Likelihood to Recommend
FortiMail is a very flexible solution easy to install and use, any organization can use it whenever they require a virtual, physical, or cloud instance. Also, it is great to have an email archiver out of the box, you do not need any external product for it. The only thing that organizations need to consider before purchasing is service bundles - with the additional cost you can get Content Disarm and Reconstruction, URL click protection, Cloud Sandboxing, etc. (included in Enterprise Advanced Threat
Protection Bundle).

In a medium company, it is suited since the cost can be high for a smaller one.
I think there are better and more complete products for companies with higher volume or levels of confidentiality. While it is a good product, today there are several that exceed it in quality and functionality.

  • By having the physical appliance, it is more granular the control that is had of the users, which also accelerates the speed of detection of threats.
  • The few options of DLP that it has are very useful when filtering sensitive data, but I stress "few".
  • The interface is intuitive, but for more advanced options, it requires a higher than average knowledge of these systems.

Cons
  • I would like to see a recommended config come base on the box.
  • I would like to see a secure score type area.

  • I know it is not a DLP since there is another specific product for it, but they could do it just a little easier for the average user.
  • An intuitive interface in a broader aspect, not only in the basic functions.
  • The option only in the cloud is good, but only the appliance offers all the functionalities.

Any time I've had to use the support, it has been great! They always will recommend certain options, as well as explain what they do and why they are there. The support always gets back to me the same day, and are always pleasant to deal with. I never hesitate to call.

I have used Barracuda Email Security in the past and FortiMail is just as effective. The interface is easy to use, and the configuration is straightforward in setting it up to work with Microsoft Exchange. Spam detection is effective, as well as malware/viruses and phishing attempts. Overall it is a great service.

Unfortunately all these products are better in almost all aspects. It is not to discredit the Trustwave, but they have much to improve in this area.

  • While it is a good product, today there are several that exceed it in quality and functionality.
  • In a medium company it is correct, since the cost can be high for a smaller one and it is not worth it.
  • It is a basic product, compared to others of the same type
