Provides valuable security features and has a straightforward setup process
The initial setup process is straightforward and takes a weekend at most. A .com domain can take up to forty-eight hours, while a local domain takes about four to eight hours because it has to propagate through the international DNS records. It is a cloud-only solution. If you're managing email security on-premises, you use your bandwidth to download emails, including spam, and then use your servers to clean it up. For example, say a third of your email is spam; this consumes significant bandwidth and resources. However, if you use Mimecast, they filter the emails on their servers before delivering them to you. It can be a major selling point in regions with expensive bandwidth, such as Africa. You can save bandwidth and improve overall efficiency by offloading the spam filtering to Mimecast.
Shruti Shetty - PeerSpot reviewer
Automatically protects any files placed within a designated folder, simplifying data protection and ensure continuous data control
The hot folder feature is the most valuable feature of Seclore for safeguarding communications. For example, if an unauthorized user gets access to a file, you can remove their access even if they've forwarded it to someone else. The hot folder feature creates a parent folder that automatically protects any files placed within it. Additionally, when policies are created for third-party applications, files downloaded from them are automatically protected. For instance, pharmaceutical companies generate many files from third-party applications, and Seclore can automatically protect them.
