Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The deployment is simple.""Content disarming and analysis are essential features in our email security setup""The implementation was very professional. There are a lot of features I can get through Fortinet and FortiMail, such as security. FortiGuard is the most reliable and professional mitigation center to handle incidents and risk that I have to face.""This is a solid email monitoring and security system that learns and maintains a two-way dialog with email system administrators.""The most valuable features are email ATB and Malware Analysis.""This solution is easy to install. The deployment takes about forty-five minutes.""The product's initial setup is straightforward and simple, making it an easy-to-use tool.""The encryption features are most valuable to us."

Cons
"Its GUI needs improvement.""I can't see the feedback to the FortiMail gateway.""This ease of use and user-friendliness is something we believe could be improved in FortiMail.""The tool's UI can be simple since it's cluttered now and you can't understand where you are going. It's not obvious to find out the menus or things that you are looking to find.""The product could be improved by extending reporting tools and adding options for notification.""This solution is slow and it should be made faster.""I've not been able to use more than two domains in the back end. I like to view logs for the different domains. If I add any other domain I'm not able to get a proper cPanel for that domain. I am talking about the login factors. I'm not able to see logs for different domains in a different Window. Basically, it's an issue in the login process.""The setup of the rules can be improved. I think it should be simplified and would be the best improvement in the system."

More Fortinet FortiMail Cloud Cons →

"Support should be improved. Most of the time, the queries are not resolved within the SLA.""I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications.""The tool's configuration capabilities are not straightforward. Apart from that, if I want to archive emails into a vault so that they can be retrieved again later, the integration doesn't work, and IceWarp crashes.""Although it is not a tool, video conferencing should be scalable and operate in a professional and efficient way.""The solution should improve the mailing list feature. Google has a similar feature where you can automate sending files to different people in a sequence, but that feature is no longer available in the current version of IceWarp. Other features may also have been removed in the current version.""The exchange compatibility mode is rather limited. Their technical support can also be better. They only provide online support, and there should be some option for escalating.""It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details.""With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome."
