Featured Reviews

Abhimanyu Das - PeerSpot reviewer

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.

Cons

"The Ui isn't that intuitive."
"I don't know if it is possible, but I would like to see Artificial Intelligence and machine learning introduced."
"The logging information is sometimes not clear or easy to understand."
"I think they need to look into it and improve their signatures. This will help with blocking incoming spam emails."
"The product should work on licensing and provide more detail once the license is selected for the customer."
"The statistics and BI in general could be improved."
"Online support sometimes takes up to a week to get back to you."
"An additional feature that could be added is a pop-up screen notifying you that an email has been blocked, without having to double click on it to take you there it could provide you with a summary explaining why it was on hold or why was it spam when you hover over it with your cursor."
"The solution does not always effectively identify zero day spam and phishing, but once reported the correction occurs very quickly."
"Its pricing could be affordable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fortinet FortiMail is inexpensive."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"In terms of licensing, we are using a virtual machine license for the single virtual server which it runs on. Doing it this way enables us to cut costs by only licensing FortiMail for our exact use case. If you need to expand in future, you can later buy extra licenses per virtual machine."
"The licensing model for this solution is better because it is based on the box and not the number of users."
"FortiMail has extra charges for installation, configuration, and project management."
"The product's licensing part depends on the number of mailboxes and the hard disk needed by customers. The cost of the license depends on the number of mailboxes and the number of emails."
"The solution is reasonably priced compared to one of its competitors."
"Email Security Gateway's pricing is good."
