Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection Room for Improvement
External Ganesh
Security Engineer at Comcast
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.

I would highlight reporting and analytics improvement. While the dashboard looks great, getting highly customized reports out of the system without using an external API can be difficult. The daily dashboards are very intuitive, but native executive report features could be enhanced. If you want to create highly customized reports for C-level presentation or high-level reviews, you often have to rely on their API to export data into a third-party SIEM or BI tools. Having more out-of-the-box templates for quarterly risk summaries would be a huge time-saver and advantage for this tool.
I would also mention virtual or shared environment support. It is technically specific, and there is a struggle in particular virtual desktop infrastructure environments where multiple users share a single host. One area of improvement is better out-of-the-box support for multi-user shared host environments such as Azure Virtual Desktop or AVD setups. When multiple active users share a single host simultaneously, the endpoint tracking can sometimes face performance bottlenecks or require complex workarounds to report individual data flawlessly. These are the areas where this product can improve.

A con to mention is that Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection, at times, may not capture everything. For instance, the time that Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection took to process something such as incoming email is normally fifteen to twenty seconds, which is completely normal. Though the email is released, delays of ten to twenty minutes may be experienced, which does not get captured in Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection. It may show delays on the recipient's mail server end, but creates a contradiction since in Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection I do not see any delay, while the recipient's mail server indicates a delay occurring at Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection.
For testing, I whitelisted the specific domain for the sender's email. After whitelisting that, the delay disappeared, yet I wonder why Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection did not capture that in this specific log. This issue has not occurred often, maybe once or twice in the past six to seven months, but understanding that aspect has led me to reach out to OEM. They provided their views, but I was not very satisfied; they could show where it is getting captured and why it is not highlighted clearly. That is a con of Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection, but overall, it is a great tool. Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection is totally recommended. The policies are solid, they work effectively, the implementation time is not very long, integrations with SIEM are quite easy, and the Glassbreak account is something I have tested, making Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection better in this regard. Overall, it is a great tool.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection could be improved if they can offer a remote app for ease of use. If the team is not working from a workstation, we usually have the service access through our laptops, and if there's an interface on a mobile basis, that would be useful.
Ease of use for our newer recruits is an area for improvement. When someone just joins our team, we want an easy onboarding process for them to understand why Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection is in place. Sometimes we do not have the capacity to train someone, but we would like to ensure that Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection is able to provide that training information to get them up to speed on what our system is, what our setup is in the Mimecast platform. Maybe implementing a deep dive AI tool that understands our organization much better and can relay information to anyone that we're training would help. This way, we can pull training parameters to track areas where our technical teams can improve their understanding and knowledge base and skill base into making use of Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection better.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection could be improved by enhancing the dashboards and UI data. I want executive dashboards available so that I can share them with my C-suite team.
Regarding Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection's AI capabilities, I think its governance and security are effective because it has reduced false positives in data protection as well as inside risk alerts, improved real-time detection of data exfiltration attempts, expanded monitoring to email, M365 teams, SharePoint, increased automation for incident response and remediations, and improved integration with SIEM and SOAR.
I find Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection's AI accuracy and reliability of its output to be consistent and trustworthy for my organization.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection already provides data loss prevention through content examination and email encryption; however, the insider risk management and data protection could be enhanced by adding more intelligent, behavior-based detection and integration with enterprise security tools.
I wish for better integration with SIEM and XDR, specifically improved integration with platforms such as Splunk, Microsoft Defender, and Sentinel.
Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection is already providing strong email security and data loss prevention capabilities, but the insider risk management could be enhanced by adding advanced user behavior and analytics, including AI-based risk scoring and more context-aware data loss prevention policies. Deeper integration with SIEM and XDR platforms would improve visibility across the security system, and with better data classification and adaptive security policies, it would help reduce false positives and prevent sensitive data from leaving the organization.

Improvement-wise, just because I have other clients who use Abnormal and Material Security, I can say Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection's dashboard is not that user-appealing, where someone would actually go through their dashboard and figure out metrics. Additionally, navigating their platform is not the top product. These are things they could improve on and that would add really value.

