Provides enhanced email security with potential agent compatibility issues
There are definitely features that Fortinet should work on. I'm not the right person to implement those features. For a portable cloud solution, a customer has more affinity towards a solution where endpoint security is already in place. In endpoint security, they are not at the latest quadrant. That is why a customer with existing endpoint security solutions like Trend Micro might prefer a main security solution from that vendor. If we go for FortiMail Cloud and have a separate endpoint security solution, there are two agents that have to sit on a customer endpoint. From that perspective, Fortinet policies add an extra load to the endpoint. Maybe other solutions have an advantage when it comes to Fortinet.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features are filtering and sandboxing."
"The product's initial setup is straightforward and simple, making it an easy-to-use tool."
"The most valuable features are email ATB and Malware Analysis."
"Fortinet and other software ensure that my company's email remains safe, helping to avoid access issues at some cost in production."
"Cost-wise, it's a bit expensive, but it's totally worth it."
"This solution is easy to install. The deployment takes about forty-five minutes."
"One of the most beautiful benefits is its integration, as it can seamlessly integrate with any third-party email servers."
"FortiMail Cloud is very fast."
"FireEye Email Security helps us prevent spam and phishing emails and all other business-compromised email attacks."
"The product protects my email."
"One of the most valuable features is the protection against vulnerabilities, particularly through virtual patching."
"We can control this solution from the cloud and are able to access it from wherever we are."
"The auto-remediation feature is valuable."
"I like FireEye's filtering, spam digests, and its advanced threat review of email flow. It also has a broad range of riskware rules you can deploy."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its simplicity. It's very user-friendly."
"Before installing, consider potential challenges with system performance, especially when integrating multiple tools, which could slow down performance."
 

Cons

"The setup of the rules can be improved. I think it should be simplified and would be the best improvement in the system."
"The downside of this solution is that it is difficult to implement policies on FortiMail."
"There are no specific new features I would suggest at this moment."
"Fortinet policies add an extra load to the endpoint."
"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."
"The URL filtering and handling should be enhanced because it doesn't support all languages. I believe that this would be easy to enhance in the future."
"Email sorting is missing from this solution."
"The customer service and technical support from Fortinet could improve. While they rate between seven and eight, reaching support can sometimes be challenging and time-consuming."
"Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox."
"I would rate them as a 1.5. The new hub created in India is not good."
"The solution needs better support."
"In general, our company should make the tool more robust to protect our systems."
"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 solution must provide features to scan QR codes for threats."
"The reporting aspect of the solution needs improvement."
"The custom tailoring is limited."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing depends on various factors, including the type of licenses and subscriptions you have procured"
"A license for our company using FortiMail and FortiCare (filtering and support) was $4000."
"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."
"I rate the price of Fortinet FortiMail Cloud a five on a one to ten scale, where one is the low price, and ten is the high price. It is an averagely priced product."
"I see how manageable and flexible the licenses are."
"I rate the product price as nine out of ten, where ten is the most expensive, and one is the cheapest. There is no need to pay any extra charges apart from the licensing costs."
"The cost is very high."
"The solution requires a license to be purchased for every user."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
