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

"If there is a problem somewhere Fortinet can act on it immediately. That is very important."
"The antivirus profile, which has a sandbox on the cloud and on-prem, can help us deeply analyze the attachment for any virus attached."
"It is a good solution and a good choice."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to check to see if the email is real."
"This solution is easy to install."
"The quarantine feature of FortiMail is the most valuable, as it quarantines emails based on my policies."
"Fortinet and other software ensure that my company's email remains safe, helping to avoid access issues at some cost in production."
"The scanners with FortiMail are valuable."
"It's a very easy product to set up."
"Mailgun is cheap, secure, fast, and simple."
"I haven't been required to pay yet because they give me 10k free emails per month, so for medium emails, it's the best choice."
 

Cons

"Email sorting is missing from this solution."
"The downside of this solution is that it is difficult to implement policies on FortiMail."
"The setup of the rules can be improved. I think it should be simplified and would be the best improvement in the system."
"This ease of use and user-friendliness is something we believe could be improved in FortiMail."
"In endpoint security, they are not at the latest quadrant. That is why a customer with existing endpoint security solutions like Trend Micro might prefer a main security solution from that vendor."
"Fortinet policies add an extra load to the endpoint."
"The improvement in Fortinet FortiMail Cloud can be made regarding the classification process itself because it has some false positives."
"The tool's UI can be simple since it's cluttered now and you can't understand where you are going. It's not obvious to find out the menus or things that you are looking to find."
"Mailgun doesn't have this."
"Preview of email as sent - currently, the preview is an image."
"The solution needs better templating and email validation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I see how manageable and flexible the licenses are."
"It's on a subscribed basis."
"A license for our company using FortiMail and FortiCare (filtering and support) was $4000."
"It should cost around $60,000. We bought it as a bundle, so everything comes together in the license. That is standard."
"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."
"The product's price is reasonable."
"The price of this solution could be more competitive."
"We pay $80 a month to use the solution."
