Has powerful event correlations and is stable, scalable, and easy to set up
We use it for insider threat prevention with iPhones and to identify bad practices that block business processes I like that the core functionality is not in different modules. The event correlation is quite powerful. Incident management could be improved, along with enforcement capabilities,…
External Ganesh - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Engineer at Comcast
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that the core functionality is not in different modules. The event correlation is quite powerful."
"Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection positively impacts my organization by helping us thoroughly check any kind of data that should not be mishandled, primarily for endpoint users who are sending organization documents outside."
"It has quite a bit of flexibility in configuring backup sets."
"The solution is very stable. Very rarely do we have any issues with it. We don't have to deal with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We find it to be reliable."
"The reason for us moving over to CrashPlan was cost and retention, as we saved the company $6000 a year using CrashPlan and no more "surprise, you are out of space" messages."
"Seamless backup of our valuable data on mobile systems."
"Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection is a very robust and highly reliable gateway, and we are very satisfied with its excellency with the anti-spam and URL rewriting feature."
"We deployed the tool in our organization so that now we have more control over the user's activities within our organization, and the quick alerting also helped us in minimizing the internal data exposure."
"I'm still new to it; I think right now I am 90% happy with it."
 

Cons

"Incident management could be improved, along with enforcement capabilities, which DTEX does not have at the moment."
"The login screen for customers could be improved, I find that the white and grey could be hard to read for some customers depending on the brightness of their screens."
"Protecting Servers would be an excellent area to improve."
"I am waiting for them to develop an app that can be installed on a smartphone or tablet that backs up the data as it does for computers."
"Faster."
"Multi user environments are not currently supported and has been an inconvenience on several occasions."
"Sometimes we do encounter vague answers for some of the queries we have, but apart from that, the customer support response has always been very good."
"Reporting is pretty limited if you are not using the API."
"Our client has chosen Proofpoint over Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection because they are highly recommended to the Proofpoint solution rather than Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing wise, DTEX would be a four on a scale from one to ten, where one is the highest price and 10 is the lowest price. It is not the cheapest solution."
"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 is 100% worth the cost to get and keep the support, especially when setting it up."
"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."
"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."
