Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable thing is that emails sent through SES have a delivery rate of greater than ninety percent.""We use the tool for transactional emails and marketing.""There is no need for me to set up security.""Amazon SES can handle a high volume of emails, making it suitable for organizations with large email lists or that need to send a large number of emails on a regular basis.""The best feature is that Amazon SES provides verified email messages.""The product is very user-friendly.""Amazon SES is very easy to configure.""It is highly available and scalable. It is also highly reliable. I don't lose any of the messages or emails. If there is an issue where the email sent operation failed, Amazon as a platform ensures that the send operation is retried, and the email reaches its destination. This way, it is highly reliable."

"It has the best feature for processed mail analysis.""The encryption features are most valuable to us.""This is a solid email monitoring and security system that learns and maintains a two-way dialog with email system administrators.""This solution is easy to install. The deployment takes about forty-five minutes.""If there is a problem somewhere Fortinet can act on it immediately. That is very important.""The product's initial setup is straightforward and simple, making it an easy-to-use tool.""The deployment is simple.""The most valuable features are email ATB and Malware Analysis."

Cons
"There is room for improvement in the support. It's just that customer support, though good, takes time to resolve issues.""Email service is definitely a requirement from an enterprise standpoint. Many organizations have their own on-premise email services, which take a lot of memory, backup, and other resources. If we can have a completely managed backup solution where we have a tiered backup or a tiered archival to be able to retrieve emails, it would be great. I would like to be able to retrieve emails in real-time (hot retrieval), over the 90-days period (warm retrieval), and over the one-year period (cold retrieval). It would be useful to have tiered backup and retrieval. It would help us in managing emails better and have a better backup solution. So, backup is something that we require.""It would be ideal to have detailed data and reporting on email opens, clicks, bounces, and other metrics, as well as integration with other business intelligence tools.""The product should improve technical support.""When we first set up an email on Amazon SES, they had to verify it, which was not fast enough.""The only issue is the price, which is far too expensive.""I would like to see detailed reports on email success and failure rates.""There is room for improvement in the scalability."

More Amazon WorkMail Cons →

"Its GUI needs improvement.""The URL filtering and handling should be enhanced because it doesn't support all languages. I believe that this would be easy to enhance in the future.""The product could be improved by extending reporting tools and adding options for notification.""This ease of use and user-friendliness is something we believe could be improved in FortiMail.""Networking should be simplified.""The downside of this solution is that it is difficult to implement policies on FortiMail.""This solution is slow and it should be made faster.""They could look at strengthening anti-spam with the newly observed domains."
