Curious how these compare? Are both versions being widely used? Thanks in advance,

    They work about the same and no on the last question but a lot of org are moving to cloud protection.  It has various subscription levels and is geared for org that has or do not want to use a dedicate email-admin ( i.e medium to sml-biz )

     

    Keep in mind fortimailcloud is very much more new than the on premise mail ESA concept. So give it some time.

    Not so fast @emnoc, there are some misconceptions here:

     

    >Are both versions being widely used?  No

    This is not correct any longer.  Over 25% of our deployments per quarter and growing are cloud based.  FortiMail Cloud is fast becoming one of the main deployment methods.

     

    >it is geared for org that has or do not want to use a dedicate email-admin ( i.e medium to sml-biz )

    It certainly suits such organisations but is definitely not limited to that.  We have a large number of MSSP and large enterprise (>10K mailbox) deployments.
