Likelihood to Recommend For most businesses, CodeTwo Email Signatures 365's signature solution would be a well-suited and logical pick. The solution is easy to set-up, fairly priced and a breeze to work with. A simple deployment is up and running in minutes, while more complex flows are handled without issue. Only situations where very high access-segmentation requirements are present, would not be served by the lack of better access control in the solution.
Read full review If you want to keep your production email system from getting bloated with old, out of date emails and want the archived emails to be easily searchable, Mimecast Archiving is an ideal tool. It is also completely cloud-based, so requires no additional infrastructure to implement it. If you are paranoid about storing your email in the cloud (albeit in a totally secure environment), then Mimecast is not for you.
Read full review Pros Email design and layout Apply different signatures by group or by user or go so far as to change it per recipient Dynamic fields to pull user data from AD/AzureAD (phone number, job title, etc.) Ability to add non-admins (usually marketing) to help manage the signatures Read full review Message archiving is essential in healthcare and Mimecast makes it easy and at a reasonable cost. One of the features we appreciate most is the search function. Outlook can be pretty frustrating when it comes to searching for messages and Mimecast adds plenty of filtering and search capabilities that help find what Outlook can't. Targeted Threat Protection (TTP) is a great service that proxies URL's in email and adds an extra layer of protection against malicious attachments. The addition of TTP a couple years ago demonstrates Mimecast's continued development to meet modern threats. Online mailbox can be used for email continuity if your mail server is down. We don't have frequent downtime but it's good to know communications can keep flowing if we do. Support is always helpful and timely. Read full review Cons Changing font type and color doesn't work as expected when editing multiple lines in the simple editor The custom scheduler lacks the option to recurrently schedule yearly events, e.g. the yearly Christmas signature from Dec 15 to Jan 15. You can preview a signature with real user data when editing the template, but you cannot preview a signature based on multiple rules combined like a regular signature followed by a marketing banner and then a disclaimer. Read full review Although many people seem to love it, I think their search capability takes some getting used to. It works and you can find anything you need but it is not as clean as if searching in Outlook. When an incoming domain is on the Mimecast's blacklist the email is totally blocked and there is no notification of this so if a user tells me they are not getting email from somewhere I sometimes have to assume this is the issue and go the extra step and add that domain to a white list not knowing if it will really solve the issue. The Large File send options in outlook work fairly well but if one is sending a dozen files the receiver SHOULD get an option to download them all into one size but they do not. Instead they have to download each file individually. Some of their new client releases can cause issues so you must test the clients well and usually stick with a good one when you get one that works well in your environment.

We have been happy with their version for onprem exchange and updated to the m365 version after migrating our business to the cloud.
Read full review Does everything we need in the realm of email archiving, does it well and does it at a price point that seems very reasonable.
Read full review Usability The email preview feature is great and super useful, but it should retain the selected sender until the editor is closed. I often preview a signature for a certain user, do some changes and want to preview them again without re-selecting the same sender every time. The search field for selecting a sender for the preview should execute the search when the enter key is pressed. Conditional placeholders are great but the handling could be better. For example: why do they have to be re-inserted after every change? Or when the default value is intentionally left empty, there should be a way to turn of the warnings.

Read full review Support Rating No problems but we had a couple of questions about functionality or edge use cases and anytime I contacted CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 support I was absolutely happy with their responses. Very helpful, polite and smart people are working over at CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 support. I would suggest other companies to take note on CodeTwo Email Signatures 365's quality of support and service.
Read full review It does a good job. The support team of the product was good and responsive and was also able to fix the issues I was experiencing at the time. It isn't perfect and takes some time to set up properly in the environment but once set up the product does what it is supposed to do which is what you are paying for.
Read full review Implementation Rating It is important to make sure Active Directory is correctly populated and that content is standardized, eg telephone number formats.
Read full review Alternatives Considered When we were moving to the cloud, we first thought that our own on-premise solution would suffice. However it didn't, so we needed something else and fairly quick. We did some Googling to search for several solutions, then our IT partner told us about CodeTwo. We decided to try it and we decided to stay for it is solid and it just works without all the hassle we had with the on-premise solution.
Read full review Users are not able to delete emails hence Mimecast EIA becomes a very useful tool during e-discovery. For EOA, they offer an inplace archive which means that emails can be deleted if the service is not turned on.

Read full review Return on Investment Great time-saver! Having to configure Outlook signatures on computers and terminal servers is a giant waste of time. Uniformity! Forcing structure for all users so the entire company has the same configuration. Low price, this software is very economically priced and the "bang for the buck" is phenomenal. Read full review We needed a product that would allow us to keep at least 7 years worth of emails as required by the business and Mimecast, with its unlimited archiving, meets this requirement perfectly. Being a cloud-based solution allowed us to save on hardware, infrastructure, and maintenance costs when compared to our previous on-prem appliance.
