Pros
"The most valuable feature is the advanced threat protection.""The encryption features are most valuable to us.""The most valuable features are email ATB and Malware Analysis.""FortiMail Cloud is very fast.""If there is a problem somewhere Fortinet can act on it immediately. That is very important.""The product's initial setup is straightforward and simple, making it an easy-to-use tool.""I am impressed with the tool's ability to setup rules and destinations. It also helps to monitor suspicious items.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to check to see if the email is real."

"We haven't had a client, who uses their protection, have an email security breach. That is the best thing about what they do. We don't have to think too much. Their product just works and keeps bad emails away.""The most valuable feature is the hardware-assisted platform module.""The Perception Point Incident Response team acts as an extension of our SOC team. This is very important for us. This is a benefit provided for their main product of scanning our emails. If Perception Point can give me IR, this is really good versus other products that do not provide this kind of service. Perception Point's service is great. They are very professional. That reduces the time that my internal SOC has to deal with my internal IT person. They just send an email to the IR team at Perception Point, who continues the investigation and blocks any emails, if necessary. This is very good because it can reduce a lot of time and effort from my team. It is like an extension of my SOC, but external.""The most valuable feature I have found is the speed of scanning emails.""I see from time to time that Perception Point is being proactive. They approach us, and say, "Can you check this, and this?" So, it does seem that they are an extension of my incident response.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The most valuable feature of Perception Point Advanced Email Security is the filtering and securing of emails.""What's really good about this platform is that you have full visibility, it has a very nice and very friendly UI, it's quick, and there's no latency in the scanning."

Cons
"The setup of the rules can be improved. I think it should be simplified and would be the best improvement in the system.""Fortinet FortiMail Cloud doesn't have AI features, making it an outdated tool for me.""Networking should be simplified.""It is slightly difficult to configure FortiMail in the cloud with Exchange on-premise, especially the quarantine mailbox access for end-users.""The downside of this solution is that it is difficult to implement policies on FortiMail.""This solution is slow and it should be made faster.""The tool's UI can be simple since it's cluttered now and you can't understand where you are going. It's not obvious to find out the menus or things that you are looking to find.""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."

More Fortinet FortiMail Cloud Cons →

"The only thing that can be improved in Perception Point is the in-depth analysis and attribution to cyberattack groups.""It would be helpful for Perception Point Advanced Email Security to have more integration with other solutions.""Dashboard is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required.""Email alerts should be available in real-time.""There is still room for improvement with BEC. There is more work to be done by Perception Point on machine learning and neuro language as well. BEC is very difficult if you don't have a computer language looking into the content of the email and trying to make a determination through that. With BEC you often don't have an attachment or a URL.""They could provide additional data loss prevention features as we encounter different kinds of attacks in today's scenario.""Our users would like the solution to scan outgoing emails. So, if my system is compromised, and I have malicious content in my system, then there is a possibility that I am sending a colleague that malicious content.""Perception Point Advanced Email Security should make available more use cases."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's on a subscribed basis."
  • "When we're talking about pricing, other products have about the same price. That is normal."
  • "The price of this solution could be more competitive."
  • "It should cost around $60,000. We bought it as a bundle, so everything comes together in the license. That is standard."
  • "A license for our company using FortiMail and FortiCare (filtering and support) was $4000."
  • "The licensing is for three years. In the beginning, we did not pay monthly, it was paid once for three years."
  • "You only have to purchase one license for multiple participants."
  • "I see how manageable and flexible the licenses are."
  • More Fortinet FortiMail Cloud Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We would always like it to be cheaper and save more money. However, we are getting the value from it."
  • "When compared to other solutions on the market, it is relatively fair."
  • "They are not the most expensive vendor. There are much more expensive vendors. They are not cheap, but they are not the most expensive. They are somewhere in the middle."
  • "We were able to get reasonable pricing that matches the ROI we want, so I think that it is the correct price point."
  • "The price of this solution was within our budget and I think that it will suit most SMBs."
  • "It fits every budget. It has a low price. I can't go ahead and sell it for any price I want. They are quite strict. They say, "This is the price that you can sell it for and this is the price for you as a reseller." That is it. It is not a lot of money. I will not become rich from it, but I like that they keep a standard for everyone. They are a fair company."
  • "It has very reasonable pricing. Normally, the end user is paying. Perception Point is already in the Amazon marketplace, so we cannot sell it as a distribution partner. For example, we cannot take more than that margin of what they offer in the marketplace. Whatever the end user is paying, it is definitely worth it and it is not that high."
  • "The pricing and licensing are very fair compared to competing companies in the same field."
