Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product helps users handle security challenges as it offers prefiltering options and does relatively good incident reporting."
"The anti-spam features are valuable."
"Fortinet’s support services are good."
"The user quarantine feature in the solution is good...It is a stable solution."
"Troubleshooting is very simple because you can see where the email was not delivered and why it would be considered as spam."
"We found the initial setup to be mostly straightforward."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiMail are its virus outbreak prevention and FortiSandbox integration."
"The initial setup is simple."

Cons

"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."
"ortiMail has some latency issues and sometimes takes time to receive emails."
"They should add a lot of threat-intelligence feeds from different sources - not only from one source (FortiGuard)."
"The statistics and BI in general could be improved."
"The main area for improvement is the pricing."
"My customers frequently ask to have detailed documentation for FortiMail and FortiWeb as they have in FortiGate. What they currently have is not enough."
"I would like it if the solution could be more affordable."
"I have little to say about possible improvements, but the configuration for content blocking could be better. So, for example, if the email includes the line "You have a Bitcoin", I would like it to be easier to block it before it enters an inbox. Fortinet could maybe offer better or simpler help on how to do this properly."
"I would rate them as a 1.5. The new hub created in India is not good."
"There is a need for improved integration with totally different products, such as a rapid server."
"I would like to see this solution become more flexible."
"The solution needs better support."
"The spam detection feature could be better."
"Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox."
