I used them for work and had pretty good luck with them with one glaring exception.
Their handling of spam false positives is easy with users able to release the messages on their own, and plenty of whitelisting rules to allow mail through. When it comes to messages flagged as a virus there is no white listing allowed and releasing a mail takes a signed release form and time. This would be fine except they started using their antivirus engine to stop phishing mails. We had a few customer threads falsely flagged as phishing "viruses". Additionally emails to postmaster and abuse apply the anti-virus rules, making notifications of phishing attempts difficult to deal with.
