Featured Reviews

Advanced email filtering has blocked massive spam volumes and prevents unauthorized data leaks
Improvements for Mimecast Advanced Email Security include enhancing the user interface and accessibility, particularly regarding admin capabilities to add or modify user accounts. Streamlining this could improve overall usability and security management for users. Reporting is another area needing improvement in Mimecast Advanced Email Security, as the reports provided are not very easy to decipher. With artificial intelligence being integrated into various tools including Mimecast Advanced Email Security, I believe there is potential to enhance functionality, enabling users to ask specific questions and retrieve concise answers instead of overwhelming data. I choose a nine for Mimecast Advanced Email Security because improvements such as better user interface and artificial intelligence integration features would greatly enhance its usability. While no tool is perfect, these adjustments could greatly elevate Mimecast Advanced Email Security's capabilities.

Archives emails and files, providing indexes for searching the archives
The tool has had some scalability issues, but now that it's offered as a cloud service, it's easier to manage. However, setting it up isn't as straightforward as it used to be, and there may be limitations with the support provided during setup and testing. Also, the quality of support has declined in the past year.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, I consider Mimecast Advanced Email Security to be a reliable and effective security solution, with the highest value for organizations that face significant phishing and email-based threats and are willing to invest time in proper configuration and monitoring."
"We like the content filtering and secure messaging features."
"Mimecast Advanced Email Security positively impacts my organization by filtering spam emails."
"The interface of this solution is very easy to navigate and user-friendly. There is no delivery in email and other communications, making it reliable. The configuration is relatively easy."
"Mimecast is a brilliant product; it works very well, I have very seldomly, if ever, had any problems with it, and it does exactly what it promises to do."
"Mimecast Advanced Email Security proves to be a useful tool, allowing me as security personnel to work in a more peaceful manner."
"In terms of efficacy, Proofpoint is better than Mimecast, though it's a little difficult to manage."
"Based on overall experience, Mimecast Email Security is the best solution for traditional gateways."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Everything is in one console, including the security and managing the data there, such as mailboxes, email, et cetera - everything."
"The tool streamlines data discovery processes for compliance by setting up a gateway to copy every incoming and outgoing email to the archive independently of the mailbox. This ensures that even if a user deletes their mailbox, the emails are still available in the archive, making it a compliant solution for monitoring all incoming and outgoing emails. Additionally, it offers the ability to place legal holds on important emails."
 

Cons

"The detection rates are an area for improvement."
"Mimecast needs to reduce the number of false positive emails; a big pain point for us."
"The feature that should be included is to remove the block on the encrypted files."
"The reaction time between a new threat being identified and Mimecast picking it up needs to be narrowed a bit."
"Their support should be improved. They are notorious for sending you to knowledge-based articles rather than actually talking to you, but that is, unfortunately, kind of becoming a trend with everything. In terms of features, I haven't had any complaints. However, I don't like the fact they moved to a paid training subscription model. They used to have a lot of free webinars for training, but they have started to charge for them in the past year."
"The system is not user-friendly because you have to create policies that are mapped in a dictionary."
"They should improve the cookies management feature."
"They could provide a unified licensing model, including all the security features."
"The tool has had some scalability issues, but now that it's offered as a cloud service, it's easier to manage. However, setting it up isn't as straightforward as it used to be, and there may be limitations with the support provided during setup and testing. Also, the quality of support has declined in the past year."
"Technical support could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs are per-user for the product that you get with them."
"It is a bit expensive."
"The price of Mimecast Mailbox Continuity is expensive."
"I'm always going to say the price needs to be lower, but it's reasonable."
"The product price is moderate. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"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 customers can select the license packages as per their requirements."
"Two subscription options are currently offered: monthly and yearly. My suggestion is to opt for the yearly subscription as it can give some discount. The pricing isn't high as other cloud solutions are pricier than Microsoft's offerings."
"The tool is expensive, and I rate its price as eight out of ten. It might not be very expensive. However, comparing it with something that's free or already included in the price is challenging, like the Office 365 archive mailbox. Previously, this was part of the subscription price. Now, it's an additional cost, typically covered by departments like legal or compliance rather than IT."
