Email Security Engineer at Logic Infosecurity
Experience high detection and user-friendly policies with reliable email security implementation
The system is not user-friendly because you have to create policies that are mapped in a dictionary. As an IT engineer, I understand how it works, but explaining it to another IT person can be difficult. Having more user-friendly dashboards would improve the work experience. In Mimecast Email Security, checking policies in the dictionary or gateway is very complicated, and not everyone understands this process. If you examine the Check Point portal, it's user-friendly with easily accessible tabs that anyone can explore. With Mimecast Email Security, making changes might impact existing mailboxes. The portal is complicated compared to Check Point's user-friendly interface.

Improves decision-making with clear verdict explanations and works well across multiple environments
I know that a lot of time has been invested in improving the efficacy of the platform, and it shows; it performs very well. Moving forward, I think our focus should be on how to achieve better integration with other systems. While they do provide API-level access and web hooks, I believe more out-of-the-box integrations with SOAR platforms and SIEM tools would enhance Sublime's value. This would allow it to be integrated more closely with the workflows of various teams and could potentially increase its market appeal. From my perspective, the tool itself functions exceptionally well, which gives me confidence in the system. I want to see this functionality extend to other tools that I use, enabling faster automation and improved workflows for the team, particularly from a security operations standpoint. I have no critiques regarding the tool itself. They've done an outstanding job and are maintaining high quality throughout their development process. They have a great product, and it's essential that they continue to uphold that standard, even though it requires significant effort.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Due to our specialized use case, that HIPAA dictionary really comes in handy."
"It's good, it keeps the spam out."
"The setup was easy."
"The product is good. To date, we have not faced any challenges."
"What I like about the integration is that it is directly into Microsoft 365, users can use their Microsoft 365 credentials to log into the portal and access their mail."
"The solution offers good technical support."
"We like Mimecast's spam filtering. The email signature feature is also a big plus for our users."
"We like the content filtering and secure messaging features."
"So far, I do not see any problem with Sublime Security's support or their customer service."
"Overall, the auditability and the ability to evaluate the information in Sublime through various mechanisms made me very comfortable with setting these capabilities to auto-remediation."
"I like its ability to detect and block."
 

Cons

"I'd like to have better support from the product in the future."
"The reaction time between a new threat being identified and Mimecast picking it up needs to be narrowed a bit."
"The system is not user-friendly because you have to create policies that are mapped in a dictionary."
"The solution's console interface was recently changed for the admins, but the previous one was much better because we could open tabs on it."
"Mimecast needs to reduce the number of false positive emails; a big pain point for us."
"From an administrative point of view, Mimecast is a little bit cumbersome and difficult. It's not something that the end-user can easily find navigate themselves."
"We discussed the phishing aspect, the DNS system, and the key rotation."
"Its pricing can be improved. It is a bit expensive."
"While they do provide API-level access and web hooks, I believe more out-of-the-box integrations with SOAR platforms and SIEM tools would enhance Sublime's value."
"The ability for users to look at their own quarantine box needs improvement. So at the moment, it doesn't give you the ability to see every email that has been quarantined. No end-user has the ability to see what's being quarantined. It's only people who have access to the back-end platform that can actually see what has been quarantined. The end user doesn't know if they have an email that has been quarantined, only if they're expecting something that didn't come through."
"With Sublime Security, so far, I have seen a lot of false positives, and it is something that can bring a lot of administrative overhead."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a ten."
"For what it is, the product is overpriced."
"It is a bit expensive."
"Compared to the other products in the market, it is neither cheap but nor very expensive. I would rate it somewhere in the middle, 5 out of 10."
"The product has good pricing in terms of return on investment."
"The solution is expensive."
"The licensing costs are per-user for the product that you get with them."
"I'm always going to say the price needs to be lower, but it's reasonable."
"I would rate the pricing of Sublime Security as a seven out of ten. It is reasonably well-priced."
