Mimecast Incydr Pros review quotes

There are a couple of things. One of them is that they have what they call Incydr. Their detection and response solution to the insider threat area is called Incydr. That gives visibility to the clients that have widely dispersed employee bases due to work from home, or that had a dispersed workforce predating any of the work from home requirements. Even though they might not be inside the organization physically, they're inside the organization. It allows us to get some visibility into what people are doing, what the context is, and how to control what might be the potential for intellectual property theft or file exposure.

t has a very user friendly status bar with common errors and has logs built in to the console so we can review the issues or status of CrashPlan.

Backup and recovery have been great, but I love having the ability to keep the hybrid type build which they offer.

Security tools: Being able to monitor data going in and coming off our endpoints. Seeing what it is and where it's going is awesome.

The solution is very stable. Very rarely do we have any issues with it. We don't have to deal with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We find it to be reliable.

Mimecast Incydr Cons review quotes

In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue.

I think one we can improve is the compression.

More security would be nice, I would love to be able to remotely brick a stolen laptop and it's hard disk drive (HDD).

You can't always filter out data that you'd like to.

Reporting could use an overhaul. It is very limited.

There doesn't seem to be any feature that is lacking.

What I think could be improved is how I get support.
Feb 9, 2018
​Due to recent changes that effectively abandoned an entire segment of their user base, I no longer trust nor can recommend Code42 products.

I would like to see more flexibility on privileges, perhaps create another kind of admin for regions. Also, I would like the ability to access logs without having to be on the actual device or a super-admin.

Java, please get rid of Java.
