Provides solid functionality and allows room for enhancing content management and support services

They can improve their CDR content profile and some anti-spam features. They don't have any direct script to run to add personalization, and we have to do it manually one by one. There are many tasks which we have to complete individually. 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. We can make the format, but we cannot import the file into Fortinet FortiMail Cloud. Additionally, in Fortinet FortiMail Cloud, not in FortiSandbox, they need to improve the block and allow list functionality to block URLs and allow specific types of URLs or regex.

"Email sorting is missing from this solution."

"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.

"The product's price is reasonable."

"A license for our company using FortiMail and FortiCare (filtering and support) was $4000."

"I see how manageable and flexible the licenses are."

"The licensing is for three years. In the beginning, we did not pay monthly, it was paid once for three years."

"The price of this solution could be more competitive."

"The pricing depends on various factors, including the type of licenses and subscriptions you have procured"
