Find out in this report how the two Cloud Email solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is very user-friendly."
"The best feature is that Amazon SES provides verified email messages."
"There is no need for me to set up security."
"We use the tool for transactional emails and marketing."
"The most valuable thing is that emails sent through SES have a delivery rate of greater than ninety percent."
"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."
"Amazon SES is very easy to configure."
"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."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to setup rules and destinations. It also helps to monitor suspicious items."
"The product's initial setup is straightforward and simple, making it an easy-to-use tool."
"The most valuable feature is the advanced threat protection."
"This solution is easy to install. The deployment takes about forty-five minutes."
"The scanners with FortiMail are valuable."
"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."
"FortiMail Cloud is very fast."
"The deployment is simple."
"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."
"I would like to see detailed reports on email success and failure rates."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the support. It's just that customer support, though good, takes time to resolve issues."
"The only issue is the price, which is far too expensive."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the scalability."
"The setup of the rules can be improved. I think it should be simplified and would be the best improvement in the system."
"Networking should be simplified."
"Its GUI needs improvement."
"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."
"This solution is slow and it should be made faster."
"I would like to see more advanced sandbox features, where you can actually download to a machine where you can test."
"I can't see the feedback to the FortiMail gateway."
"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."
