Fortinet FortiMail Reviews

It actually filters the compromised emails when on a network layer itself.

The UI could be better.

It's quite stable. Both the on-premises and cloud deployments are quite stable.

It's scalable.

The technical support is excellent.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

The Fortinet line of products concentrates more on the security of these solutions. That is where we see the competitive advantage over other service providers.

I would definitely recommend Fortinet FortiMail and rate it at nine on a scale from one to ten.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It can be used for the mail for your trainees, personnel and spam sorting.

I find it to be easy to use and to manage.

I think the security of the product could improve.

I have been using the product for 4 or 5 years.

I find the product to be stable.

The product is scalable.

I did not use customer support.

The setup was not difficult at all.

The deployment is simple and once up and running it is easy to manage.

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.
