Senior Network Security Engineer at Vibs
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.

Offers clear vision on the clear side of what is being blocked and easy to use but a bit old-fashioned GUI
I would rate my experience with the initial setup a four out of ten when one is difficult, and ten is easy. It's difficult initially since it's an on-premise solution. So it's a bit difficult. So the initial assessment took a few days, and then the deployment was a couple of days. It is on-prem. That is also one of the improvements you need to make on the cloud. Most of the people like things to be on the cloud. You don't have the burden of setting up things on-premise.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am happy with the stability."
"The most valuable feature is the advanced threat protection."
"The encryption features are most valuable to us."
"The scanners with FortiMail are valuable."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to setup rules and destinations. It also helps to monitor suspicious items."
"We chose this solution because of the spam and virus scanners."
"The implementation was very professional. There are a lot of features I can get through Fortinet and FortiMail, such as security. FortiGuard is the most reliable and professional mitigation center to handle incidents and risk that I have to face."
"Content disarming and analysis are essential features in our email security setup"
"The product's most valuable features are spam protection and artificial intelligence."
"I like that it doesn't hold emails for any reason; it sends out notifications to the user as well as administrators. So we have a clear vision on the clear side of what is being blocked and in time as well."
 

Cons

"When it comes to security, this solution is not as efficient as other products."
"I can't see the feedback to the FortiMail gateway."
"Fortimail Cloud should include more advanced AI features that can analyze every traffic type."
"There are no specific new features I would suggest at this moment."
"This solution is slow and it should be made faster."
"They could look at strengthening anti-spam with the newly observed domains."
"The URL filtering and handling should be enhanced because it doesn't support all languages. I believe that this would be easy to enhance in the future."
"Email sorting is missing from this solution."
"There is room for improvement in GUI because it is a bit old-fashioned."
"The technical support services and stability need improvement as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we're talking about pricing, other products have about the same price. That is normal."
"A license for our company using FortiMail and FortiCare (filtering and support) was $4000."
"The licensing is for three years. In the beginning, we did not pay monthly, it was paid once for three years."
"The price of this solution could be more competitive."
"It's on a subscribed basis."
"It should cost around $60,000. We bought it as a bundle, so everything comes together in the license. That is standard."
"The product's price is reasonable."
"I see how manageable and flexible the licenses are."
"It is a cost-effective product."
"The pricing is in the middle. Compared to other products, it should be five out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
