Powerful inbound and outbound threat filter
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates FortiMail from other similar products?
This software differs from others because it provides the user with all the advanced security capabilities that are compatible with the email security gateway products, so that companies are able to keep their emails free from threats, account With a very straightforward and simple implementation and configuration, it offers built in, out of the box email security and data leak policy templates, as well as comes with regulatory compliance templates to ensure sensitive data is handled correctly It is also capable of detecting malware, viruses and ransomware.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
What I like most about this software is that it provides an extremely flexible implementation that allows the user to decide how they want to implement their service, whether it is hosted in the cloud or as a virtual and physical device, which has the ability to help prevent, detect, and respond to email based threats such as spam, phishing, malware, ransomware, zero day threats, phishing, and email compromise attacks; this is because it has a multi layered approach to email security, in addition to detecting suspicious email, it prevents it from reaching the recipient, thus preventing said attack from being successful.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It is not possible to view the bulk email folder immediately and completely, because for this it is necessary to update it manually, this can take time, also sometimes it tends to take emails as spam when they do not imply any threat .
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
A software that has all the capabilities for the protection of business email, so giving it a try implies saying goodbye to these threats that usually invade emails, regardless of whether they are incoming or outgoing threats, as well as their integration with other Fortinet software makes it more powerful software.
