We performed a comparison between Check Point Anti-Spam and Email Security Software Blade and Mimecast Email Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Email Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Defender for 365 is a comprehensive cloud-based solution.

"It would be better if it were more scalable. It depends on the architecture, but we would like to make it more scalable for both data centers."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"Microsoft security solutions work as expected. They are constantly updating the solutions to make them better. At the same time, the changes can impact a customer's environment, and we need to adjust settings. Sometimes we aren't aware of the changes, and nothing is pushed from the backend automatically."

"The product must provide better malware detection."
"There is room for improvement with the UI."

"While we often take advantage of Check Point's cloud part, including Infinity or Harmony, I would like to see products that directly deal with mobile or native environments or other operating systems that we have within the organization."
"I can say that the solution's price level is a problematic area that needs to be considered for improvement."
"The user should be able to perform a real-time search of the objects and see the messages."
"The solution's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need to be improved for the better."
"Installation time could be improved as it takes too long to install."
