    Privacy-oriented and based in Belgium, which ensures your data isn't being sold to anyone. No ads. Overall better performance on the web client. Free plan already offers a plethora of useful features, although you can get more if you pick one of the (cheap) paid plans.

    You have all the functions you need in workspace, like Gmail. Fully customizable, high security. This product is professional. I use it since 2 year, and I don't want to return to Gmail. Only one point : you need a domain name. But it's more original like a Gmail.com address...
