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.

The analytics were the most valuable part, although they returned a lot of false positives
It was not particularly user friendly in setting up the emails, managing the lists, or publishing reports. It also sent out a couple of emails between November and December twice. I don't know how you'd deal with the false positives thing, but certainly sending out emails more than once should be fixable, and a really good team of UI guys could probably make some headway with the difficulty in actually publishing reports and the like.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scanners with FortiMail are valuable."
"Fortinet and other software ensure that my company's email remains safe, helping to avoid access issues at some cost in production."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to setup rules and destinations. It also helps to monitor suspicious items."
"This solution is stable; this is a cloud-based solution with a data center, so if site one goes down then site two will continue, and it is always available."
"We chose this solution because of the spam and virus scanners."
"From my experience, this tool is able to protect the network."
"Cost-wise, it's a bit expensive, but it's totally worth it."
"It has the best feature for processed mail analysis."
"It enables the quick creation of email templates, and also tracks valuable metrics."
"The analytics were the most valuable part, although they returned a lot of false positives from the remote configurations of email servers we hit."
 

Cons

"The downside of this solution is that it is difficult to implement policies on FortiMail."
"The product could be improved by extending reporting tools and adding options for notification."
"Fortimail Cloud should include more advanced AI features that can analyze every traffic type."
"I would like to see more advanced sandbox features, where you can actually download to a machine where you can test."
"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."
"When it comes to security, this solution is not as efficient as other products."
"It is slightly difficult to configure FortiMail in the cloud with Exchange on-premise, especially the quarantine mailbox access for end-users."
"Fortinet FortiMail Cloud doesn't have AI features, making it an outdated tool for me."
"It was not particularly user friendly in setting up the emails, managing the lists, or publishing reports."
"The drag and drop templates are great, but sometimes they cause HTML errors that require diagnosing the problem within individual lines of code."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It should cost around $60,000. We bought it as a bundle, so everything comes together in the license. That is standard."
"You only have to purchase one license for multiple participants."
"I see how manageable and flexible the licenses are."
"A license for our company using FortiMail and FortiCare (filtering and support) was $4000."
"The price of this solution could be more competitive."
"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 pricing depends on various factors, including the type of licenses and subscriptions you have procured"
