Featured Reviews

Abhimanyu Das - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Cybersecurity Engineer at Kyndryl
Targeted email filtering has reduced spam and phishing and now saves significant investigation time
The best features of Fortinet FortiMail include its techniques and tactics, which are highly effective compared to other solutions such as Microsoft 365. Although Fortinet FortiMail may not be as advanced in some aspects, it is well recognized for its strong performance in handling spam and phishing. It performs thorough mail scanning and also offers a sandboxing feature that enhances protection. Fortinet FortiMail has had a positive impact on my organization by significantly reducing unwanted email activities such as spam and phishing. It provides accurate detection and generates results that often exceed what can be achieved through manual analysis. Since deploying Fortinet FortiMail, I have observed a reduction in investigation time by at least 20 to 30 percent.

Helps us reduce phishing email attacks and has a user-friendly dashboard
It is the best product. It helps reduce spam and phishing attacks. It has user-friendly Real-Time Phishing Mitigation features for environmental protection. It primarily focuses on verifying security features like SPS (Sender Policy Framework) and Smart DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail). The DLP feature ensures that only emails meeting the required security standards pass through the secure gateway. The configuration and management of the policies and settings are easy to navigate. I rate it an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It actually filters the compromised emails when on a network layer itself."
"Fortinet FortiMail has been beneficial to my company; in the past, there were a lot of spam and phishing attempts, but after Fortinet FortiMail was implemented, it provided better protection against spam, phishing attempts, and ransomware."
"The integration with FortiSandbox is good, and something that we utilize often."
"I like the anti-spam and security features of Fortinet FortiMail, and that its features complement each other."
"The anti-spam feature is very valuable."
"FortiMail has a low cost and high support."
"Through Fortinet FortiMail, we can perfectly authenticate each local mail service and mail release so that only authenticated mail goes out from our domain."
"This is a very stable product and all of our customers are happy that we use it."
"It helps reduce spam and phishing attacks."
"The solution is easier to manage than FortiMail. You can implement policies easily."
 

Cons

"Improving the upgrade process, making it more user-friendly, and simplifying the management of hardware components could enhance the overall user experience and appeal of Fortinet's email security solution."
"In my opinion, points for improvement for Fortinet FortiMail include sometimes the speed and fine-tuning the false positive problems, especially with the signed PDF attachments and the whitelist and blacklist."
"Sometimes, the tool flags legitimate incoming traffic as spam."
"In the Latin America market, some spam messages use Portuguese language. Some clearly spam messages would be better identified by the anti-spam if not for the language."
"The solution is user-friendly to a degree but the dashboard needs improvement."
"The UI could be better."
"Sometimes it takes a little bit too long to determine if an email is good or not. If they could shorten that time span, it'd be so much better. It does delay our email, which does not make users happy. That said, I would have to say we have not been blacklisted for quite a while now."
"They should add a lot of threat-intelligence feeds from different sources - not only from one source (FortiGuard)."
"The solution does not always effectively identify zero day spam and phishing, but once reported the correction occurs very quickly."
"Its pricing could be affordable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonably priced compared to one of its competitors."
"This is a good solution and value for the money."
"Fortinet FortiMail is inexpensive."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"Fortinet FortiMail has an annual license agreement."
"It is an expensive product."
"The fees for Fortinet FortiMail can be complicated. However, overall the pricing is fair."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"Email Security Gateway's pricing is good."
