What differentiates FortiMail from other similar products?
FortiMail is a software that differs from others because it provides the user with a line of defense in which it makes it possible to deal with both the incoming traffic and the outgoing traffic, in this way it helps not only to visualize it but also with the compliance and in turn with the prevention of threats, acts as an MTA so it guarantees a real time analysis of the email, and once it gets a threat it guarantees the elimination of the same and the recovery of the mail, in addition to its FortiGuard Labs it is a powerful feature for detecting outbreaks and major damage.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite aspect is its FortiGuard Labs is a powerful feature for detecting outbreaks and major damages this is because it gives high visibility of threats in real time, on the other hand, which helps with the detection of spam as well as phishing, Likewise, the one that not only protects against threats in the mail but also prevents mail spoofing, in addition to its ability to respond to threats such as malware, viruses, ransomware, and address targeted attacks and dangerous files is really impressive, all of which collaborates with an email free of threats.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Your protection or email scan sometimes carries non threatening emails as threats causing the quarantine release process to be somewhat late, so this leads to important information or important messages not being displayed on time, it also generates false positives so avoiding this can be a key point.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Having a good configuration of the software is important, as this guarantees that its function is totally adequate and that the business email is effectively protected, so taking this step with caution is synonymous with maximum protection.
