Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The deployment is simple.""The product's initial setup is straightforward and simple, making it an easy-to-use tool.""The most valuable feature is the advanced threat protection.""The encryption features are most valuable to us.""This is a solid email monitoring and security system that learns and maintains a two-way dialog with email system administrators.""FortiMail Cloud is very fast.""The most valuable features are filtering and sandboxing.""The implementation was very professional. There are a lot of features I can get through Fortinet and FortiMail, such as security. FortiGuard is the most reliable and professional mitigation center to handle incidents and risk that I have to face."

"The most valuable feature is the straightforward setup.""The most valuable features are the anti-phishing and anti-spam capabilities.""You can install the plugins on the same machine hosting your exchange solution. It's a good complement for Sophos security, which scans the traffic before it reaches your mail service. Kaspersky is on the mail server itself while Sophos handles the incoming traffic. With both of them working together, we have the perfect solution for mail.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is a highly reliable and dependable solution.""The integration rate is very high in Kaspersky, which is why most of our customers like it."

Cons
"The setup of the rules can be improved. I think it should be simplified and would be the best improvement in the system.""The tool's UI can be simple since it's cluttered now and you can't understand where you are going. It's not obvious to find out the menus or things that you are looking to find.""I've not been able to use more than two domains in the back end. I like to view logs for the different domains. If I add any other domain I'm not able to get a proper cPanel for that domain. I am talking about the login factors. I'm not able to see logs for different domains in a different Window. Basically, it's an issue in the login process.""I can't see the feedback to the FortiMail gateway.""The downside of this solution is that it is difficult to implement policies on FortiMail.""The URL filtering and handling should be enhanced because it doesn't support all languages. I believe that this would be easy to enhance in the future.""This solution is slow and it should be made faster.""Its GUI needs improvement."

More Fortinet FortiMail Cloud Cons →

"Kaspersky lacks in the area of customization, so simpler customization options need to be provided to users.""The solution is not 100 percent stable and that can use improvement.""It would be great if Kaspersky could do what Sophos does for us. However, we love having these two different technologies doing the same thing. Sometimes Sophos has the patch to block a novel threat, but Kaspersky doesn't.""Encrypted email attachments are not being monitored by this solution, which is an area that they need to work on.""The biggest problem in the solution is related to its license renewal since it is pretty hard in Kaspersky to find out the procedure to renew a license."
