    If you're using the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, Mimecast Email Security CI is a must-have, as it adds an extra layer of email security. With advanced email threat detection capabilities, this tool handles internal threat incidents, ransomware, and phishing, and is effective at scanning attachments and URLs. It is a reliable/effective email security solution for business.

    Virtru
    Of all the products out there that integrate with Google, we found Virtru to be the most user-friendly for both our users and the recipients. At the same time, its logging capabilities provide the trail we need for sensitive information. This is one tool for us that has generally been "setup and forget" which helps with the I.T. Dept workload.

    Pros
    Mimecast
    • Simplicity: Once set up, Mimecast Advanced Email Security is easy to use, intuitive, and simple. This reduces onboarding time with new employees.
    • Robust Audit Trail: Being able to see what happened with specific emails, why things happened, and who was responsible for them helps to reduce troubleshooting time as well as improving overall email observability.
    • Clean Interface: Mimecast Advanced Email Security is a Swiss-Army-Knife of email security. There are many different configurations and complex rules that can be implemented. To make this manageable Mimecast Advanced Email Security has implemented a simple and clean UI. Being able to favorite commonly used features makes a huge difference in usability.
    • Simple SSO Integration: This seems like a no-brainer, but its odd to see how many SaaS products either don't support SSO, or make it so complicated and convoluted that setup and maintenance becomes a fully time job.

    Virtru
    • Email encryption without installing or exchange keys with the recipient.
    • Email DLP that is easy to configure and maintain.
    • Application Gateway that encrypts email sent directly from SaaS application (ex. Zendesk, SalesForce).
    • Protect attachment with restriction like time, print, and copy.

    Cons
    Mimecast
    • I would like to see some additional improvement around the attachment protection, specifically what may be getting caught and what types of files are attempting to be delivered via email by impersonators.
    • The Targeted Threat Protection is a great product, and I wish there was a dashboard for this service where we could easily see the types of emails and/or links that have been caught as part of the protection module that could be shared with executives.
    • Finally, I feel that the phishing protection is great and honestly don't believe there should be much improvement needed there.

    • Native Google Docs file encryption should be improved, it's working great in Google Drive but only for files that are not Google native.

    There is no question as to the value of the product to the business and the disruption of changing vendors would not be worth any savings possibly achieved by switching.

    Usability
    Mimecast
    Mimecast advanced email security is an excellent tool, and even better, all the tools can be accessed from a single console. One thing I love about Mimecast is that when you add features to your account, they are automatically added to your console, which you already have experience with. No need to learn a new console.

    For the one sending/using, I rate a 10. For receiver experience, I would rate it 8, as sometimes there are hiccups. So overall, a 9

    When calling them you get best in the world customer services but as previously mentioned their online community and capabilities are a bit lacking. They want you to log into their portal to see updates on issues (vs. using a public facing service) and I rarely find the answers to my issues in electronic format. Their online presence is only helpful with the simplest of issues.

    Mimecast Advanced Email Security is FAR superior. Sophos practically gave us the email for free and we still didn't want it. Sophos also does not do both Gateway and API properly. Mimecast Advanced Email Security's AI-Powered net is next level.

    Full Gmail integration was not a negotiable item for us in our evaluation. Other products provided our needed functionality, but they were outside the standard Gmail interface. That made them more difficult to use, and also less likely to be used. Virtru was the only one we evaluated that actually resided within the Gmail interface, making it very easy to use.
