Email Security Engineer at Logic Infosecurity
Experience high detection and user-friendly policies with reliable email security implementation
The system is not user-friendly because you have to create policies that are mapped in a dictionary. As an IT engineer, I understand how it works, but explaining it to another IT person can be difficult. Having more user-friendly dashboards would improve the work experience. In Mimecast Email Security, checking policies in the dictionary or gateway is very complicated, and not everyone understands this process. If you examine the Check Point portal, it's user-friendly with easily accessible tabs that anyone can explore. With Mimecast Email Security, making changes might impact existing mailboxes. The portal is complicated compared to Check Point's user-friendly interface.

Archives emails and files, providing indexes for searching the archives
The tool has had some scalability issues, but now that it's offered as a cloud service, it's easier to manage. However, setting it up isn't as straightforward as it used to be, and there may be limitations with the support provided during setup and testing. Also, the quality of support has declined in the past year.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We're now certain business-critical mail is perfectly protected in multiple ways."
"The product is good; to date, we have not faced any challenges."
"The piece that is most valuable from the Mimecast standpoint will be the sandboxing feature."
"It is our spam filter, phishing filter, and executive impersonation filter."
"The product is good. To date, we have not faced any challenges."
"Based on overall experience, Mimecast Email Security is the best solution for traditional gateways."
"The interface of this solution is very easy to navigate and user-friendly. There is no delivery in email and other communications, making it reliable. The configuration is relatively easy."
"If I had to mention one or two things that bring the biggest benefit, I would say the security of the emails and dealing with everything."
"Everything is in one console, including the security and managing the data there, such as mailboxes, email, et cetera - everything."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The tool streamlines data discovery processes for compliance by setting up a gateway to copy every incoming and outgoing email to the archive independently of the mailbox. This ensures that even if a user deletes their mailbox, the emails are still available in the archive, making it a compliant solution for monitoring all incoming and outgoing emails. Additionally, it offers the ability to place legal holds on important emails."
 

Cons

"From an administrative point of view, Mimecast is a little bit cumbersome and difficult."
"They should improve the cookies management feature."
"The price could be better, it should be reduced."
"We discussed the phishing aspect, the DNS system, and the key rotation."
"The detection rates are an area for improvement."
"Technical support has been slower than it was in the past, likely due to the pandemic."
"The feature that should be included is to remove the block on the encrypted files."
"Mimecast Email Security is somewhat expensive compared to the competition in the Indian market, and the local presence is lacking as they do not have a local representative currently."
"Technical support could be better."
"The tool has had some scalability issues, but now that it's offered as a cloud service, it's easier to manage. However, setting it up isn't as straightforward as it used to be, and there may be limitations with the support provided during setup and testing. Also, the quality of support has declined in the past year."
"Technical support could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is in the middle range. It is a structured licensing model where there are various components that you can add or choose to add or not."
"The customers can select the license packages as per their requirements."
"The price of Mimecast Mailbox Continuity is expensive."
"The licensing costs are per-user for the product that you get with them."
"The product price is moderate. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a ten."
"For what it is, the product is overpriced."
"Two subscription options are currently offered: monthly and yearly. My suggestion is to opt for the yearly subscription as it can give some discount. The pricing isn't high as other cloud solutions are pricier than Microsoft's offerings."
"The tool is expensive, and I rate its price as eight out of ten. It might not be very expensive. However, comparing it with something that's free or already included in the price is challenging, like the Office 365 archive mailbox. Previously, this was part of the subscription price. Now, it's an additional cost, typically covered by departments like legal or compliance rather than IT."
