Pravin Mandlik - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides enhanced email security with potential agent compatibility issues
There are definitely features that Fortinet should work on. I'm not the right person to implement those features. For a portable cloud solution, a customer has more affinity towards a solution where endpoint security is already in place. In endpoint security, they are not at the latest quadrant. That is why a customer with existing endpoint security solutions like Trend Micro might prefer a main security solution from that vendor. If we go for FortiMail Cloud and have a separate endpoint security solution, there are two agents that have to sit on a customer endpoint. From that perspective, Fortinet policies add an extra load to the endpoint. Maybe other solutions have an advantage when it comes to Fortinet.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 encryption features are most valuable to us."
"The quarantine feature of FortiMail is the most valuable, as it quarantines emails based on my policies."
"The most valuable feature is the advanced threat protection."
"One of the most beautiful benefits is its integration, as it can seamlessly integrate with any third-party email servers."
"The return on investment for us was achieved since we did not have similar incidents again in our environment."
"Content disarming and analysis are essential features in our email security setup"
"Fortinet FortiMail Cloud has had a positive effect on our organization since we can classify each email coming to our organization."
"It's a very easy product to set up."
 

Cons

"This ease of use and user-friendliness is something we believe could be improved in FortiMail."
"They could look at strengthening anti-spam with the newly observed domains."
"Fortinet policies add an extra load to the endpoint."
"Email sorting is missing from this solution."
"Fortinet FortiMail Cloud doesn't have AI features, making it an outdated tool for me."
"It is slightly difficult to configure FortiMail in the cloud with Exchange on-premise, especially the quarantine mailbox access for end-users."
"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."
"Fortimail Cloud should include more advanced AI features that can analyze every traffic type."
"The solution needs better templating and email validation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"When we're talking about pricing, other products have about the same price. That is normal."
"It's on a subscribed basis."
"It should cost around $60,000. We bought it as a bundle, so everything comes together in the license. That is standard."
"The licensing is for three years. In the beginning, we did not pay monthly, it was paid once for three years."
"The product's price is reasonable."
"I see how manageable and flexible the licenses are."
"You only have to purchase one license for multiple participants."
"We pay $80 a month to use the solution."
