The solution is primarily for mail security.

We use it primarily for incoming and outgoing emails. We also use other products which are quite new for us. We just invested in GFI, and we use it also for the incoming email traffic to check with more antivirus monitoring.

Sachin Vinay - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Administrator at Amrita

Our primary use case for this solution is securing mail releases, as it serves as our central server. For example, multiple domains have multiple mail services. To authenticate the request coming from the mail service, we require security to implement Fortinet FortiMail and establish the mail request. All domains are added to Fortinet FortiMail, and the primary protection for all domains is done with Fortinet FortiMail. We deploy the solution on a private cloud.

Furqan Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Engineer at Pronet

It is an email security solution used to protect the email from spam, phishing, and URL redirection attacks. I used to place Fortinet FortiMail just after their internet server. So they create multi-layered architecture to protect their servers, their users, or SMTP servers from spam emails. One of the users is only using Fortinet FortiMail to relay the outbound email because he is facing some issues. The mailbox they have is not able to send bulk emails, for example, at the bank, they used to send bulk emails regarding some offers or advertisements. The SMTP server must be expandable email.

We use Fortinet FortiMail for our email gateway. It's an anti-spam. It secures emails from all anti-spam emails, as well as Malware, which is an email from phishing attacks, from whatever Malware is in the email, that are sent to the company as well as outbound emails. 

We are using InPost to secure both inbound and outbound emails. As a result, no one, not even from within the company, can send an anti-spam message to the outside world.

Ahmet Coruk - PeerSpot reviewer
Co-founder at Korunet

We are an integrator company, so we are installing to these products, the different customers.  We explain Fortinet solutions to our customers, and if they want, we can do a proof of concept for one month or so. Then, if they are happy and want to move forward, we will install it on their site. After that, we provide support for one to three years, depending on the contract. I did the POC of FortiMail for three big companies, and later they had no budget because they ran into a cash flow problem, and we ended up just waiting. Still, we are contacting our customers and trying to sell the Fortinet product FortiMail.

We have implemented this solution in our VMware environment to host our own mail domain. So when the mails come in, we use the security profile and all the features of the FortiMail very efficiently - all the blacklists, safe lists, block lists, and other securities that are there to change and contain. We use spamming and content filtering and attachment filtering.
