"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable feature is its performance."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the tool's ability to prevent phishing attacks."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The biggest implementation my team has done for Fortinet FortiMail was for more than five thousand people, and the most valuable feature was its anti-spam feature."

"There's room for improvement regarding the time frame for retrieving emails."

"The sandboxing features are not well done in Fortinet FortiMail, making it an area of improvement."
"Sometimes, the tool flags legitimate incoming traffic as spam."
"The security products stop their operations once the subscription period expires. It is a wrong policy. If I trust a product, it has to continue working even after expiry. It should have a grace period of 30, 40, or 60 days. We can extend the subscription during those days. In some places, subscription extensions can take up to six weeks. During the renewal process, the support offered by the company is very poor. It also reduces security. We pay for the expired period but do not get protection during those times. The user of Fortinet FortiMail should have a feature to see spam names."
"Maybe FortiMail's integration could be better."
"The web console management interface could be improved."
"The solution is not easy to set up. However, we have employees that have the knowledge that can do the difficult implementation. It would be better if the process was easier."

"The reporting aspect of the solution needs improvement."

"Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox."
"I would like to see this solution become more flexible."
"The solution must provide features to scan QR codes for threats."
