Featured Reviews

Abhimanyu Das - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Cybersecurity Engineer at Kyndryl
Targeted email filtering has reduced spam and phishing and now saves significant investigation time
The best features of Fortinet FortiMail include its techniques and tactics, which are highly effective compared to other solutions such as Microsoft 365. Although Fortinet FortiMail may not be as advanced in some aspects, it is well recognized for its strong performance in handling spam and phishing. It performs thorough mail scanning and also offers a sandboxing feature that enhances protection. Fortinet FortiMail has had a positive impact on my organization by significantly reducing unwanted email activities such as spam and phishing. It provides accurate detection and generates results that often exceed what can be achieved through manual analysis. Since deploying Fortinet FortiMail, I have observed a reduction in investigation time by at least 20 to 30 percent.

Helps us reduce phishing email attacks and has a user-friendly dashboard
It is the best product. It helps reduce spam and phishing attacks. It has user-friendly Real-Time Phishing Mitigation features for environmental protection. It primarily focuses on verifying security features like SPS (Sender Policy Framework) and Smart DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail). The DLP feature ensures that only emails meeting the required security standards pass through the secure gateway. The configuration and management of the policies and settings are easy to navigate. I rate it an eight out of ten.

"The solution is user-friendly to a degree but the dashboard needs improvement."
"Maybe FortiMail's integration could be better."
"Fortinet FortiMail's pricing could be improved."
"The support could be faster because we've been receiving complaints from customers, they say that when they raise a ticket, it doesn't take 24 hours to respond, sometimes the support responds after three days. This is a lot of time."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"FortiMail has extra charges for installation, configuration, and project management."
"My company has a three-year license for Fortinet FortiMail, including the support, but I'm not so sure of how much the solution costs because I'm not part of the procurement team. What's more important to me is the functionality and stability of Fortinet FortiMail. In terms of Fortinet FortiMail licensing, the cost is calculated based on company requirements. For example, it's based on the features you need for your environment, on capacity, how many CPUs you have, etc."
"It is a fairly priced product, considering what it does. The product offers good value for the money users spend on it."
"The pricing is good."
"Fortinet FortiMail is inexpensive."
"The tool is very expensive."
"Fortinet FortiMail is a little bit expensive."
"In the future I would like it if there's a possibility to lower the price of the bandwidth and UTM. It is quite expensive."
"Email Security Gateway's pricing is good."
