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.

A stable and scalable solution to deal with spam and phishing emails
It is difficult for me to talk about areas that require improvement in the solution since I am quite new to the product, but I know that Vade provides an MSP solution. Vade Cloud Email Security doesn't provide sandboxing functionality. The lack of sandboxing functionality cannot be considered a weakness since there are other solutions to deal with faster when it comes to sandboxing. Overall it is a good solution with which we work in our company, so I don't see any clear weaknesses in the solution. It can take a long time for customers to study and operate straight away in a sandbox environment. The solution is okay if it makes the job faster for its users. I don't see ISO 27001 in Vade Cloud Email Security. While functioning on the solution, sometimes a customer needs to have a conformity level of SOC 1 or SOC 2 or some other conformity level. I did not see the aforementioned conformity levels added to Vade Cloud Email Security. Concerning a bank, data can be confidential, and when a bank needs to exchange or transfer such data, it has to be specific to a certain level of conformity, which I did not see in the tool.
