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

"The most valuable feature of Mimecast Mailbox Continuity is real-time alerts."
"The solution's performance is good."
"My advice to those considering this product would be to go for it."
"It does a good job for us, and its admin console is easy to use."
"The solution offers good technical support."
"The security on offer is very good."
"Due to our specialized use case, that HIPAA dictionary really comes in handy."
"The product's most valuable features are impersonation protection and phishing countermeasures."
"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."
"Everything is in one console, including the security and managing the data there, such as mailboxes, email, et cetera - everything."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"Mimecast Advanced Email Security needs to improve in this area because they are only focusing on a particular set of problems which is on email and human risk, whereas companies that need a slightly bigger picture will look elsewhere."
"The interface and the documentation could be improved. They can also include some more training resources and content like video. While setting things up, I had to search for the information quite a bit. It took me time to find the correct way to do something. The information is there, but it is sort of all over the place. They can create a better help knowledge base or help portal. It retains your email for 45 days. They can maybe increase this duration."
"Mimecast Email Security is somewhat expensive compared to the competition in the Indian market, and the local presence is lacking as they do not have a local representative currently."
"The filtering needs more flexibility."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The interface isn't the best. How everything works on the back end is confusing."
"The differentiation between bulk spam mail and campaign-related mail could be improved."
"I'd like to have better support from the product in the future."
"Technical support could be better."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Mimecast Mailbox Continuity is expensive."
"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 licensing costs are per-user for the product that you get with them."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product price is moderate. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"It's an expensive solution."
"I'm always going to say the price needs to be lower, but it's reasonable."
"It is a bit expensive."
"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."
