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.

It's very straightforward to set up, but you have to be technical to do it.

The HTML templating functionality was the most important feature/reason for us to move to their service. A must in today’s customer contact environment, but the out of the box analytics have also been very valuable. In a customer service environment, it is imperative to know that the customer is receiving the message, and in a timely manner.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

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

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

"Fortinet FortiMail Cloud has had a positive effect on our organization since we can classify each email coming to our organization."

"Overall, it is a comprehensive and reliable solution."

"Fortinet is good at providing security beyond our email solution assets."

"This solution is easy to install. The deployment takes about forty-five minutes."

"Content disarming and analysis are essential features in our email security setup"

More Fortinet FortiMail Cloud pros

"Being able to track open and click rates, so we can adjust email content appropriately."

"The superior customer service we can now offer our clients is a differentiator when it comes to client retention and winning new business."

Cons

"It is slightly difficult to configure FortiMail in the cloud with Exchange on-premise, especially the quarantine mailbox access for end-users."

"The dashboard could use improvement."

"Networking should be simplified."

"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."

"This ease of use and user-friendliness is something we believe could be improved in FortiMail."

"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."

"The product could be improved by extending reporting tools and adding options for notification."

"The downside of this solution is that it is difficult to implement policies on FortiMail."

More Fortinet FortiMail Cloud cons

"It was on the slow side."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It should cost around $60,000. We bought it as a bundle, so everything comes together in the license. That is standard."

"It's on a subscribed basis."

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

"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 product's price is reasonable."

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

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

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