A reasonably priced solution suitable for small to medium enterprises
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The user quarantine feature in the solution is good. Not all the solutions have user quarantine features since they mostly have system quarantine features. The integration with Active Directory is great. The solution's antispam is really very efficient, especially the greylisting. Recently, the protection against impersonation is doing a great job.
What needs improvement?
The solution lacks to provide more visibility when there is a problem, and it needs to be tracked. The solution should provide users with more visibility so that they can track a problem.
For how long have I used the solution?
It has been only a very short time since I started using Fortinet FortiMail. I use it for my company and for our customers. My company has a partnership with Fortinet.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Regarding scalability, we did not receive any case where we had to expand. I recommend the solution to businesses that range from small to medium, including those who do not have a very large environment. It is possible to scale it more since we have one enterprise where it is deployed at a large scale.
How are customer service and support?
Fortinet's technical support is great. Usually, we do the first level of support. And when there is a really difficult problem, we raise tickets, and they are very good at handling such problems. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
It is easy to deploy.
Regarding the time taken for deployment, If it is in gateway mode, then it will not take more than two to three hours. If such necessities are not there in place, it will take more time.
What about the implementation team?
We do the implementation. Also, we provide professional services since we sell the product with professional services.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is reasonable, and this is why small to medium enterprises are adopting it. Price-wise, the solution is not far from Microsoft ATP. So, it is affordable.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
What other advice do I have?
In fact, some vendors tried to work with us, but we found Fortinet to be very good.
Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Provides virus outbreak prevention and FortiSandbox integration
What is our primary use case?
I have one deployment, which is a service provider, so it's working in a multi-tenancy environment. At least ten customers are being handled by this multi-tenant Fortinet FortiMail. We use Fortinet FortiMail mainly for incoming messages and also as a server.
How has it helped my organization?
In the first presentation we did, we were able to demonstrate to our client that 98.2% of the emails they received were spam emails. Furthermore, out of the spam emails, around 2,000 messages were found to contain viruses. Fortinet FortiMail was able to block these 2,000 virus-infected messages that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. Since we use Fortinet FortiMail as a multi-tenant environment in our cloud, we also save our customers' bandwidth as the spam emails are not downloaded.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiMail are its virus outbreak prevention and FortiSandbox integration.
What needs improvement?
Fortinet FortiMail should allow more flexibility with the content rules. FortiMail does not allow users to use the content itself as a matching policy attribute. This limits the flexibility of policy configuration, and we have to adapt by using specific sources to apply specific content filtering.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Fortinet FortiMail for the past seven to eight years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Fortinet FortiMail a nine out of ten for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate Fortinet FortiMail an eight out of ten for scalability. We are expanding our customer base with Fortinet FortiMail because security is now perceived as an investment in Brazil.
How was the initial setup?
Fortinet FortiMail's deployment is straightforward. It's not like plug-and-play, but if you use the default configuration, you can enable very strict security without digging into the configurations.
What was our ROI?
Since we started offering the anti-spam with FortiMail as a service, we have moved from OpEx to CapEx.
What other advice do I have?
I am using the latest version of Fortinet FortiMail. Users need to understand the SMTP standards to configure Fortinet FortiMail properly. If you make mistakes in the configuration, you may allow users on the internet to use your email as an MTA. This was the mistake committed by one of our customers who tried to deploy the solution himself without proper knowledge. You must have some knowledge about the solution so you can internally configure it.
Overall, I rate Fortinet FortiMail an eight out of ten.
