"Robust Email Security with Strong Threat Protection"

5/5

What do you like best about FortiMail?

FortiMail provides thorough email protection, effectively guarding against spam, phishing, malware, and impersonation threats. Its integration with FortiSandbox and FortiGuard Labs greatly improves threat detection capabilities. I also value the detailed policy controls and the seamless integration with the Fortinet Security Fabric, which offers visibility across various threat vectors.

What do you dislike about FortiMail?

Setting up the system for the first time can be challenging, particularly for teams that lack extensive experience with mail flow or the Fortinet CLI. Although the GUI offers robust features, certain areas appear dated and would benefit from enhancements to improve usability. Additionally, the reporting options could be made more flexible to better suit different needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
