Pravin Mandlik - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

"One of the most valuable features is the protection against vulnerabilities, particularly through virtual patching."
"What I find most valuable with the solution is that it can integrate with cloud solutions, such as Google and Microsoft. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"FireEye Email Security is easy to use."
"We have had very good results from the use of FireEye Email Security. We are very comfortable with this technology, but I don't know if it's necessary to move into the cloud, we will check other technologies and study them. Additionally, the solution has good integration."
"One of the valuable features of the product stems from the fact that it is easy to implement the tool in our environment."
 

Cons

"Its GUI needs improvement."
"The downside of this solution is that it is difficult to implement policies on FortiMail."
"The product could be improved by extending reporting tools and adding options for notification."
"I would like to see more advanced sandbox features, where you can actually download to a machine where you can test."
"We can't import files into the Fortinet FortiMail Cloud sensors. That's a drawback, as they need to provide a feature to import files."
"The price is relatively expensive."
"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."
"They could look at strengthening anti-spam with the newly observed domains."
"The reporting aspect of the solution needs improvement."
"I would like to see this solution become more flexible."
"The spam detection feature could be better."
"If they want to be the primary or best solution, they need to have better email management features."
"FireEye needs single sign-on. They say it's on their roadmap. They should also implement support for Microsoft Authenticator app for 2FA."
"I would like the solution to be able to automatically quarantine the malicious emails before getting to the user's mailbox and continue with regular email operations. This could result in the user clicking the email before the purge operation is completed."
"In general, our company should make the tool more robust to protect our systems."
"The solution must provide features to scan QR codes for threats."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It should cost around $60,000. We bought it as a bundle, so everything comes together in the license. That is standard."
"The product's price is reasonable."
"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."
"It's on a subscribed basis."
"I see how manageable and flexible the licenses are."
"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 licensing is on a yearly basis."
"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 solution requires a license to be purchased for every user."
"The cost is very high."
