It is also highly reliable. I don't lose any of the messages or emails. If there is an issue where the email sent operation failed, Amazon as a platform ensures that the send operation is retried, and the email reaches its destination. This way, it is highly reliable."
"Amazon SES is very easy to configure."
"The most valuable thing is that emails sent through SES have a delivery rate of greater than ninety percent."
"Amazon SES can handle a high volume of emails, making it suitable for organizations with large email lists or that need to send a large number of emails on a regular basis."
"The best feature is that Amazon SES provides verified email messages."
"We use the tool for transactional emails and marketing."
"There is no need for me to set up security."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are filtering and sandboxing."
"The implementation was very professional. There are a lot of features I can get through Fortinet and FortiMail, such as security. FortiGuard is the most reliable and professional mitigation center to handle incidents and risk that I have to face."
"The scanners with FortiMail are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to check to see if the email is real."
"The most valuable features are the low price and its ability to integrate with other Fortinet products."
"It has the best feature for processed mail analysis."
"The most valuable feature is the advanced threat protection."
"The deployment is simple."
"There is room for improvement in the support. It's just that customer support, though good, takes time to resolve issues."
"The product should improve technical support."
"It would be ideal to have detailed data and reporting on email opens, clicks, bounces, and other metrics, as well as integration with other business intelligence tools."
"Email service is definitely a requirement from an enterprise standpoint. Many organizations have their own on-premise email services, which take a lot of memory, backup, and other resources. If we can have a completely managed backup solution where we have a tiered backup or a tiered archival to be able to retrieve emails, it would be great. I would like to be able to retrieve emails in real-time (hot retrieval), over the 90-days period (warm retrieval), and over the one-year period (cold retrieval). It would be useful to have tiered backup and retrieval. It would help us in managing emails better and have a better backup solution. So, backup is something that we require."
"When we first set up an email on Amazon SES, they had to verify it, which was not fast enough."
"The only issue is the price, which is far too expensive."
"There is room for improvement in the scalability."
"I would like to see detailed reports on email success and failure rates."
"Networking should be simplified."
"This ease of use and user-friendliness is something we believe could be improved in FortiMail."
"The dashboard could use improvement."
"Email sorting is missing from this solution."
"The setup of the rules can be improved. I think it should be simplified and would be the best improvement in the system."
"I've not been able to use more than two domains in the back end. I like to view logs for the different domains. If I add any other domain I'm not able to get a proper cPanel for that domain. I am talking about the login factors. I'm not able to see logs for different domains in a different Window. Basically, it's an issue in the login process."
"I would like to see more advanced sandbox features, where you can actually download to a machine where you can test."
"The downside of this solution is that it is difficult to implement policies on FortiMail."
