Owner/Founder at a tech services company
It enables me to create and manage an auto-responder series along with list growth management tools.
The goal is to continue to engage with my list. Keeping in touch with new and potential customers helps stay "on top of mind" when needing services.  Just like the name states, it has allowed me to stay in "constant contact" with my subscribers. The most valuable features are creating and…

Provides solid functionality and allows room for enhancing content management and support services
They can improve their CDR content profile and some anti-spam features. They don't have any direct script to run to add personalization, and we have to do it manually one by one. There are many tasks which we have to complete individually. We can't import files into the Fortinet FortiMail Cloud sensors. That's a drawback, as they need to provide a feature to import files. We can make the format, but we cannot import the file into Fortinet FortiMail Cloud. Additionally, in Fortinet FortiMail Cloud, not in FortiSandbox, they need to improve the block and allow list functionality to block URLs and allow specific types of URLs or regex.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Email marketing is the most valuable aspect."
"Every email I send, gets people to click on something or contact me, and it works."
"The fact that we have been a customer for so long indicates how vital this solution is for our organisation."
"The ability to email clients using templates setup in the system."
"It is fun to design your newsletter based on the content you would like to deliver."
"Customer Service: Outstanding, with email, chat and call capabilities even on weekends."
"Customer Service: Very good but I would have liked to have 24 hours accessibility."
"Every time that we send one out, we will get some kind of response."
"With Office 365, I would recommend using this solution as there would be no problem and everything will be taken care of."
"The most valuable feature is the advanced threat protection."
"The antivirus profile, which has a sandbox on the cloud and on-prem, can help us deeply analyze the attachment for any virus attached."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to setup rules and destinations. It also helps to monitor suspicious items."
"It has the best feature for processed mail analysis."
"It is a good solution and a good choice."
"Fortinet FortiMail Cloud has had a positive effect on our organization since we can classify each email coming to our organization."
"Overall, I recommend this solution to other people."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, you will be typing in a text box and hit the backspace, but the website will think you meant to go back a page. Basically, you end up losing work when this happens and it is hard to predict."
"When I started using Constant Contact creating email was very flaky, in terms of crashes and usability (perhaps compared to Weebly etc.). It has improved, however, still needs improvement and email creation still seems clunky and limited compared to other online solutions or website building tools."
"There are certain hiccups in the program that can be improved to make it more user friendly."
"Could use better search and certain editing traits."
"All Constant Contact wants to do is keep you on a monthly subscription, so if you only want to send out emails on a quarterly basis you must either pay every month you do not use the product, or you must cancel your subscription and then re-open an account every quarter."
"Its GUI needs improvement."
"The setup of the rules can be improved. I think it should be simplified and would be the best improvement in the system."
"It is slightly difficult to configure FortiMail in the cloud with Exchange on-premise, especially the quarantine mailbox access for end-users."
"The improvement in Fortinet FortiMail Cloud can be made regarding the classification process itself because it has some false positives."
"Fortinet FortiMail Cloud doesn't have AI features, making it an outdated tool for me."
"The product could be improved by extending reporting tools and adding options for notification."
"The price is relatively expensive."
"Fortimail Cloud should include more advanced AI features that can analyze every traffic type."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is fair, and you end up making enough in sales to pay for it."
"The licensing is for three years. In the beginning, we did not pay monthly, it was paid once for three years."
"The product's price is reasonable."
"When we're talking about pricing, other products have about the same price. That is normal."
"I rate the price of Fortinet FortiMail Cloud a five on a one to ten scale, where one is the low price, and ten is the high price. It is an averagely priced product."
"It should cost around $60,000. We bought it as a bundle, so everything comes together in the license. That is standard."
"A license for our company using FortiMail and FortiCare (filtering and support) was $4000."
"I see how manageable and flexible the licenses are."
"You only have to purchase one license for multiple participants."
