FortiGate provides inbound scanning for e-mail based threats, but FortiMail provides much deeper analysis and implements a much richer feature set.

I rate technical support 5/5.

We used Exchange Server + FortiGate firewall. FortiMail offers more email security features.

Initial setup is very easy.

No per user or mailbox pricing; industry leading based on price and performance.

I am actually looking for new a new solution at the moment, possibly Forcepoint or Arbor. This solution is good for us, but we hope to implement a new solution with Fortinet.

The infrastructure could be improved. The data leak prevention could also be better.

I have been using Fortinet FortiMail for five years.

I am satisfied with both the scalability and the stability of this solution.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of seven.

The primary use of the solution is for email protection and protection against spam.

The anti-spam and anti-virus features are the most valuable.

It would be nice if we could manage the solution from the cloud so I could handle things off-site if necessary.

The solution is 100% stable.

The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot of emails. We have about 2000 users here in Ghana.

Technical support is great. They're available 24/7 and their response time is typically within the hour.

I didn't previously use a different solution. My engineers may have used Barracuda in the past.

The initial setup of FortiMail is a little complex, but this is normal because it is a newer solution. It took about three days to deploy it. You only need about two people for deployment and maintenance.

I am an integrator; I handle the implementations myself.

It is one of the best solutions on the market. I would highly recommend them.

I would rate the solution ten out of ten.

My clients use this solution for email security.

When combining this solution with other Fortinet products, such as FortiGate, it integrates well and provides a comprehensive protection package.

The solution could improve by making the UI more user-friendly and increasing spam and threat detection capabilities.

I have been using this solution within the last 12 months.

The stability of the solution has been good.

FortiMail is scalable in my experience.

The installation is easy. There are a lot of study materials and a portal to receive information about how to do the installation. We read the available information and we were able to install and configure the solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Fortinet FortiMail a nine out of ten.

The product is not as expensive with competitive different brands. The products sell a lot.

I would definitely recommend this product to others.

I rate Fortinet Fortmail a seven out of ten.

I use Fortinet FortiMail for email security. As I mentioned before, we had a company bring it in to run as a Proof of Concept (POC) for six months. After that period, we approved and implemented it.

The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiMail is its ease of use. It is very straightforward and provides good functionality. 

Additionally, its threat detection capabilities have been beneficial. It has been easy to integrate and work with, providing us with the necessary features for email security.

The area that could use some improvement in Fortinet FortiMail is the integration process. I would like the integration to be easier.

I have used FortiMail for approximately four years.

The stability of Fortinet FortiMail is very high, and I would rate it a ten out of ten.

The scalability of Fortinet FortiMail is excellent. I would also rate it a ten out of ten.

I have had communications with Fortinet's technical support, and they offer high-quality support.

Positive

Before using Fortinet FortiMail, I used Cisco for email security. The change was due to my switching companies rather than dissatisfaction with Cisco.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiMail was easy.

The deployment was done directly through Fortinet, and there was no third-party involvement.

I have observed a return on investment from FortiMail. It offers cost savings compared to Cisco, which was very expensive.

The pricing of Fortinet FortiMail is cheaper compared to Cisco, which was quite expensive.

I would rate Fortinet FortiMail ten out of ten overall.
