Affordable and provides visibility into what the users are doing with the data
The file integrity monitoring feature is difficult to manage because some files are confidential while others are not. We use a different tool to classify the files as confidential and non-confidential. The sensitive data discovery and classification features are not of much help. It is a difficult process. The controlling features must be improved. The interface must be improved.

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

"The product’s strict policies are its best features."
"The detection and alert features are valuable."
"Customer service is awesome, they are on top of all questions and are US based."
"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."
"Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection has positively impacted my organization by enabling investigation of risk behavior and user behavior, reducing potential data leakages, improving awareness of sensitive data handling across users, strengthening compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements, and streamlining incident investigation through centralized case management."
"Code42 CrashPlan is by far the best data backup solution on the market."
"CrashPlan is one of the top three software implementations I have ever been involved with in 15 years."
"Two things stand out: money saved and time saved."
"End-user workstation backups are consistent and always running."
"This is by far the best cloud-based backup solution."
 

Cons

"The vendor must provide a cloud solution."
"The interface must be improved."
"Upgrade process a bit time consuming, but worth the time."
"Hey, Code 42! Isn't it time that we lose the Java dependency??"
"It's very user friendly...when it works."
"Not available for iPads yet."
"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."
"Clients will from time-to-time have difficulty connecting to our backup server."
"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."
"The support documents, although very thorough, can take a long time to read through; I would often prefer a simplified version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"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 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 is 100% worth the cost to get and keep the support, especially when setting it up."
"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."
