Seemless implemenation and Powerful Product
What do you like best about the product?
With the guided help of an implemenation engineer, Mimecast Advanced Email Security was hassle free to implement along side of O365. The product has a seemingly endless array of products and services all of which work just as well as the next. Mimecast enabled us to remove our old non-functional email security product taking us to a new strength of email security.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't really much to dislike about the product. It's simple to operate even for a non IT user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mimecast is providing cutting edge email security for the business. Previously with other used products, we never felt comfortable that our email security was 100% and we always felt vulnerable. Now, we know that we are protected as best we can using Mimecast.
Core products are great!
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity, administration and user interface. Customer support is always positive with the sucess team and technical areas. The system is used daily by the support desk as well as our infrastrucutre team - and of course our users. Search capability is great, reducing cache in outlook. Secure Send and Large File attachments are great features too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall the product is great. Cybergraph and Missaddressed email can be hit and miss and needs more investment to fine tune missaddressed email. If it's not improved over the next 12 months or so, we may look at removing this service for another provider.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reducing the spam and phishing attempts signifiacntly, malcious content are stripped out.
Mimecast Advanced Email Security Hands-On Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like the granularity and control you can have via the many definitions and policies that are possible. Policies are generally easy to implement themselves and the documentation and tools tips are very useful. Mimecast offer a quarterly health check to ensure that the config still meets best practices and to advise if any new features have been released since the last review. Support from the customer success manager is great and also when logging tickets with main support team, I have always found responses to be insightful and not simply, just read this KB (though of course, KBs are referenced).
What do you dislike about the product?
Whilst there are many different policies that can be implemented, it can be tricky to know which ones you maybe should be implementing and those which are more niche. Perhaps filtering them in this kind of way would be useful. I know policies will differ between companies, but I suspect most would at least want a consistent best practice baseline to begin with and then tweak as they move forward. Additionally, whilst you can give policies a "narrative" to define what that policy is for, I would like to see a description field to be able to write more information. For example, you can have bypass rules for specific IPs, but its not easy to document whose IPs those are, so you end up with potentially multiple IP bypass rules so you can name each one, whereas if there was a description field, you could possible have just a single IP bypass rule.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We receive many spam related emails which Mimecast does a great job of holding back from the user. It also does a great job with its impersonation protection and spoof detection to block many malicious emails, however, it does currently suffer from comprimised email detection, where if the comprimised email does not send links or attachments but maybe just a request to switch communication platforms (i.e. move to WhatsApp), it can be difficult to block. Keywords / phrases can be configured, but that is all based on guessing what an email may contain. I believe Mimecast are working on a solution to this moving forward.
The Tortoise Eventually Wins
What do you like best about the product?
The great thing about Mimecast Advanced Email Security is that it works. Virus screening, spam screening, targeted threat protection and even phishing awareness - all of this works, with a relatively control panel that is easy to use. Implementation is relatively simple, as is integration with our on-premise Exchange server.
What do you dislike about the product?
The performance can be somewhat lacking, and over the past year or so, Mimecast have faced a number of issues outside of their control. Spam activity from customers who are sending out bulk mail have resulted in our own emails being rejected by spam-blacklists, but Mimecast customer support have been responsive and helpful in thos einstances. Our more frequent users have also had problems with TTP enrolment, another issue outside of Mimecasts's control, but one that has led to some of my more senior users complaining about the service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mimecast helps to protect my organisation. It serves as an essential safeguard against those occasions where staff click the wrong link or open the wrong attachment.
