    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.

    QBO is a great solution for small and midsize companies. If the goal is to record all transactions and pull reliable financial reports, QBO is a great option. QBO is also a great solution if most operations are run in a system like Ramp. It syncs well with systems like that and turns the data into something management can use to make decisions. QBO is great because so many people use it. It is easy to find training online, and many people have experience with it.

    Mimecast
    • It provides relatable situations in a humourous and entertaining manner
    • It provides a wide range of topics and scenarios
    • Users can easily access the platform and test their knowledge
    • It gives us great tools to capture which users are doing well and the ones needing more attention and safeguarding

    • Workflows for accounts payable invoice review are terrific.
    • Bill payment allows you to pay vendors online via ACH or check without having to write a physical check, which reduces admin time.
    • The cloud based login lends well to a remote or hybrid work environment for staff.
    • QuickBooks Online allows you to pre-configure vendors' general ledger expense accounts. This helps with general ledger coding accuracy and consistency.
    • QuickBooks Online integrates with Rippling HRIS, Coast, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, etc., which lends well to an efficient month-end closing and reduced administrative time.

    Cons
    Mimecast
    • I would like to see better reporting for "Targeted Training"
    • Phishing Training Templates need to be more robust with the capability to spoof trusted domains.
    • Mimecast should also provide more Phishing Training Templates to customize.
    • To add custom modules to "Company Wide Training"

    • I dislike that the online bill pay option through QuickBooks is required for their invoicing.
    • The auto-fill portion of the customer setup, specifically the company name, is listed, but it also auto-fills in the name portion, which is inconvenient and time-consuming to remove.

    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
    Mimecast
    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.

    Beyond being overkill for a small org's needs, QBO is constantly stealing screen real estate and attention by hammering users for account upgrades, connecting to one of their approved consultants or buying add-ons. The idea of using a simple configurable bookeeping and light accounting interface is completely missing. At the very least, we should be able to hide functions like inventory that we will never use.

    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
    Mimecast
    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.

    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.

    In my experience, most representatives keep me on the phone for hours, literally, for a single issue and then usually cannot resolve it satisfactorily. I have 10 open cases that need resolution and, in my experience, there has been NO follow-up communication on any of them.

    Mimecast
    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.

    The person in charge of QB needs to be very accurate with record keeping and is recommended to stay on top of tasks. The biggest issue we have is reconciliation, and those issues occur only when too much time has occurred between reconciliations

    Mimecast
    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.

    As a freelance bookkeeper, the Desktop version of QuickBooks Online doesn't allow for ease of access from any device. Having to be on a computer with the software downloaded creates additional work to gain access to all required filings etc. Also, I personally find the linking functionality on the Online version to be much more streamlined and user friendly.

    Contract Terms and Pricing Model
    Mimecast
    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.

    Scalability
    Mimecast
    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.

    As we have grown along our professional path, we have also expanded our use of QB. The scalability is easy and features seem to be waiting for you until you need them. We have increased profits by over 10x from our first year in business to the current and have yet to find a reason to look elsewhere

    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.

    • QuickBooks has given us a relatively easy way to send out invoices quickly and efficiently.
