The solution is easy to use and easy to configure. It has a very high level of security through special licensing with solutions like FortiGuard, sandboxing solutions in the cloud, and URL rewriting solutions. They are very helpful and secure.

We can install FortiMail products in two different types of installations. One is the security gateway, the inner gateway, and the other is the enterprise mail server. But we never used this product as an enterprise mail server, only a security gateway.

The logging information is sometimes not clear or easy to understand. When the product drops or rejects an email, it is hard to understand what was the original reason why this email was blocked. The logging and the troubleshooting have to improve.

The Forti solutions are not easy to use. We can learn how to use them, but they are not easy. Suppose you must deal with different types of Fortinet products, such as FortiMail, FortiGate, and FortiAuthenticator. In that case, you have to use many different types of troubleshooting, such as through CLI commands and parameters, and it's not too easy to know those off the top of your head.

I've worked with Fortinet FortiMail for four or five years.

I rate FortiMail's stability a ten out of ten.

I rate FortiMail's scalability a nine out of ten. My clients are typically medium to enterprise-sized businesses. Enterprise and medium businesses are not the same from a Fortinet point of view. Especially here in Hungary, which is a little country. When we consider a company enterprise-sized, it might be considered a medium-sized company in the international environment.

I like Fortinet's technical support. But it could always be better.

I rate the initial setup a nine out of ten.

If there is only one gateway in the environment and it's the first deployment, it's easy. However, the initial setup can be difficult if you have to integrate and migrate from different products or solutions.

It took about a week to deploy the solution. But it depends on the difficulty of the environment. Sometimes, we must migrate policies, rules, and other configuration parts from different old mail gateways, such as Symantec Brightmail. And it's not too easy to configure all of the parameters exactly in the new environment.

FortiMail is not cheap. The basic license is not bad, but the high level of solutions is not cheap. Our customers like the basic license but find it too expensive to buy detailed technical solutions.

I rate Fortinet FortiMail a nine out of ten.

We use the tool as a gateway security solution.

Fortinet FortiMail is a complete product addressing mail security concerns. It helps to know spam subscriptions and create restriction policies.

The security products stop their operations once the subscription period expires. It is a wrong policy. If I trust a product, it has to continue working even after expiry. It should have a grace period of 30, 40, or 60 days. We can extend the subscription during those days. In some places, subscription extensions can take up to six weeks. During the renewal process, the support offered by the company is very poor. It also reduces security. We pay for the expired period but do not get protection during those times. The user of Fortinet FortiMail should have a feature to see spam names.

I have been using the solution for 15 years.

The solution is stable except for the downtime due to the subscription extension.

Scalability is poor for tools that are clubbed with hardware.

The tool's vendor support is poor.

A person setting up the tool must have the technology and domain experience. The preliminary deployment can happen within three to six hours. The tool's fine-tuning happens over one to two weeks.

I rate the product an eight out of ten.

We use this solution to put the server on the FortiMail server. Users acquire a domain, and use emails from the the FortiMail server.

The solution has a user-friendly interface. It is easy to deploy and handle. You can easily troubleshoot the issues of the solution.

The product should work on licensing and provide more detail once the license is selected for the customer.

I have been using Fortinet FortiMail since last month. We are a partner of Fortinet.

Fortinet Fortimail is a very stable product. I have compared it with Barracuda devices, and they filter mail servers. Customers prefer Barracuda, but I propose the FortiMail server. Barracuda is expensive compared to FortiMail. I ensure support to customers during the deployment times if they go with Fortinet.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

Support is very good. They provide timely support to the customer.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I have used Barracuda but it is more expensive than FortiMail.

The solution’s initial setup is configurable and easy to manage and handle.

Fortinet Fortimail has reasonable pricing.

FortiMail is easy to integrate, deploy and troubleshoot the issue. I always recommend it to the customer.

We have an on-premises email server. Before FortiMail, we received a lot of spam and malicious emails, causing inconvenience for our users. After implementing FortiMail, it significantly reduced and improved our security.

Previously, when users received malicious emails, they would engage the IT department and ask for details about the emails they received. It consumed time and resources for IT management. With the implementation of FortiMail, these types of queries have been greatly reduced.

With the implementation of FortiMail, our spamming was reduced, and junk mail was minimized.

The key features that I find valuable are the ones related to securing our email server. After implementing FortiMail, the spam, and malicious emails we receive have significantly reduced, making it much simpler to manage. So it has made email server management much simpler.

