Since our Fortinet deployment, we are saving on average $250,000 a year in communications costs alone. Since deploying FortiMail we have seen a positive and dramatic change in the stability of our email server. FortiMail is blocking roughly 30,000 spam emails a day - that's more than ten million less junk emails a year our employees have to be bothered with.