Regarding improvement for Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection, I believe there is one area that needs attention: QR code phishing.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection can be improved by enhancing policies and rules.
One improvement I would suggest is to create a dashboard where we can view all data, such as how many emails we receive and how many get blocked, rather than having to go through subfolders. A dashboard would allow us to easily check everything on one screen.

Everything in Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection is good, and nothing requires improvement. However, I would suggest adding features like AI and automation, as this application is used by various teams, and automating processes like blacklisting unwanted email domains could greatly benefit users and customers.
Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection should provide the flexibility to customize the application features based on the company's needs.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection could improve by adding a feature to analyze URLs; there is a need for complexity given modern AI developments. For users, it is difficult to determine if a URL is legitimate. Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection should incorporate features to detect if a URL is malicious or generated by AI, especially since many attackers use scripts to bypass mail gateways.
As for the user interface of Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection, it is quite simple and effective. I do not think there is any improvement needed on the user interface side, but in configuration, sometimes users mistakenly click a button and can accidentally close entire processes, which should be improved.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection can be improved because we struggled with configurations. I suggest that Mimecast provide training and certification on that component and ensure that alerts are more accurate, including the fine-tuning of the alerts.
In terms of integration with other tools, there should be a look at the firewalls for integration to the perimeter security.

Livhuwani Ratshinanga
IT Administrator at a media company with 201-500 employees
To improve Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection, I believe the product should provide more options for creating custom rules in the portal. Since hackers are constantly developing new attack methods, Mimecast should continue evolving to keep pace with these threats and give us more options to create additional rules. There have been scenarios where we felt that if Mimecast could allow us to do certain actions, we could have blocked or avoided security issues, though I do not have a specific example at this moment.
I give Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection a rating of eight because there are several areas where I feel the product could improve. There are scenarios where we find ourselves wishing we could perform certain actions within the platform. Additionally, there have been instances where a document or link has bypassed Mimecast, causing us to question why it was not blocked before reaching users.

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. It really has to do with the overall infrastructure and what the organization is prepared to do. If the infrastructure or the networking is a little hinky or you don't have a really finely tuned network infrastructure environment and your patches aren't up to date on your servers and your endpoints, it could get a little sticky. Other than that, it was okay. We really didn't have much problem beyond that. It took a couple of days to sort that out, but it was no big deal.

The solution has been designed for a different approach than the one followed by other DLP solutions in the market. Most of us who come from the mindset of filtering out incidents using a content-specific approach may find this solution limited. The next updates for the solution may benefit from using some of the features provided by older solutions in the market to allow for a deep dive. There is limited support for data at rest.

I am not sure, since we use an old version of the application (planning on doing the upgrade next year) and it has flaws but I don't know if they have been fixed on the newer versions. I saw the new version and just by seeing it I think it provides more information on the status of the server with out going thru all the steps on the old version. I think one we can improve is the compression but I am not familiar with the newer version so I cannot really share an opinion on that.

Reporting could be stronger. With the API you can do a lot of reporting, but it is not built in very robustly.
License management could be improved; currently in hybrid format, you can get a total license count but not how many of those licenses are cloud vs local or how many cloud licenses are left.
They are using a federated model for storage servers and I would love to see that carry over to client upgrades so that they do not all come back to my central server for the update files, which could easily be stored on the storage server for distribution locally.

The only area of improvement/complaint that I have is that the system is a bit too aggressive during the initial backup - it starts backing up files to the Code42 cloud almost immediately after installation without giving you an option to pick the files to be backed up first.

It's a bit thick, so it takes time for admins to utilize full capabilities of the product.

There is extensive documentation though and help is just a chat box away, so you can get through it. It just takes time for admins to learn all the ins and outs of the program, but like Photoshop it's worth it

Improved reporting on backup progress. Re-scan shows how much data there is to scan for a backup, not how much data there is to backup (E.g.

Protecting Servers would be an excellent area to improve. There are workarounds but basically you have to treat them as end-users, which is not the same experience for a server environment.
