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 editor itself needs improvements, but we can communicate in a more engaging way.

Customer Service: It's very high. Technical Support: It's very high. A good example is that they're always keen on helping - I had some problems with the system and they were there with me all the time until the problem was solved. So I can say their customer service is top level.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is stable; this is a cloud-based solution with a data center, so if site one goes down then site two will continue, and it is always available."

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

"Cost-wise, it's a bit expensive, but it's totally worth it."

"The antivirus profile, which has a sandbox on the cloud and on-prem, can help us deeply analyze the attachment for any virus attached."

"The product's initial setup is straightforward and simple, making it an easy-to-use tool."

"FortiMail Cloud is very fast."

"This is a solid email monitoring and security system that learns and maintains a two-way dialog with email system administrators."

"We chose this solution because of the spam and virus scanners."

More Fortinet FortiMail Cloud pros

"We were able to send, to our potential clients, a mail proposal and follow who is clicking and reading what in order to prepare additional customized and adjusted offers according to their interest."

"Customer Service: It's very high. Technical Support: It's very high. A good example is that they're always keen on helping - I had some problems with the system and they were there with me all the time until the problem was solved."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"The dashboard could use improvement."

"I've not been able to use more than two domains in the back end. If I add any other domain I'm not able to get a proper cPanel for that domain."

"I would like to see more advanced sandbox features, where you can actually download to a machine where you can test."

"This solution is expensive, so the pricing could be improved to be more competitive."

"Email sorting is missing from this solution."

"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."

More Fortinet FortiMail Cloud cons

"We tried using IT as a survey tool, but at that time the feature was new and did not offer as much functionality as for example Google spreadsheets."

"The editor itself, as it is sometimes a bit complicated to find the features you need."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You only have to purchase one license for multiple participants."

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

"The product's price is reasonable."

"I see how manageable and flexible the licenses are."

"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."

"The licensing is for three years. In the beginning, we did not pay monthly, it was paid once for three years."

"When we're talking about pricing, other products have about the same price. That is normal."

"It's on a subscribed basis."
