Fortinet FortiMail Reviews

We mainly use Fortinet FortiMail as an anti-spam solution.

Overall, I'm satisfied with Fortinet FortiMail.

I like that it has reasonable pricing. I also like that it's very good compared to its competitors and has many features.

I like the anti-spam and security features of Fortinet FortiMail, and that its features complement each other.

A room for improvement in Fortinet FortiMail is that it's hardware-based. It only has a hardware version.

I also didn't find the solution scalable, so that's another area for improvement.

My experience with Fortinet FortiMail is ten years.

Fortinet FortiMail is a very stable solution.

Fortinet FortiMail is not scalable because once you connect to a model, you're stuck with it. It isn't a good fit for enterprise companies.

Fortinet FortiMail has excellent technical support.

Fortinet FortiMail is easy to deploy.

We deploy Fortinet FortiMail for customers. We have a technical team that handles the deployment.

I find Fortinet FortiMail pricing reasonable. 

There's no additional cost apart from its standard licensing fees.

My company is a reseller for Fortinet.

I primarily work with Fortinet FortiMail and Fortinet FortiGate, but with FortiADC, not so much.

My customers use Fortinet FortiMail, but my company also uses it as a Fortinet partner.

I mainly deal with sales and scoping for Fortinet FortiMail and other Fortinet products.

My rating for the solution is a ten out of ten.

I use FortiMail for email security, ransomware and phishing protection, risk and compliance, security, and automation.

FortiMail's dashboard is somewhat complex and could be made simpler. Its integration could also be easier.

I've been working with FortiMail for four to five years.

FortiMail is a stable product.

FortiMail is scalable.

Fortinet's support system lags behind the rest of its offerings and needs to be fine-tuned and polished.

The initial setup is straightforward.

FortiMail has extra charges for installation, configuration, and project management.

I recommend FortiMail to other users and rate it eight out of ten.

We are system integrators and we deploy it on our customer's sites for email security.

This solution has many good features. The number of false positives is minimal.

It is easy to use and integrates well with FortiSandbox.

It's very contextual, and the reporting is good.

There have been many improvements with the migration from 6.0.

I don't know if it is possible, but I would like to see Artificial Intelligence and machine learning introduced. It would allow for more detailed threat identification.

I have been using FortiMail for five years.

This is a very stable product and all of our customers are happy that we use it.

This solution is scalable.

We have 10 customers who have purchased it and we have two operators who work with the accounts.

From a technical aspect, we have no issues as we have two or three team members who are certified in this product.

Previously, we have not used any other products. We have heard of Cisco but have not worked with this product.

The initial setup is straightforward, not at all complex. It was very easy.

It is very intuitive and easy to deploy. 

Our in-house team deploys and maintains it.

Approximately five years ago the price was low. Now the price is a bit on the high side.

I understand it is because the product comes with a vendor license. One vendor can do many things.

The price is acceptable for the support license it includes.

I would encourage everyone to use this product. Many organizations that are concerned about security especially with email, need to deploy FortiMail.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I primarily just use the product as an email gateway for our email server.

Before I used the solution, I got a lot of spam emails.

The anti-spam and the IPS to help block items and attachments that come with the email are both quite helpful. It can block a lot of fake emails.

The initial setup is easy.

I have found the product to be stable. 

The solution can scale. 

So far I don't need any improvements right now. I'm quite happy with the product as-is.

At some point, FortiMail and Fortigate should merge together in one box. If they did that, it would be really helpful for the user. 

I've been using the solution for one year.

It is, overall, a stable solution. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It is reliable and the performance is good. 

Currently, I'm using it for around 600 to 700 email users. It still performs quite well for me. There is no delay to speak of.

I've never used technical support and have never reached out to them in the past.

I'm also familiar with Cisco. This product is easier to set up than Cisco. 

We found the initial setup process to be very simple. It's not difficult. 

The pricing is very reasonable. It's not overly expensive. We pay a yearly licensing fee. 

I compared quite a few options with Cisco. In the end, this was the cost-effective option and the features are excellent.

We're just customers and end-users.

The version we are using is the newest one, as I already updated the OS and I just bought it last year.

For those considering the solution, they better have a very clear idea about how they will place the FortiMail in their network. For example, either as the email server itself or as the email gateway. If you decided correctly in the first place, then you can configure it easily.

