Secure email management improves through advanced filtering and dynamic virus scanning
Fortinet FortiMail offers capabilities like settings for mail delivery, mail filtering, spam controls, and email bursting prevention. It also allows for email forwarding, dynamic filtering, and scanning based on virus signatures. I can set varying levels of security. The tool is flexible and provides essential features for mail security and management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has a very high level of security through special licensing with solutions like FortiGuard, sandboxing solutions in the cloud, and URL rewriting solutions."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are that it protects us from spam and phishing attacks. We had a lot of attacks coming in and then we deployed this solution and they stopped. We no longer have any spam or phishing issues."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The anti-spam functionality is good and works well."
"We found the initial setup to be mostly straightforward."
"I think the spamming feature is very valuable."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiMail are its virus outbreak prevention and FortiSandbox integration."
"I am satisfied with both the scalability and the stability of this solution."
"It helps reduce spam and phishing attacks."
"The solution is easier to manage than FortiMail. You can implement policies easily."
 

Cons

"Sometimes it takes a little bit too long to determine if an email is good or not. If they could shorten that time span, it'd be so much better. It does delay our email, which does not make users happy. That said, I would have to say we have not been blacklisted for quite a while now."
"Online support sometimes takes up to a week to get back to you."
"The biggest room for improvement would be the deployment. It will be hard for someone who doesn't understand the interface to deploy. If you understand it, you can find your way around the problems."
"Fortinet FortiMail's technical support team has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"Improving the upgrade process, making it more user-friendly, and simplifying the management of hardware components could enhance the overall user experience and appeal of Fortinet's email security solution."
"Sometimes, the tool flags legitimate incoming traffic as spam."
"The product should work on licensing and provide more detail once the license is selected for the customer."
"The logging information is sometimes not clear or easy to understand."
"Its pricing could be affordable."
"The solution does not always effectively identify zero day spam and phishing, but once reported the correction occurs very quickly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you don't need the full bundle that includes everything, you have options for the small or medium enterprise environments."
"The product's licensing part depends on the number of mailboxes and the hard disk needed by customers. The cost of the license depends on the number of mailboxes and the number of emails."
"Pricing is straight-forward and renewable without complicated pricing structures."
"The price is acceptable for the support license it includes."
"Fortinet FortiMail is a little bit expensive."
"The annual cost is $55,000."
"Pricing is based on initial license purchase and use volume."
"We paid approximately $30,000 for the solution. It is less expensive than some other solutions. We have one license that carries all the features that we wanted."
"Email Security Gateway's pricing is good."
