"The most valuable feature is the straightforward setup.""You can install the plugins on the same machine hosting your exchange solution. It's a good complement for Sophos security, which scans the traffic before it reaches your mail service. Kaspersky is on the mail server itself while Sophos handles the incoming traffic. With both of them working together, we have the perfect solution for mail.""The most valuable features are the anti-phishing and anti-spam capabilities.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is a highly reliable and dependable solution.""The integration rate is very high in Kaspersky, which is why most of our customers like it."

Cons
"Networking should be simplified.""Its GUI needs improvement.""The dashboard could use improvement.""They could look at strengthening anti-spam with the newly observed domains.""The product could be improved by extending reporting tools and adding options for notification.""The setup of the rules can be improved. I think it should be simplified and would be the best improvement in the system.""I would like to see more advanced sandbox features, where you can actually download to a machine where you can test.""Fortinet FortiMail Cloud doesn't have AI features, making it an outdated tool for me."

More Fortinet FortiMail Cloud Cons →

"It would be great if Kaspersky could do what Sophos does for us. However, we love having these two different technologies doing the same thing. Sometimes Sophos has the patch to block a novel threat, but Kaspersky doesn't.""The biggest problem in the solution is related to its license renewal since it is pretty hard in Kaspersky to find out the procedure to renew a license.""The solution is not 100 percent stable and that can use improvement.""Kaspersky lacks in the area of customization, so simpler customization options need to be provided to users.""Encrypted email attachments are not being monitored by this solution, which is an area that they need to work on."