FortiMail offers a user-friendly GUI interface, which makes it easy for administrators to browse and use. The interface is designed well, and it simplifies the administration.

I believe there is room for enhancement in the content security and web security features. These two aspects can be further developed to improve the overall scalability of the solution.

We have been using this solution for one year. One year ago, we implemented it. It's the FortiMail version, not the cloud version. It's an on-premises, hardware-based appliance.

With one and a half years of experience implementing it, I can say it's not unstable. I think it's up to the mark, so we rate it at nine, indicating high stability.

I would rate the scalability at seven. While FortiMail offers good security, there are areas where improvements can be made, particularly in content security and web security features.

I believe there is room for enhancement in the content security and web security features. These two aspects can be further developed to improve the overall scalability of the solution. We have more than 400 email users utilizing Fortinet FortiMail.

FortiMail handles email monitoring around the clock. It's a big version 24, and it's used over email traffic. We always monitor FortiMail over emails 24/7. All our emails go through FortiMail.

We are using it with 400 email boxes. In the future, we may increase it by 50 more users, and FortiMail is compatible with that. It meets our requirements, and there's no need to increase anything.

Over the past year and a half, we encountered an issue with our website. There was a malicious script on our website that disrupted our email service. FortiMail scans our emails, but due to the malicious script on our website and the same domain, we were unable to receive emails on Gmail.

The reason behind the email blocking was Fortinet FortiMail, which detected the malicious script on our website. We reported the issue to Fortinet, and Fortinet resolved it within an hour. Fortinet's support was excellent, and we would rate it nine out of ten. It was a pretty good support.

It's not very difficult. It's quite easy with GUI. Within a short span of time, you can easily configure the firewall and FortiMail and integrate them. It's not a big deal. I would rate it as eight.

We received it in December, and within one month, we tested it. After some time, we went live with Fortinet, which took around seven days. So, the deployment process took about five to six weeks.

We implemented it with the support of our distributor. Two technical persons were involved in the deployment process. We deployed the solution with our network administrator with the coordination of our distributor and technical team. They handled the deployment within four to six weeks.

The solution does require maintenance. Routine maintenance is necessary to implement and tighten security policies, especially for handling malicious emails and bypasses in the email solution. You need to stay vigilant and conduct regular searches to identify and respond to potential threats even after implementing FortiMail. Monitoring and maintenance are ongoing processes.

Generally, only one person is needed to handle maintenance tasks. This individual should possess the necessary skills to manage the email server, FortiMail gateway, and firewall. Additionally, they may be responsible for network maintenance as well.

In our case, the person responsible for maintenance is our network administrator. They work in coordination with our distributor and technical team to ensure the smooth operation of FortiMail. This person oversees various aspects of network maintenance.

There is definitely an ROI. If we calculate the return on investment and consider the time and effort saved from dealing with spam and email glitches, we feel more comfortable and receive safer emails. Overall, it has been a positive experience.

The solution is quite pricey compared to other competitors in the market. Due to Fortinet's reliability and quality service, Fortinet offers a high cost. We rate it around seven. So, it's pretty pricey.

ur licensing costs for FortiMail are quite high, especially with the currency exchange rates in Pakistan. The costs keep increasing day by day, and we are concerned about it. There are no additional costs. We only pay for the maintenance.

FortiMail is already working on enhancing its next-generation terminology, and there is always room for improvement in various aspects. Fortinet continuously strives to improve its solutions.

I believe they are on the right track with the GUI interface. Overall, I think they are doing a good job. We also prioritize securing our email server against future threats, as I mentioned earlier, by proactively safeguarding it from any potential security vulnerabilities or malicious activities.

Fortinet FortiMail has adopted a GUI interface and made improvements in several areas. I think they will continue to provide routine updates and enhance the email server security further. We have integrated FortiMail with our firewall, which is also from Fortinet, and we didn't face any issues during the integration process.

I believe Fortinet is leading the industry by following international standards and incorporating the necessary features to secure users from future threats. They should continue adding more security features where needed.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

The tool needs to improve its pricing policy. Also, it needs to be more user-friendly. I would want it to improve email security as well.

I have been using the solution for two years.

I would rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten.

I would rate the solution's scalability an eight out of ten.

The support takes one to two days to respond.

The tool's distributor supported us with the deployment. The solution's deployment took around one day to complete.

You need to pay additional fees for premium support.

I would rate the tool a nine out of ten. This solution is good for small and medium enterprise companies.
