Provides solid functionality and allows room for enhancing content management and support services

They can improve their CDR content profile and some anti-spam features. They don't have any direct script to run to add personalization, and we have to do it manually one by one. There are many tasks which we have to complete individually. We can't import files into the Fortinet FortiMail Cloud sensors. That's a drawback, as they need to provide a feature to import files. We can make the format, but we cannot import the file into Fortinet FortiMail Cloud. Additionally, in Fortinet FortiMail Cloud, not in FortiSandbox, they need to improve the block and allow list functionality to block URLs and allow specific types of URLs or regex.

"The most valuable feature is the advanced threat protection."

"Fortinet's support is really good."

"Fortinet and other software ensure that my company's email remains safe, helping to avoid access issues at some cost in production."

"This solution is easy to install."

"The deployment is simple."

"We did not put serious thought into solutions by other vendors because after looking at Fortinet, we found that it was quite simple, good, and full of features."

"I love FortiMail."

More Fortinet FortiMail Cloud pros

"I haven't been required to pay yet because they give me 10k free emails per month, so for medium emails, it's the best choice."

"It's a very easy product to set up."

"Mailgun is cheap, secure, fast, and simple."

Cons

"Fortinet policies add an extra load to the endpoint."

"The URL filtering and handling should be enhanced because it doesn't support all languages."

"FortiMail needs to develop further, particularly in integrating AI features, to keep up with rapidly advancing technology."

"I can't see the feedback to the FortiMail gateway."

"The dashboard could use improvement."

"Its GUI needs improvement."

"When it comes to security, this solution is not as efficient as other products."

"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."

More Fortinet FortiMail Cloud cons

"Preview of email as sent - currently, the preview is an image."

"Mailgun doesn't have this."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's price is reasonable."

"The price of this solution could be more competitive."

"The pricing depends on various factors, including the type of licenses and subscriptions you have procured"

"A license for our company using FortiMail and FortiCare (filtering and support) was $4000."

"It's on a subscribed basis."

"I rate the price of Fortinet FortiMail Cloud a five on a one to ten scale, where one is the low price, and ten is the high price. It is an averagely priced product."
