Find out in this report how the two Email Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The deployment capability is a great feature."
"There are several features that I consider valuable."
"It gives us visibility into threats and, for endpoints, it helps us to prioritize threats. We used to have a lack of visibility, but now our time to detect and respond has decreased."
"Defender helps us prioritize threats across our organization."
"The two main features that prove most beneficial for us are URL scanning and attachment scanning."
"Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises."
"The basic features are okay and I'm satisfied with the Defender."
"The solution is very easy to use. All you have to do is to assign the license to the end-user and it's done. The customer will only have the feature activated, and the solution will monitor the emails to determine if they are a threat or not."
"It actually filters the compromised emails when on a network layer itself."
"The GUI isn't hard to use. When we do a demo and explain the features of Fortinet products to our customers, they understand very quickly. They can easily manage their systems without us."
"The anti-spam features are valuable."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are that it protects us from spam and phishing attacks. We had a lot of attacks coming in and then we deployed this solution and they stopped. We no longer have any spam or phishing issues."
"Technical support is great. They are able to look at their patches and offer quick responses. We even have an account manager in the Middle East. They are very good."
"After implementing FortiMail, the spam, and malicious emails we receive have significantly reduced, making it much simpler to manage."
"The spam filtering is great."
"It can block a lot of fake emails."
"I like FireEye's filtering, spam digests, and its advanced threat review of email flow. It also has a broad range of riskware rules you can deploy."
"FireEye is good for malware depicting and security."
"We can control this solution from the cloud and are able to access it from wherever we are."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its simplicity. It's very user-friendly."
"The auto-remediation feature is valuable."
"The product helps reduce the number of malicious emails reaching the user's inbox."
"FireEye Email Security is easy to use."
"We have had very good results from the use of FireEye Email Security. We are very comfortable with this technology, but I don't know if it's necessary to move into the cloud, we will check other technologies and study them. Additionally, the solution has good integration."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 must improve the overall management style, including the GUI. It also needs to change the filters so that it is easy to whitelist and blacklist data."
"One area for improvement is support, in terms of being able to reach them and, especially, technical support for configuration."
"In some situations, it has not been able to pick impersonated emails having no attachments. Technical support definitely has a scope for improvement."
"There needs to be an improvement in integrating the product to work across multiple operating systems, and to have better support for non-Microsoft file types."
"In one of the reports I can get the exact place where a vulnerable file resides. But for that, I need to explicitly go into the device and check. If they could include that file part in the report, without my having to go to the device itself, that would help."
"Several simulation options are available within 365, and the phishing simulation could be better."
"The phishing and spam filters could use some improvement."
"This product's effectiveness could be improved, in terms of detecting unwanted spam or even malware between the emails, compared to other products."
"I would like it if the solution could be more affordable."
"They should add a lot of threat-intelligence feeds from different sources - not only from one source (FortiGuard)."
"Fortinet FortiMail could improve general user management. There are no password policies for users."
"It can be easier to configure or connect to the cloud to report on the attachments."
"The web console management interface could be improved."
"High Availability needs improvement."
"What's missing in Fortinet FortiMail is some sandbox information for some of the emails. It's probably configuration-based, where it could be configured on some emails. For example, there was malware in some emails that weren't detected in some of the Fortinet FortiMail sessions, but it should have been configured from my company's end to better catch scam emails, but overall, the solution is okay. At the moment, my company is okay with the current Fortinet FortiMail offerings, but in the past, because of a lack of understanding, my team wasn't able to quickly implement the geographical IP blocking feature. It was time-consuming to implement that feature, but that wasn't a fault of Fortinet FortiMail. The issue was from my team's end, but just by emailing the support team, that issue was resolved, so right now, there isn't any additional feature I'd like added to Fortinet FortiMail."
"I believe there is room for enhancement in content and web security features."
"I would like to see this solution become more flexible."
"The custom tailoring is limited."
"The solution must provide features to scan QR codes for threats."
"I would like the solution to be able to automatically quarantine the malicious emails before getting to the user's mailbox and continue with regular email operations. This could result in the user clicking the email before the purge operation is completed."
"The solution is not easy to set up. However, we have employees that have the knowledge that can do the difficult implementation. It would be better if the process was easier."
"The solution needs better support."
"In general, our company should make the tool more robust to protect our systems."
"If they want to be the primary or best solution, they need to have better email management features."
