Featured Reviews

Advanced email filtering has blocked massive spam volumes and prevents unauthorized data leaks
Improvements for Mimecast Advanced Email Security include enhancing the user interface and accessibility, particularly regarding admin capabilities to add or modify user accounts. Streamlining this could improve overall usability and security management for users. Reporting is another area needing improvement in Mimecast Advanced Email Security, as the reports provided are not very easy to decipher. With artificial intelligence being integrated into various tools including Mimecast Advanced Email Security, I believe there is potential to enhance functionality, enabling users to ask specific questions and retrieve concise answers instead of overwhelming data. I choose a nine for Mimecast Advanced Email Security because improvements such as better user interface and artificial intelligence integration features would greatly enhance its usability. While no tool is perfect, these adjustments could greatly elevate Mimecast Advanced Email Security's capabilities.

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

"Due to our specialized use case, that HIPAA dictionary really comes in handy."
"I have been satisfied with Mimecast Email Security as a good solution."
"It's good, it keeps the spam out."
"The solution is stable and reliable; there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"Mimecast Advanced Email Security has positively impacted our organization by securing our environment better than before compared to what we used to configure earlier to deliver the email."
"In terms of efficacy, Proofpoint is better than Mimecast, though it's a little difficult to manage."
"In the current environment that the world is in, everyone is trying to hack everyone else, so Project+ definitely helps a lot there."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"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

"They should improve the cookies management feature."
"The solution should include more AI features instead of Mimecast's more general static configuration tooling."
"The price of the solution is expensive. It can improve by reducing the price."
"Their support should be improved. They are notorious for sending you to knowledge-based articles rather than actually talking to you, but that is, unfortunately, kind of becoming a trend with everything. In terms of features, I haven't had any complaints. However, I don't like the fact they moved to a paid training subscription model. They used to have a lot of free webinars for training, but they have started to charge for them in the past year."
"Mimecast need to ensure that the body text format is correctly handled and that images are properly embedded in the body text."
"I don't think it's ideally suited for maybe a smaller business environment, like, for example, for companies with less than 100 seats."
"The detection rates are an area for improvement."
"The feature that should be included is to remove the block on the encrypted files."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Mimecast Mailbox Continuity is expensive."
"Compared to the other products in the market, it is neither cheap but nor very expensive. I would rate it somewhere in the middle, 5 out of 10."
"I'm always going to say the price needs to be lower, but it's reasonable."
"The product has good pricing in terms of return on investment."
"The product price is moderate. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"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 licensing costs are per-user for the product that you get with them."
"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."
