    If someone is looking for a cloud archive solution, I believe Mimecast Cloud Archive has one of the best. I have worked with a few competitors in the past but the reason we have continued with Mimecast Cloud Archive is because of the capability, cost to value, and support that we receive. They also have other capabilities that can add security to your environment that you can access from the same portal.

    RMail is great for sending emails with information that is sensitive but that the recipient is not going to put a lot of work into retrieving. I do psychological evaluations for criminal courts and I use it to send reports to courts and attorneys. I need to use something compatible with HIPAA privacy rules, which courts and attorneys are typically not as concerned about. If they had to use a password or go to an outside web address to retrieve the email, they wouldn't do it. It's also common for an attorney to say they didn't get an email, but I always know if they did or not, and I have clear documentation of it, which is important in legal cases.

    Pros
    Mimecast
    • Sync and Recover is a great tool for when you need to recover emails quickly or in bulk.
    • The archive is nested in the mail protection admin portal, so it is easy to navigate between the recent mail in the protection portal (limited window of time) and the archive when searching for emails during investigations or troubleshooting.
    • The additional protection feature allows scanning of emails that land in the archive. This helps with internal to internal emails that might have been malicious, for instance from a compromised account.
    • The Mimecast for Outlook add-in is nice, although you can access it from the web as well, for seeing your own archives. If users are missing an email, they can look there on their own without submitting an IT support ticket.
    • We do not allow end users to restore their own, but that is a feature that exists as well.

    • Read receipts tell you the time a message was actually opened
    • The electronic signature feature is nice, and usually not included with these types of services
    • Many times, a recipient doesn't need a password to open their email. RMail leverages TLS technology in most cases
    • Recipients do have the option of creating an account, but generally they don't need to
    • Outlook integration is very easy to set up
    • Gmail integration within Chrome is pretty amazing

    Cons
    Mimecast
    • The system runs slowly at times.
    • There are so many features, it can be difficult to find exactly how to perform some actions.
    • Emails are not automatically shown in their native format when searched you must click on the email and then request it be formatted in the proper format (HTML, plaintext, etc.).

    • Program plug-in crashes on occasion.
    • Issues can arise if your computer's clock is not synced to RMail's time servers.
    • Setup was initially tedious (but has gotten much better since 2019).

    The product is an excellent tool for our organisation. With one incident in the past it helped clear any wrong doing when an external party had their email hacked. We where able to show that when the email left our org it was in tact with out modification and only after it arrived in the partners org was it changed. This one incident alone has shown how valuable the tool is.

    I don't think RPost has any competition, at least none that I can use. I think that once registered email becomes widely accepted (someday soon?), it will be indispensable for anyone in business, and RPost is the leading vendor (maybe the only vendor).

    Usability
    Mimecast
    The archive is easy to use and the searching is highly customizable. You can easily search based on timeframe, sender, recipient, words, phrases, and attachments. The ability to search keywords within attachments, body, and subject line is incredibly helpful. We're able to quickly and easily find what we're looking for.

    It is as simple as downloading a plug-in or installing a chrome extension, then you click a button to use it. The interface is straightforward.

    There is never an issue. Everytime I have needed to access my own personal search archive or globally search across the whole business it works each time. I cannot recall a time where the service was down when needed to be used and all our staff use it daily.

    Performance
    Mimecast
    The stability of the tool is the biggest factor, it has a fantastic uptime and the loading speed is exceptional. Long gone are the days of waiting for Outlook to open up a traditional PST archive, I can simply click, find what I need and go, usually, before outlook has opened the archive. It is an exceptionally efficient tool.

    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.

    Support is easy to access via email or phone. They also reach out to you periodically with new features, but they aren't intrusive about it. I usually appreciate it when I get an email from RMail, which is not very often.

    We used Mimecast professional services for the implementation and it was flawless as we were migrating from a competitor's product. The only downside was the amount of time required to ingest all the data as this was coming from a few different sources and in some cases it took months to migrate and index all the content. Apart from that the process was very well guided, with plenty of communication all throughout and without any major issues or downtime.

    One of the big features of Mimecast is the ability to send large files. We used to use CItrix Sharefile for this but switched over to Mimecast's LFS for one large reason...since we are archiving all of our mail in Mimeast anyway we would have wanted these attachments, even if large, also available to if we go back to look at old emails. However just for usability sake I think Citrix Sharefile's large file send is more polished and probably works a little better. We just choose to use the Mimecast so we had a one stop shop when it came to email archiving

    RMail is really useful when wanting to send important encrypted information, and have control of what happens on the other end. It also comes with a complete set of features that help in any other way you can imagine. I've been through other products, and nothing compares to it.

    Return on Investment
    Mimecast
    • I can't put an exact dollar figure on it but Mimecast makes our company more efficient when it comes to email search and discovery.
    • Being heavily regulated it's great to have peace of mind when we're audited and I can just say we have Mimecast. Check that box off!
    • We were quite relieved when Mimecast stopped inbound attachments infected with WannaCry.
    • I enjoy the benefits of a cloud service so I don't have to manage hardware, deal with upgrades, or figure out complicated licensing schemes.

    • There's not much ROI, because we don't get it much cheaper than the list price.
    • However, being able to offer this service strengthens our service offerings.
