Where Fortinet may be comparatively stronger:
- Consolidation: Integration with other Fortinet infrastructure could simplify operations for organizations already standardized on Fortinet components.
- Multi-channel scope: The suite addresses collaboration apps and browser channels in addition to email.
- Managed incident response offering: Inclusion of a managed response capability may reduce internal triage effort for some organizations.
Where competitors may be stronger:
- Specialized email vendors (Mimecast/Proofpoint) have longer histories focused specifically on email workflows, archiving, and continuity.
- Microsoft Defender for Office 365 may reduce third-party complexity for organizations standardized on Microsoft cloud productivity suites.
