Fortinet FortiMail is almost the last product that I am able to use in the customer's environment because all of the other vendors are moving to the Microsoft or Google environment, and as I remember, two or three vendors have on-premises solutions for mail protection. That is why we use it, and our customers appreciate it because it is easy to use and has no user device license. It has only a simple device license.

Fortinet FortiMail has valuable features such as on-premises deployment and click protection, and it is working properly. This is the most important part for us, and we experience this without a lot of false positive troubleshooting because it is important for our technical team.

We use Fortinet FortiMail sandbox integration, but nowadays I am a CISO, so I am not working closely with this product as I am leading projects. However, our customers are using sandboxing also to protect against known and unknown viruses.

The high performance mail scanning of Fortinet FortiMail works fine, but sometimes it does not, depending on the hardware that you are buying. If you are buying a low-cost product, the speed is low. If you choose a bigger product, it will be faster. The main goal is that if you do not need high speed, it is enough to buy the lowest box. As I mentioned, you do not want to buy a user license; it is working, but it has a lower traffic throughput, and the performance is lower, so that is why we appreciate it.

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.

I understand that it is mostly with PDF formats, but in the whole picture, Fortinet FortiMail is a good product.

I have been working with Fortinet FortiMail for more than ten years.

From one to ten, I would rate the stability of Fortinet FortiMail as a nine.

The scalability of Fortinet FortiMail depends on whether you are buying a virtualized license, which allows for a scalable pay-as-you-go model, or if you are buying a box, in which case you can only buy a new one. It is a trade-up program only, but many customers opt for the lowest box because the virtual machine version is almost enough for most customers.

I would rate technical support from Fortinet as a seven. However, for Fortinet FortiMail support, I would rate it as an eight, but for example, FortiGate is a six because it depends on the people on the other side. Mainly, they are focusing on Fortinet FortiMail and FortiAnalyzer, where the support engineers are very good. If you are calling about a problem with your FortiGate, sometimes it is hard to find the best engineer.

The initial setup for Fortinet FortiMail is easy if you know what needs to be done; however, if you have no experience, it will be hard because you need to know how it works.

In my opinion, Fortinet FortiMail can be compared to cloud API solutions or perhaps Cisco, but we are working only with Fortinet FortiMail for mail protection because it is working well for us and our customers. If you are buying a good Microsoft license, maybe P5 that includes email security, that is possibly the main competitor because if you are procuring everything from the cloud provider, it comes as one package, which makes it easier to handle the license.

Fortinet FortiMail is a very good product and reliable, and we find it easy to sell it.

The main benefits that Fortinet FortiMail provides to the end-user, in my opinion, include the price, on-premises solution, and ease of use.

I would rate pricing for Fortinet FortiMail as an eight.

I am a Fortinet reseller, so for the purchase process, I am directly working with Fortinet.

We are buying from the distributors, not through the AWS Marketplace or something similar.

I am recommending Fortinet FortiMail to other users. I would give Fortinet FortiMail a final rating of eight overall.

I use Fortinet FortiMail as a firewall and an SMTP gateway for email. It works with our existing mail server on-premises to handle email filtering and security functions.

Fortinet FortiMail offers capabilities like settings for mail delivery, mail filtering, spam controls, and email bursting prevention. It also allows for email forwarding, dynamic filtering, and scanning based on virus signatures. I can set varying levels of security. The tool is flexible and provides essential features for mail security and management.

Fortinet FortiMail should keep pace with features offered by cloud-based services like Google and Microsoft Outlook. Additionally, the transition from on-premises devices to virtual appliances may be necessary as more organizations migrate email services to the cloud.

I have used Fortinet FortiMail for more than five years.

I have not contacted FortiMail support specifically, but I mentioned that support for FortiGate was delayed, and it was challenging for me to understand support questions. I did not highlight any specific issues for Fortinet FortiMail.

Fortinet FortiMail is considered overpriced by Indian rupee standards. My organization is not profit-making, and academic pricing is required, but it may not be available for security products like FortiGate.

