I found it to be very ineffective especially with image spam and also to
cause a lot of false positives.

I don't want to pay a sysadmin a train a spam filter. I want an antispam
solution, that is good out-of-the-box and is trained by someone else
(e.g. honeypots of the vendor). We are managing about 40.000 email
addresses and currently > 1.000.000 messages daily (whereas >93% is
spam). Thats nothing, that can be trained manually any more.
