Expensive, but you get what you pay for! It's been great.
What do you like best about the product?
We haven't had a successful intrusion in a few years since going with Mimecast. We get threat reports and can see who is being targeted and who is sending the emails to them. The interface is nice and the outlook plugin is clean. There is a "held" mail that you can review before releasing which is a very useful feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is the only drawback; implementation can be a bit of a challenge as well. Initial setup is guided far more than if you add on features later. We found we paid for something we didn't end up implementing for quite some time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spam, Phishing, and Ransomware attempts have been thwarted. You realize just how much your staff would click on (or have clicked on historically).
Mimecast provides the granularity of control we need.
What do you like best about the product?
The effective granularity of control allows us to craft policies that fit our organizational needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish there was API integration to O365. Several other solutions we looked at provide the integration with O365 allowing more administrative control over Exchange Online.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to effectively protect our employees from inbound email threats. Mimecast allows our users to self manage their held email which relieves pressure from IT staff.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a close look at the customization of rule creation available in Mimecast. I'm confident you'll find a highly effective product that allows organizations to craft a policy set that fits their needs.
reliable and thorough
What do you like best about the product?
Web portal and app access make it available everywhere. Seems to be very thorough
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve of administration after the initial setup is sharp. Took a long time to get used to the general workflow and location of things in Mimecast admin portal
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spam and spoofing attacks. The security settings have really helped minimize the amount that used to slip through to our users.
Love Mimecast Security
What do you like best about the product?
Blocks the bad things and keeps the good. Easy to use and when I have questions, support is more than happy to help.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes good gets blocked, but thats okay and is part of the security game.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spam, Malicious content. There is alot out there is what I realize and without Mimecast, we wouldn't be able to be as secure
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get it. You wont know how you lived without it. You are not secure unless you have Mimecast as part of your Company Security.
Mimecast is easy to use, I don't receive 100's of bogus emails and I can release what I want.
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to go back for years and search through both received and sent emails to find something I need.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't like have to go to my browser and login in all the time but Outlook Integration resolved that issue!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I feel pretty secure that Mimecast filters hundreds of threats in emails that I don't ever have to see.
Minecast has been a solid email security platform for us
What do you like best about the product?
There support is very responsive and knowledgeable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not a big fan of the layout of the admin console. It can be a little challenging to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It adds a protection layer to our network environment that I wasn't getting through Microsoft. The ease of maintenance and security piece of mind are best.
Mimecast Email Security
What do you like best about the product?
On Hold Messages available to review at a later date if need be. Outlook Plugin to instantly Block Senders you don't want to receive messages from. Online access to email in the event our Exchange Server went down.
What do you dislike about the product?
It offers impersonation attack, yet they continue to slip through.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Impersonation emails slip through. Benefits are significantly less spam, and ability to easily Block Sender using the Outloook plug-in.
Mimecast
What do you like best about the product?
Simply out, Mimecast rocks! We have been using Mimecast for several years now and it has stopped countless threats. We switched to Mimecast from Proofpoint and the difference between the two is night and day. Mimecast is a feature rich platform that provides everything we need to stop e-mail based threats. The URL protection is worth the price alone and also offers a bit of user training. It virtually eliminates junk mail from reaching our inboxes. The held e-mail digest is easy to use for end users. The Mimecast platform is HIGHLY configurable and integrates well with o365. They have made many improvements to various parts of the interface over the years which have made management much more streamlined.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mimecast is not cheap. I have not compared it to other offerings in a couple of years but it costs more than we were paying for our previous solution. The platform offers a lot of configuration options and this can be difficult to navigate at times. Thankfully their tech support resources are very comprehensive. I can find step by step instruction for almost every task in the interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bottom line, we use Mimecast to mitigate risks in e-mail messages. The platform goes above and beyond what you would generally expect from a security vendor. I can only imagine the issues we would have faced without this service.
One of our most valuable tools to combat cyber crime
What do you like best about the product?
I like the depth of features for keeping our email system secure. Targeted Threat Protection and Impersonation Protection are two examples.
What do you dislike about the product?
The management console has improved over the years but still requires a good deal of learning. I don't know if it could be made any easier though. I would also like to see events logged in my time zone, everything is logged ET.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We feel Mimecast solves most if not all email born security threats. This keeps us focused on work instead of combating viruses, malware, ransomware, phishing, and impersonation attempts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I know I have the top email protection as every competitor compares themselves to Mimecast
Mimecast is really one of the most full featured Email protection platforms around.
What do you like best about the product?
The configuration ability. The system is very configurable and support is there to help
What do you dislike about the product?
At first when we started the configuration was intimidating. I didn't know what I didn't know.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lots of spam email. DKIM outgoing (not offered with Exchange on prem).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it. Once you learn it the platform is POWERFUL.
