Find out in this report how the two Cloud Email solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to check to see if the email is real."

"The scanners with FortiMail are valuable."
"The deployment is simple."
"The most valuable features are email ATB and Malware Analysis."
"The encryption features are most valuable to us."
"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 can use it to perform detection and analysis of emails. For any malicious content found in emails, it gives in-depth analysis reports to end users. If you log into the console, you can see in-depth detection and how it happens."
"The solution’s effectiveness when it comes to detection is very good. It has a very good mechanism. It scans our emails. It identifies any threat or phishing attempts and phishing campaigns as well as any bad reputation, servers, or links, then it blocks them. This is what I find to be very good about this system."
"The most valuable feature is the technical support services."
"The solution’s effectiveness when it comes to detection is very good. It is stopping malicious emails and tagging emails noted as spam. So, we are able to disseminate those emails, get what we need, and block clearly malicious emails. It saves us a lot of valuable time. It keeps our users safe, e.g., the majority of emails that they would have gotten in the past don't even make it into their inbox."
"The most valuable feature of Perception Point Advanced Email Security is the filtering and securing of emails."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the ones that are related to finding impersonation attacks and detecting attempts to steal credentials. In scenarios where attackers get you to follow URLs to a malicious site that looks similar to a good site, and then ask for the user credentials to try to steal them, it is very useful."
"I see from time to time that Perception Point is being proactive. They approach us, and say, "Can you check this, and this?" So, it does seem that they are an extension of my incident response."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the speed of scanning emails."
"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 ease of use and user-friendliness is something we believe could be improved in FortiMail."
"I would like to see more advanced sandbox features, where you can actually download to a machine where you can test."
"The downside of this solution is that it is difficult to implement policies on FortiMail."
"The dashboard could use improvement."
"This solution is slow and it should be made faster."
"Its GUI needs improvement."
"Email sorting is missing from this solution."
"The only thing that can be improved in Perception Point is the in-depth analysis and attribution to cyberattack groups."
"There is room for improvement in terms of adding the DLP (Data Loss Prevention) solution, which would be a good option for Perception Point to look into."
"We have had a few false positives, not that many, but a few... they have a feature where someone from the Incident Response team can look at an email and mark it as 'verified malicious.' You might think that if an engine detects it is malicious, and an IR team member has flagged it as malicious, it will definitely be malicious. But that's not always the case."
"Dashboard is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"It would be helpful for Perception Point Advanced Email Security to have more integration with other solutions."
"They need more customer engagement. The product works very well. The IR works very well when we contact them. However, day-to-day, they should have more in communication with their customers explaining new products and features. There is possibly something that if I would know about it, then I would buy and use it. Maybe I need it. They need to improve their communications."
"Its websites for analysis need to be a bit more approachable for people who are less technical. Technically, it is a fire-and-forget solution. So, you want to be able to implement this solution for a lot of companies who don't have security operation teams (SOCs) behind them. You need to have something where a secretary can jump onto this console and release whatever she needs to release. Therefore, it needs to be written in a very specific non-technical language."
"Our users would like the solution to scan outgoing emails. So, if my system is compromised, and I have malicious content in my system, then there is a possibility that I am sending a colleague that malicious content."
