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 provides a mix of communication channels. I have never seen downtime.
It provides a great mix of communication channels We have a better process of customer engagement because of the better open rate of our marketing newsletters. It could have a little better usability to get started working with SendPulse, so people could onboard faster and start working faster.…

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."
"Fortinet FortiMail Cloud has had a positive effect on our organization since we can classify each email coming to our organization."
"With Office 365, I would recommend using this solution as there would be no problem and everything will be taken care of."
"I am happy with the stability."
"The encryption features are most valuable to us."
"We chose this solution because of the spam and virus scanners."
"The most valuable features are email ATB and Malware Analysis."
"The deployment is simple."
"The email resend feature alone made this product worth the money."
"The drag-and-drop email builder is the most valuable feature."
"Setup was very easy, really good platform."
"We have a better process of customer engagement because of the better open rate of our marketing newsletters."
 

Cons

"Email sorting is missing from this solution."
"The setup of the rules can be improved. I think it should be simplified and would be the best improvement in the system."
"There are no specific new features I would suggest at this moment."
"The product could be improved by extending reporting tools and adding options for notification."
"The throwback with Sophos is that it had a huge problem with spam."
"The tool's UI can be simple since it's cluttered now and you can't understand where you are going. It's not obvious to find out the menus or things that you are looking to find."
"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."
"Fortimail Cloud should include more advanced AI features that can analyze every traffic type."
"Would be great if deliverability % would be better."
"It could have a little better usability to get started working with SendPulse, so people could onboard faster and start working faster."
"I would like to see more integration with other apps and browsers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's price is reasonable."
"The price of this solution could be more competitive."
"I see how manageable and flexible the licenses are."
"You only have to purchase one license for multiple participants."
"The licensing is for three years. In the beginning, we did not pay monthly, it was paid once for three years."
"A license for our company using FortiMail and FortiCare (filtering and support) was $4000."
"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."
"It's on a subscribed basis."
