Fortinet FortiMail Cloud Reviews

I work for an IT Technical company and I sell this solution to other companies.

The most valuable features are the low price and its ability to integrate with other Fortinet products. Fortinet has the concept of a security fabric that includes FortiMail and FortiGate, and everything works well together. Some solutions, such as FortiMail, have both hardware and software for the machine. Customers with more money buy the hardware.

The downside of this solution is that it is difficult to implement policies on FortiMail.

As an example, if a customer manages FortiMail using a different SCL, it is difficult to implement in the customer's box and FortiMail.

I have been using this solution for six or seven years.

This solution is stable.

This solution is scalable, we have no issues with the scalability of this solution.

The technical support is good. You are not directed to several other levels or engineers like other solutions. You are contacted and speak to an engineer in the language you prefer, but it's preferential available in English.

They are quick to respond and to resolve your issues.

I have experience with Cisco hardware solutions.

The initial setup is complex because there are government restrictions on the use of the cloud here in Ukraine. Data cannot be sent to another country if it belongs to a government organization.

It is very simple to deploy and you need one or two engineers to maintain this solution.

If you have an experienced engineer it takes one day to deploy.

It's a low budget solution. You only have to purchase one license for multiple participants. With Cisco, you purchase one license for ten users.

I would recommend this solution and others based on my customer's needs.

I would rate FortiMail a seven out of ten.

We are using FortiMail Cloud for the SMTP mail gateway.

The product has the best feature for processed mail analysis.

FortiMail Cloud's GUI needs improvement. It could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate as well.

We have been using FortiMail Cloud for less than a year.

Stability-wise, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

I rate FortiMail Cloud's scalability a six out of ten.

The licensing in terms of the provisioning process was complex for the initial setup.

The product allows us to have a few more functionalities, but there is no real difference in return on investment compared to previous years.

FortiMail Cloud has a reasonable price, although its licensing is complex.

There is no huge difference between FortiMail, Proofpoint, or Cisco IronPort devices. I rate the product an eight out of ten.

The primary use case for this solution is the security of email.

The most valuable feature is the advanced threat protection.

This solution is expensive, so the pricing could be improved to be more competitive.

I would like to see more advanced sandbox features, where you can actually download to a machine where you can test.

I am happy with the stability. We haven't had a bug or a crash yet. Normally, it's set and forget, and we don't have to worry about bugs or anything.

It is easy to scale this solution.

We have about sixteen clients using this solution, and the user count is well above one thousand. Some of them are IT managers but the majority are end-users.

We have been in touch with technical support twice, although it was for FortiGate and FortiAnalyzer. We are happy with the support provided by Fortinet.

We use the Cisco security stack as well. The only reasons we use both have to do with scalability and price.

The complexity of the initial setup depends on the implementor's experience. If you know what you're doing then it's easy, but if you don't then I think it's complex.

The first time we implemented this solution we had assistance from our distributor. After that, we started doing it ourselves.

The price of this solution could be more competitive.

My advice to anyone who is implementing this solution is to make sure that it is always kept up to date with the latest in threat protection. That is the most important thing.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

FortiMail Cloud is part of our network security and DLP solution. We primarily use it for email protection, including antispam.

The most valuable features are the antispam and URL analysis. 

FortiMail Cloud is very fast.

Networking should be simplified.

We have been using Fortinet FortiMail Cloud for about two years.

This solution has great scalability.

I have been in contact with technical support through the support portal. The support was fast and they took an interest in each of the problems they received. Overall, I am satisfied with it.

I don't think that Fortinet is complex at all. It requires setting up the domains and the users, but it is not complex.

I installed this solution on my own, and I discussed it with my colleague.

We did not put serious thought into solutions by other vendors because after looking at Fortinet, we found that it was quite simple, good, and full of features.

My advice to anybody who is implementing this solution is to first ask what you want from your network and from your resources. Decide what it is what you want to achieve and then design your solution.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I use this solution for email security, including checking credentials.

We have an on-premises deployment.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to check to see if the email is real.

This solution is slow and it should be made faster.

I haven't been using this solution long enough to discuss stability.

I have not tried scaling this solution yet.

The initial setup of this solution is straightforward, as far as I remember.

I searched online for help implementing this solution myself.

I love FortiMail.

This is a solution that I might recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We are resellers, and this is one of the solutions that I provide for my customers.

One of my Egyptian customers has lots of inboxes and we used this solution as a list box server. You can also use it for messaging security.

We have experience with the on-premises deployment.

When it comes to security, this solution is not as efficient as other products.

Email sorting is missing from this solution.

When it comes to internationalization, especially with the time and date, this solution is very limited. We need a third-party appliance to take care of that.

This solution is pretty stable, overall.

We have twenty-five hundred mailboxes.

We have had a couple of technical support cases, and support has not been a problem.

This solution is easy to install. The deployment takes about forty-five minutes.

I update this solution regularly.

I can do the installation myself.

I have not used the cloud version of this solution, but I think that it will become more popular in the coming years.

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.