Security remains essential, and maintaining on-premises solutions may become challenging as more organizations move to cloud hosting services. Fortinet FortiMail is rated an eight for the protection and features it provides in the on-premises setup. The email security tool is considered essential despite high costs to ensure appropriate protection for data.

I use Fortinet FortiMail for email security. As I mentioned before, we had a company bring it in to run as a Proof of Concept (POC) for six months. After that period, we approved and implemented it.

The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiMail is its ease of use. It is very straightforward and provides good functionality.

Additionally, its threat detection capabilities have been beneficial. It has been easy to integrate and work with, providing us with the necessary features for email security.

The area that could use some improvement in Fortinet FortiMail is the integration process. I would like the integration to be easier.

I have used FortiMail for approximately four years.

The stability of Fortinet FortiMail is very high, and I would rate it a ten out of ten.

The scalability of Fortinet FortiMail is excellent. I would also rate it a ten out of ten.

I have had communications with Fortinet's technical support, and they offer high-quality support.

Before using Fortinet FortiMail, I used Cisco for email security. The change was due to my switching companies rather than dissatisfaction with Cisco.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiMail was easy.

The deployment was done directly through Fortinet, and there was no third-party involvement.

I have observed a return on investment from FortiMail. It offers cost savings compared to Cisco, which was very expensive.

The pricing of Fortinet FortiMail is cheaper compared to Cisco, which was quite expensive.

I would rate Fortinet FortiMail ten out of ten overall.

We use FortiMail to filter all emails coming to our mail server. It blocks malicious emails automatically. We also have FortiAnalyzer to collect logs and monitor traffic with Fortinet analyzers. We are in the process of buying FortiWeb to secure our website against attacks like SQL injection.

FortiMail filters all emails coming to our mail server, blocking any that are malicious automatically.

FortiMail effectively filters all emails coming to our mail server, blocking malicious ones automatically. Everything is easy to configure and manage all appliances in one interface. This streamlined interface applies to FortiMail, FortiAnalyzer, and other Fortinet products, making it user-friendly and efficient for our organization.

Our Fortinet infrastructure allows us to maintain consistent protection across all devices.

The main area for improvement is the pricing. The configuration is good and easy to use, however, the renewal cost is higher than that of other vendors.

We have used FortiMail and Fortinet products for six years, with FortiAnalyzer used for about three years.

FortiMail is very stable. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate its stability at a ten out of ten.

FortiMail is highly scalable. I would rate its scalability ten out of ten.

The technical support from Fortinet is very satisfactory. They are responsive and helpful. I would rate their support at ten out of ten.

We have not switched to any other vendor because replacing these appliances would require significant infrastructure development, which is costly.

The initial setup was straightforward and mostly handled by our third-party professional services provider.

We used third-party professional services for deployment of Fortinet products.

We have not had any return on investment from FortiMail as we primarily use it to maintain continuity and security of our main products.

Pricing can be expensive. The cost can range from fifty thousand to one hundred thousand dollars, depending on the appliance being licensed.

I would recommend FortiMail for its ease of use and a single interface for all products. However, the renewal cost is higher than that of other vendors.

Overall, I rate the solution nine out of ten.

Our main use case for FortiMail is to protect emails. It acts as a security appliance focusing on emails and securing the inbox. It checks the content of the mail itself and the links that accompany the emails most of the time.

We use FortiMail as our email security for our organization.

The price gives a good review of emails. The anti-spam functionality is good and works well.

FortiMail has some latency issues and sometimes takes time to receive emails. Text emails without URLs also take time to forward. Accessing links in received emails can take time.

I have used FortiMail for one year.

It is a stable product. That said, there is some latency.

Customer support has some delays and is not as expected. It needs improvement.

I used Cisco secure email before, which was more expensive, complicated, and harder to deploy compared to FortiMail. Fortinet is easier to deploy, troubleshoot, check the logs, and is cheaper.

There is a good return on investment between eight to nine out of ten. Deployment time is fast.

The pricing and licensing are advantageous. The price is between eight and nine.

I evaluated Cisco for email security.

Out of ten, nine points might be a very high score for this solution, however, eight is more reasonable. I'd rate the solution, therefore, eight out of ten.

