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 analytics were the most valuable part, although they returned a lot of false positives
It was not particularly user friendly in setting up the emails, managing the lists, or publishing reports. It also sent out a couple of emails between November and December twice. I don't know how you'd deal with the false positives thing, but certainly sending out emails more than once should be fixable, and a really good team of UI guys could probably make some headway with the difficulty in actually publishing reports and the like.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to check to see if the email is real."
"One of the most beautiful benefits is its integration, as it can seamlessly integrate with any third-party email servers."
"It has the best feature for processed mail analysis."
"Fortinet FortiMail Cloud has had a positive effect on our organization since we can classify each email coming to our organization."
"We chose this solution because of the spam and virus scanners."
"The most valuable features are the low price and its ability to integrate with other Fortinet products."
"It is a good solution and a good choice."
"The most valuable feature is the advanced threat protection."
"It enables the quick creation of email templates, and also tracks valuable metrics."
"The analytics were the most valuable part, although they returned a lot of false positives from the remote configurations of email servers we hit."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 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."
"They could look at strengthening anti-spam with the newly observed domains."
"The price is relatively expensive."
"It is slightly difficult to configure FortiMail in the cloud with Exchange on-premise, especially the quarantine mailbox access for end-users."
"The downside of this solution is that it is difficult to implement policies on FortiMail."
"The drag and drop templates are great, but sometimes they cause HTML errors that require diagnosing the problem within individual lines of code."
"It was not particularly user friendly in setting up the emails, managing the lists, or publishing reports."
 

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."
"When we're talking about pricing, other products have about the same price. That is normal."
"I see how manageable and flexible the licenses are."
"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 licensing is for three years. In the beginning, we did not pay monthly, it was paid once for three years."
"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."
