging applications will find this method easier to use and more natural when it comes to email conversation. Spike provides us with an environment that facilitates interaction with third parties in different ways, whether by calls, messaging, e-mail, etc. Its platform is intuitive and straightforward; it is pretty easy to understand how it works and to take advantage of its many communicative and collaborative benefits for the benefit of work teams. Spike is an interesting email client which transform your old boring email window to interesting communication interface. It offer amazing collaborative capability which make it it perfect candidate of client with exceptionally useful extra feature contributing to higher conversion. #1- Spike is also supported on mobile platforms. #2- Inbound and outbound emails converted into easy chat interface. #3- Task tracking and organizing are very convenient. #4- Team collaboration is great with its realtime chat. New way to start chatting without sharing your mobile number, so it helps if you have privacy concerns. It has all of the feature that typical email apps have. Also integrated with voice and video calling. Cons Although Spike offers a mobile app for access while on the move, some users have noted that it occasionally has less functionality than the web version. It is multiplatform, but its application for mobile devices is not as optimal as the computer one; some functions cannot be used. Spike offers many add-on features with no extra cost involved. It's a great tool for email with collaboration. No Cons. #1- We had an overall positive experience with Spike. Till now I didn't faced any serious problems with this tool.