The primary use case is to securely receive email from external sources, such as Microsoft Exchange on the cloud, and relay it to internal Exchange servers. Additionally, it involves sending emails from the Exchange server to external networks.

Fortinet FortiMail enhances the email security posture of organizations by securely transmitting emails between external and internal servers.

The most effective features in intercepting malicious emails include controls like DKIM and SPF. Fortinet utilizes specialized processing units, which network faster and sample more efficiently compared to others.

Additionally, the PSIRT database and threat intelligence database contribute to the effectiveness, and the number of false positives is lower than with other products.

There are multiple areas for improvement, such as user visibility, which is less compared to Cisco's secure appliances. Header inspection and containerization, like on-prem premises sandboxing, need enhancement. Improving spam ranking to match international standards is essential.

Moreover, Fortinet's position in the Gartner Magic Quadrant needs to improve, as Barracuda and other appliances are currently ahead.

I have been using Fortinet FortiMail for approximately three months.

Fortinet FortiMail is reliable and does not halt, provided that enough resources are available. The integration with Fortinet Analyzer and SIEM has been smooth, and everything is working fine.

The scalability of Fortinet FortiMail is satisfactory. Specifically, the product runs well in extreme environments, and I have not experienced any hardware failure issues.

Training support from Fortinet in our region could be more available, as partner training and support are crucial for effectively understanding and recommending solutions to customers.

Previously, I worked with Barracuda and Cisco's IronPort Email Appliance for email security.

Barracuda is less expensive compared to FortiMail. FortiMail is mid-range, and Cisco is priced higher.

There are multiple areas for improvement, like enhancing the product's user visibility and spam ranking. On-premises sandboxing should reduce false positives and strengthen its position compared to other products in the Gartner Magic Quadrant.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

I don't use the solution directly in my company. I am not configuring the devices and only know a little bit of the use cases of the tool.

The most valuable features of the solution that strengthen email security revolve around the fact that it offers great cost-effective email filtering options in a multitenant environment.

The tool does what it is supposed to do, so there is nothing I want in the tool. The product's price is an area with shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required.

I have been using Fortinet FortiMail for ten years.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight to nine out of ten.

Whether there are any plans to increase the number of users depends on the requirements of my customers. If there are additional customers wanting to use the product, then there will be a need to scale up. I integrate the tool for my customers.

The solution's technical support was not always good, so it has some scope for improvement. I rate the technical support a seven out of ten.

In other network environments, my company uses Cisco, Extreme, and Huawei. In the security segment, my company focuses on Fortinet.

I was not directly involved in the product's deployment phase. I only know the tool's features and can use it. My team did not face difficulties or complain about the tool's setup phase. I believe it worked fine.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The solution's initial deployment tool took around half a year since we had to migrate from another tool.

The solution's deployment involved six to eight people, out of which there were two engineers, one system engineer, one network engineer, and one customer manager to handle the migration process, while the rest were the operating staff members.

Compared to its competitors, Fortinet's products are available at a higher price range. The free or open source in the market can't compete with Fortinet in terms of functionalities. If one is bad and ten is a good price, I rate the tool's price as a six out of ten.

Though I wasn't directly involved in the selection of the tool in my company, I remember my company chose the tool since it did not want to divert itself with too many vendors. As Fortinet's firewall was already being used in my company, and since our service partner highly recommended Fortinet FortiMail to us, we chose it.

The product helps users handle security challenges as it offers prefiltering options and does relatively good incident reporting. The product also helps diagnose the tool's interface.

The tool's anti-spam feature was easy to use. The tool automatically checks the spam part, which is a fast process.

The tool's user interface and customizability features are fine.

My company maintains the tool for the customers. There are one to two engineers and a handful of operating people who take care of daily businesses and operational tasks.

When we go to our company's customers, we always like to offer a full stack of security tools for an environment and it is an area where we prefer Fortient.

The tool integrates with other Fortinet products in a very good manner. With open-source tools, Fortinet FortiMail's integration is good enough.

I don't know how much AI is involved in the tool.

For people with Fortinet's universe, it is a good product that they can choose, and it offers good integration features. It is also a solid feature set. If someone is on a tight budget, I won't recommend the tool to such people.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