FortiMail has a low cost and high support. Support is very helpful, however, so far, I don't need to use them at all. At the very least, I have someone that I can call and ask questions in Thai. This is not the case, for example, with Cisco. 

I'd rate the solution an eight out of ten. I'll rate it higher when it can be easier to configure or connect to the cloud to report on the attachments.

We are using Fortinet FortiMail for safe emailing. We use two versions of the solution 200E and 1000D.

Fortinet FortiMail's most valuable features are antispam, antivirus, database, and data loss prevention (DLP).

Fortinet FortiMail could improve general user management. There are no password policies for users.

I have been using Fortinet FortiMail for approximately four years.

The stability and performance of the solution have been great. We have not had any problems since we have been using it.

The scalability of the solution depends on the version you have. If you have the 200E it has a maximum of 150 users and the 1000D maximum is 1000. These versions are for small to medium-sized companies.

In the 200E version of Fortinet FortiMail we have approximately 70 users and in the 1000D version have approximately 600 users.

We had an issue with the solution and the support was very helpful. The technical team is knowledgeable and they have given us remote support that has been very good in helping us resolve issues.

The installation is straightforward and it took approximately one hour.

I did the implementation myself.

The fees for Fortinet FortiMail can be complicated. However, overall the pricing is fair.

I have evaluated Palo Alto and their technology is better than Fortinet. However, for email, Fortinet FortiMail is the best.

If someone is looking for an on-premise private email server, I would recommend FortiMail. If they have no concerns over privacy then there are cloud solutions available.

I rate Fortinet FortiMail an eight out of ten.

We have the FortiMail appliance, and it is installed on-premises. It provides email filtering for our Exchange 2013 server.

These days, the threats by email are very high, and this solution provides our security. I would say that eighty percent of threats are known, and there is another twenty percent that is new. New threats are added to the database as they are discovered.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the spam filter.

The only drawback to this solution is that the firmware is frequently updated, and each update results in downtime. Because of this, sometimes we skip the firmware updates so that we don't have to work outside of office hours.

The reporting capability could be improved.

It would be helpful to have a tracking feature to help us with investigating where a particular email came from.

This is a stable solution. 

We don't have a big organization, but it has been flexible enough for us. 

We have approximately one hundred email addresses being filtered. We have perhaps seventy-five people, but some have multiple email accounts, and there are additional mailboxes for the business, as well.

Technical support for this solution is very good.

The initial setup for this solution is straightforward.

We update the firmware on the appliance ourselves, and the latest update was just last week.

This is a good solution and value for the money.

This is a dynamic product that is continuously being improved. 

As we are moving to Office 365, we may be moving away from this solution. We may look for a cloud-based solution.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Fortinet FortiMail is used for mail protection.

Fortinet FortiMail's most valuable features are its performance and security.

I have been using Fortinet FortiMail for approximately two years.

Fortinet FortiMail is stable.

The salability of Fortinet FortiMail is good.

We have approximately 20 people using this solution in my organization.

The support could be faster because we've been receiving complaints from customers, they say that when they raise a ticket, it doesn't take 24 hours to respond, sometimes the support responds after three days. This is a lot of time.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiMail was straightforward. The process took approximately two hours.

There is a license required for this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Fortinet FortiMail a nine out of ten.

This is primarily used for anti-spam, in front of Microsoft Office 365.

This solution is deployed in a public cloud environment.

This solution has protected us from email spam and from phishing.

The most valuable features of this solution are anti-spam, sender reputation, and antivirus.

This is a good multi-tenant solution.

The web console management interface could be improved.

The documentation can be improved.

The stability of this solution is ok. It is always up.

This solution is very scalable.

The companies using this solution have between one hundred and two hundred people. We do plan to increase our usage of this solution.

Technical support is very competent and quick to answer our questions.

Prior to this solution, we used products from Cisco and Trend Micro. We switched mainly because of the price. 

The initial setup of this solution is very easy.

The deployment took between two and three days.

We implement this solution for our clients and deploy it using our in-house team.

Maintenance of this solution is automatic.

We have seen ROI with this solution.

The licensing model for this solution is better because it is based on the box and not the number of users.

I was already familiar with many solutions, so we did not evaluate other options before choosing this one.

This solution contains all of the features that we need. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
