    Dropbox is well suited for sending File Requests to clients to upload documents, and for me to send File Transfers to clients with documents for them to download. I can create separate files for each client, and also create files within files, which is very convenient and useful for my business purposes. In Dropbox I can also see all of the File Requests that I have sent and it shows me how many times they've accessed it and how many files they uploaded. I can also see all of the File Transfers that I have made and whether how many times the client has accessed it and how many documents were downloaded. It also sends me notifications if the clients haven't downloaded their files yet so I can remind them. Dropbox Sign has been very easy to use, and I have already stated what could be changed with it

    Staff is the single most significant danger to the cyber security posture of an organization. Before implementing Mimecast Awareness Training, staff had almost no awareness or concept of IT security or the potential risks. Staff attitudes have improved dramatically since introducing Awareness Training.

    Pros
    Dropbox
    • I can share projects I need feedback on.
    • I can make projects available to editors so that they can do their work.
    • Dropbox is a place where I can store files that I can access from anywhere, even if I don't have my laptop with me at the time.
    • I have an old friend who is an acting professor in Tokyo. He loves the dialogue that I write in my novels. He converts chapters into scenework for his acting students. They get very excited when there's new material!

    Dropbox is a user-friendly, easy tool which requires little to no skill and they offer a free version with a good amount of storage available. There are other file sharing tools available however at a cost. Dropbox free version I have used for years and it serves every purpose I need.

    I’ve parked the slider at a solid 10 because the platform keeps proving its worth every quarter. Staff phishing‑click rates have plunged from double digits to low single digits, our audit team finally stopped chasing overdue modules, and—bonus—engagement surveys show people actually enjoy the bite‑sized, comedic flavoured content. The built‑in reporting lets me walk straight into the boardroom with clean metrics. Minimal admin, measurable behaviour change, and zero eye‑rolls from end‑users—hard to ask for more.

    Usability
    Dropbox
    It works extremely well, and we have never had any issues with connecting or sharing files. It's very easy to use, and any team member can share, add, and delete files to a virtual drive. This is extremely helpful, and it's an amazing tool to use, ensuring everyone can connect and work together effectively.

    I pegged usability at a full‑blown 10 because even my least tech‑savvy colleagues—think “still double‑clicks web links” level—navigate the portal without ringing the help‑desk. Single‑sign‑on drops them straight into the next module, the interface looks like Netflix for cyber nerds, and the progress bar shouts “two minutes left” instead of burying them in menus. On the admin side, I spin up campaigns in three clicks, clone content on the fly, and the drag‑and‑drop scheduling means I can rejig a whole quarter’s plan during the time it takes the kettle to boil. Zero training manuals, zero grumbles, zero excuses—just smooth sailing from login to completion.

    Its the best, hands down. Great, easy to use and on point content that injects some humour into the training makes it relevent whilst staying engaging. We have seen our engagement scores almost double since using Mimecast, with completion rates across the buisness above 90% compared to previous scores on less than 50%.

    Performance

    Dropbox is really useful, you can access any file from anywhere and you can upload and even edit files online, but, sometimes it can be slow. Downloading, uploading, and syncing is a bit slow, it can take several minutes. Furthermore, the search engine for large amounts of data can be slow too and it is not powerful.

    The product is quick and responsive. Emails alert the staff of new training content and provides a direct link to the training video. They watch, learn and than answer a brief question to test their knowledge. This feeds into the users risk profile in which additional training can be automatically applied based on a risk scores.

    They immediately responded like in an example that I gave where one of our staff members accidentally deleted the whole Special Hope Network Dropbox, we immediately contacted Dropbox they walked us through the steps of how to retrieve the information and luckily enough we were able to retrieve the entire Dropbox and we have had back and forth with Dropbox on what to do when an employee leaves how to remove them how to add another employee.

    We have had a couple of instances where we needed to contact customer support for our minecast cyber awareness training. The team were great and easy to deal with. The problem in itself was minor, and turned out to be our issues and understanding setup, however the mimecase team walked us through the issue and it was resolved exceptionally quick.

    I gave implementation a rock‑solid 10 because, frankly, it was smoother than a servo sausage roll at 2 a.m. SSO clicked in on the first try, directory sync hoovered up all the user data without mangling job titles, and change comms went out on time—no “surprise training” backlash. Key insight: involve your internal comms or HR crew from day zero so the launch emails feel like a friendly nudge, not a phishing attempt. We also ran a pilot with our most cynical techs; their nit‑picks helped us tweak permissions before unleashing it on the masses. Finally, schedule the baseline phishing test after staff receive the kickoff memo—sounds obvious, but it spares you the angry “gotcha” emails and makes the resulting metrics actually meaningful.

    Mimecast's content is much higher quality. KnowBe4's sales tactics are much more pushy. Customer service has been better with Mimecast in general, though Mimecast's UX/UI is a lot more confusing a less user-friendly to navigate than KnowBe4. It is difficult to group individuals together, let alone manage if the directory integration is not used.

    Honestly, the pricing model is about as painless as a public‑holiday Monday—straightforward per‑user cost, no sneaky “module packs” hiding in the fine print, and the nonprofit discount went down a treat. If I had to nit‑pick for the sake of continuous improvement, I’d love two tweaks:


    Seat‑band granularity. The jump between tiers can feel like falling off a cliff when you’re hovering near the threshold; a smaller step (say, every 50 users) would soften the blow on fast‑growing teams.


    Mid‑term seat reductions. We negotiated a generous +10 % buffer, but if headcount ever drops, a pro‑rata credit instead of waiting for renewal would be ace.


    Minor quibbles, though—the value’s still a raging 10/10.

    Mimecast Awareness Training is so easy to use, a child could set it up. One of the major benefits of the platform is its ability to easily prepare a years worth of content. As new users enter the organisation, its integration with Microsoft makes it easy to onboard the user and have then catch up on training.

    I’m handing professional services a loud 10 because they rocked up like a pit‑crew at Bathurst and had us race‑ready in record time. Two half‑day workshops, and suddenly we’d nailed SSO, tuned the Azure AD connector, and had a fistful of custom phishing templates dripping with Aussie‑isms (Bunnings receipts, anyone?). Their consultant even whipped up a cheeky PowerShell script to clean up dodgy display‑name attributes, saving our sys‑ops hours of beard‑scratching. On top of that, they translated our dull “Information Handling” policy into bite‑sized language for the learner splash screens—legal loved it, staff actually read it. Zero scope creep, crystal‑clear handover docs, and follow‑up calls that felt more like mentoring than billable hours. Worth every cent.

    • When it works (usually if a client already has Dropbox, so they don't get the solicitation to sign up), it works flawlessly.
    • I've had multiple clients not see the "continue with download only" at the bottom and email me to resend the media another way because they don't have a Dropbox account.
