How Does FortiMail Compare To FortiMail Cloud?

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.
