"They are very easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the low price and its ability to integrate with other Fortinet products."

"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 should improve the troubleshooting tools. It's unclear whether the device is blocked at the firewall level or at the device itself. The granularity needed for troubleshooting is currently lacking. From my perspective, Microsoft should address this issue to benefit many users who likely share the same sentiment."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement."
"The only thing they should improve is the licensing model. They should stop changing it. A year ago, the five features I mentioned were included in one product. Now, three of them are bundled into one product, and you have to pay extra for the other two. I don't mind paying extra, but I don't want them to change it every year or every six months. I need to know what I'm looking at and not worry about it next year."
"You should be able to deploy Defender for every subscription without the need to add servers."
"The pre-sales cost calculations could be more transparent."
"Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."

"I can't see the feedback to the FortiMail gateway."
"The setup of the rules can be improved. I think it should be simplified and would be the best improvement in the system."

"The dashboard could use improvement."
"Networking should be simplified."
"Its GUI needs improvement."
"It is slightly difficult to configure FortiMail in the cloud with Exchange on-premise, especially the quarantine mailbox access for end-users."
