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.
Rastislav Maniak - PeerSpot reviewer

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

"Due to our specialized use case, that HIPAA dictionary really comes in handy."
"The most valuable feature is the DMARC Analyzer."
"The product's most valuable features are impersonation protection and phishing countermeasures."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution offers good technical support."
"The piece that is most valuable from the Mimecast standpoint will be the sandboxing feature."
"The platform's most valuable features are journaling and email archiving, effectively stopping phishing attacks."
"In terms of efficacy, Proofpoint is better than Mimecast, though it's a little difficult to manage."
"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."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"Technical support has been slower than it was in the past, likely due to the pandemic."
"The attachment scanning feature doesn't work properly."
"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."
"As for areas for improvement within Mimecast Web Security, I believe there is quite a lot that can be improved."
"The interface isn't the best. How everything works on the back end is confusing."
"While it's quick and easy, the initial setup could be more user-friendly."
"Lately, Mimecast's outbound mail servers have been regularly blocklisted by spam filters. That didn't happen a few years back, but it seems to be a more frequent problem these days. When a server is blocklisted, it means all of my outgoing mail ends up in the recipient's junk mail. That affects my reputation and business confidence."
"I did have a problem with Mimecast. That is why I was looking for an alternative solution because their sender IP address gets poorly rated by Microsoft."
"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 solution is expensive."
"The price of Mimecast Mailbox Continuity is expensive."
"It is a bit 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 product price is moderate. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"It's an expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
