    Insider threats have been detected faster and internal data exposure is now controlled
    Regarding how Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection can be improved, sometimes the tool is slightly laggy, wherein it would take some time for us to fetch the related logs from the Mimecast portal, and that of course can be improved. There could also be a graph or a kind of a graph where, if the organization has a smaller number of employees, it is fine, but if it has a large number of employees and different departments, then in that case, Mimecast could give us an AI suggestion upon how to improvise the current security posture, how we stand and where we can go up to in terms of implementing or tweaking the policies. As the organization's size gets bigger, it would also be better if Mimecast could provide some solutions upon how to segregate the users into groups and what groups can have which policies. Those kinds of features can be added. Regarding Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection's AI capabilities, I think its governance and security could improve as I am not entirely sure how it works. It would be helpful if Mimecast could, as the AI capabilities are in place, maintain a strict governance policy upon the data that is being processed, especially for user personally identifiable information. As insider risk management sometimes also gets into the personal details of the user, organizations might be hesitant; even we are also hesitant to use the AI capabilities. If Mimecast could provide more information about how they store the data and whether the agents are local agents or cloud-hosted agents, that would be of great help for the organizations to consider its AI capabilities while adhering to the compliance needs of a particular organization.

    Data restoration is the most valuable feature.
    If I access my documents from the mobile app, I am also able to share these documents with accounts in other apps such as email, WhatsApp, Dropbox, google drive, etc. What I'd like is to be able to share a document or folder with other Mozy accounts (users), with limits of either under the same admin domains or even with other domains.

    Quotes from Members

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

    Pros

    "If you are looking for a reliable, private cloud, comprehensive endpoint backup solution CrashPlan is one of the best choices you can make!"
    "Low system overhead, setting retention policies, ease of use"
    "It has saved many users from the loss of hundreds of hours of work."
    "Customer service is awesome, they are on top of all questions and are US based."
    "Without Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection, your mail communication is not safe, and there is no one monitoring your communication."
    "Crashplan has saved my company from a great deal of data loss."
    "Numerous real world restorations on servers and laptops, central administration ensures we see who isn't backed up before they lose data."
    "Moving to a single endpoint solution greatly reduced our management time and weekly reports keep us on top of any changes or problems."
    More Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection pros
    "I was using Symantec Backup Exec, and we switched because Mozy is easier to use, and the cost is less."
    "I've had good experience with the Mac backup client running silently and keeping files backed up."
    "The data restoration feature is the most valuable because the end user requires minimum support to recover lost data."
    "The ability to kick start the service live on the users machine; I also like the graphical representations of data space."
     

    Cons

    "The application, written in Java, required far more system resources on a Client than other solutions."
    "Sometimes the tool is slightly laggy, wherein it would take some time for us to fetch the related logs from the Mimecast portal, and that of course can be improved."
    "Other than licensing issues and limited amount of data storage, but that is expected with scaling."
    "Faster."
    "Removal of the Java engine would be fantastic."
    "In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue."
    "I would like to see more flexibility on privileges, perhaps create another kind of admin for regions. Also, I would like the ability to access logs without having to be on the actual device or a super-admin."
    "It is a little confusing for users when they are replacing a laptop - a couple have wiped out their backup by choosing "adopt" before they do a restore."
    More Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection cons
    "The selection of directories and files to back up can't be managed centrally, it has to be set on each user's computer."
    "The sales support is too poor and there is no point of contact, local representatives are not in positions to assist or even provide a proposal."
    "The support staff were directed to give support on specifics and to stick to the support plan; anything out of the ordinary would be a challenge."
    "Automated client deployment was not straightforward and never worked for me."
     

    Pricing and Cost Advice

    "It is 100% worth the cost to get and keep the support, especially when setting it up."
    "It was expensive. It was more expensive than Eureka, and it was more expensive than Barracuda Backup, but what we got was a full team. They didn't come in and nickel and dime us. They provided the assistance we needed. They didn't say that they need to charge us for something or it is going to take another statement of work. It was all bundled into it... We pay for the software maintenance. It is probably 18% or 20% of the license fee for rev releases."
    "They were the best solution and surprisingly enough, the cheapest."
    "The pricing is reasonable. It's my understanding that the cost is about $7 for unlimited storage in the cloud per server."
    "It used to be a good solution for SOHO in particular as it had unlimited storage for a reasonable price. However, their pricing model has changed and they are now primarily targeting enterprise users."

    Overview

    Mimecast Incydr protects organizations against insider risk and data exfiltration, whether accidental, negligent, or malicious. It monitors endpoint, cloud, browser, and email activity to see when files move to places you don't trust, without requiring policies, proxies, or content classification to work. Administrators get a single dashboard for data flow visibility, adaptive controls ranging from education to blocking, and integrations with HR, endpoint detection, and identity systems to automate response as risk changes.

    What key features should users explore?

    • Shadow AI Visibility: Sees uploads, pastes, and prompts into GenAI tools like ChatGPT and Claude across endpoint and browser, with no policies required.
    • Adaptive Controls: Applies the right level of protection per user and scenario, from in-the-moment education (Instructor) to real-time blocking of paste, uploads, or removable media.
    • Departing Employee Monitoring: Automatically watchlists offboarding employees through HCM integrations (Workday, BambooHR, and others) the moment HR confirms departure.
    • Risk Prioritization (PRISM): Prioritizes incidents using hundreds of risk indicators based on data sensitivity, user behavior, and destination.
    • Block by Source/Destination: Blocks sensitive data (source code, financial systems, HR data) from reaching unsanctioned destinations, without writing regex-based policies.

    What benefits can impact ROI?

    • Faster Investigation: Reduces time to investigate high-risk incidents by 50%, verified by Forrester Total Economic Impact (TEI) research.
    • Low Administrative Overhead: Half of customers spend less than 4 hours a week on administration, without dedicated headcount.
    • Proven Return: 172% ROI and under 6-month payback, independently verified by Forrester TEI.
    • Automated Offboarding Security: HCM integrations remove manual handoffs between HR and security during the highest-risk period of employment.
    • Reduced Tool Sprawl: Combines DLP, CASB, and UEBA-style visibility in a single lightweight endpoint agent.

    Industries and use cases

    Mimecast Incydr is used across industries to address insider risk, departing employee data theft, and shadow AI exposure. Enterprises use it to monitor data movement across endpoint, cloud, and browser channels, automate watchlisting during employee offboarding, and gain visibility into how employees and AI tools interact with sensitive data, supporting both security operations and compliance requirements in regulated industries.
