I am not familiar with the pricing details of Mimecast Email Security as I am an engineer. The sales team manages all pricing-related matters. Most customers are using Mimecast Email Security in the cloud only, not on-premises. Mimecast Email Security has a high catch rate compared to other solutions such as Cisco, Trend Micro, or Barracuda. They consistently implement new solutions and inform all their customers and partners about new features, which is a positive aspect. Based on overall experience, Mimecast Email Security is the best solution for traditional gateways. Having worked with multiple traditional gateways including Cisco, Trend Micro, and Barracuda, Mimecast Email Security stands out as the superior option. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Mimecast Email Security a 10 overall.
Based on your rich experience with the Mimecast Email Security, what kind of advice or recommendation can you share with users who are considering it? The reviewer gave Mimecast Email Security a rating of 10 out of 10.
I have learned various aspects related to the topic. I will monitor all types of logs, including those from Mimecast, which provides information about users’ contacts, histories, and account numbers. Although multiple policies are in place, we are currently monitoring just five specific types. Mimecast is useful. According to the premises, Mimecast is important, but the choice of tools often depends on each company’s requirements and budget. While Mimecast is a highly effective console for email protection, companies select tools based on their own budgets and needs. It is easy for a beginner to learn. If a person understands impersonation policies and how to apply them, the process becomes straightforward. However, if someone is unfamiliar with these policies and their monitoring, it can be challenging. However, once a person is knowledgeable about impersonation policies, the process becomes much easier. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Mimecast Email Security with Targeted Threat Protection is a well-known solution that was recommended to us by a third party.

Overall, I rate the solution a six or seven out of ten.

The poor thing about Mimecast is due to their unwillingness to move our center IP to a different center IP. So it doesn't get a bad reputation with Microsoft, and they refused to do that. So that's why I would possibly end up choosing a different solution. To those planning to use the tool, I would ask them to make sure they put you on an email server. However, it has got a bad IP reputation because it refused to move off to a different server. Overall, I rate the solution a five out of ten.
We are on the cloud version. We are always on the latest version. I'd advise potential new users to do research and figure out the best solution for their needs. Ours was very specific, being in the healthcare industry. We could have benefited from really doing a little more research since it is difficult to use on our end. Overall, I would rate the solution seven out of ten.

I rate Mimecast Email Security seven out of 10. It's doing what it's supposed to do, but there are a few annoying things from a user perspective. For example, it requires you to enroll your device with Mimecast to open a link from a known sender. This is someone you know that you're messaging. If they add a link, you have to authenticate your device through multifactor authentication to follow the link in the email.
I'm a freelancer and working support for some companies who are using Mimecast and Proofpoint. Sometimes I create it as a subscription for them, and I configure everything from the scratch, and sometimes, I take it already configured and just maintain it and tune the settings in. I'd advise those implementing the solution to read the documentation carefully before beginning. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I'd rate them higher, however, they are difficult to set up with Active Directory.
In terms of the actual email protection part, if we need to release emails, that is possible for the end user with certain caveats, and it works very well. My advice to those considering this product would be to go for it. It's a very good product. I think it's one of the best in its class in terms of threat protection. I would rate it as an eight out of ten.

There is a lot of functionality that we haven't fully taken advantage of. I would say, make sure you are selecting a product that best fits your business. Some things will be added as you go through the implementation process. Since our implementation, items have been added, and with some of the functionality that they have, we simply don't have the time to assess and determine what we require. I would recommend reviewing everything that comes with your product license and ensuring that it is covered when you go through the implementation process. I would rate Mimecast Email Security with Targeted Threat Protection an eight out of ten.

I would advise others to take a good look at it. There are a lot of layers to it, and there are parts of Mimecast that we don't even use yet. It is pretty much a beast when it comes to email security, but just make sure you take your time and have somebody who knows how to set it up. Give enough training to your admin. I manage several different pieces, and Mimecast is one of them. It is just an ongoing thing that requires monitoring all day and looking for phishing, impersonations, and things like that. You also have to set up different policies as they come about for block centers and permitted centers. It is almost a full-time job. I would rate Mimecast Email Security with Targeted Threat Protection an eight out of ten. I don't really have any complaints, and it does its job.

We're just an end-user. We use their Perimeter Defense plan, we use their Continuity plan, we also use email to archive. These are the three scales that we use from them. I would advise others considering the solution to technically evaluate their competencies, their highs, and lows, first. Also, read the fine print, and understand the exact costs. A company will need to understand natively how much of Mimecast capabilities does Microsoft offer if you just subscribe to an Office 365 license. It might make them rethink using this solution. From a technical standpoint, I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

Mimecast has been in the market for a long time. It's a good tool if you want to simplify your operations. It's a good tool for removing on-prem appliances that otherwise you would need to do with the protection that Mimecast provides. I would recommend that you just keep that in mind. On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine. If they corrected those two issues that I mentioned, then it would be an 11.
