We use Mimecase Cloud Archive to sift through, screen and manage emails, files and other content via our SSO process. This helps us secure our infosec and 3rd party platform exposure and vulnerabilities centrally. As the head of Procurement, I work closely with our tech team to get the right support tech stack in place, in the case of Mimecast Cloud Archive-it facilitates how I personally view the aggregated data across multiple platforms which I then use to inform Procurement decisions. Essentially as a BI tool for the tech data stack.
  • Archive and Data protection
  • Cloud Archiving
  • Data aggregation across platforms
  • synergy of archived materiel
  • Simplified data recovery
  • eliminate set-up fee
  • Not as intuitive an interface sometimes

Best if just implementing a new platform, or as part of a system overhaul where the work load is a sunk cost and resources are in place to help alignment etc.
  • Vast archiving capability
  • user search is good
  • easier to manage and scale
  • helps lessen need for active management
  • provides ability to scale flexibly

The Mimecast Cloud Archive is an excellent solution that is utilized for a variety of backup purposes, the most common of which are for cloud instances, databases, and documents. It is most effective for protecting assets and providing catastrophe recovery.

When used in these solutions, the backup of databases also works really effectively. Syncing and recovering data from cold storage is a very simple process. Compliance and oversight are two features that are quite beneficial when using controlled access. The recovery of documents and their expiration dates are also effectively controlled.

  • Efforts to retrieve lost data.
  • Discovery, search, and early case evaluation of data.
  • The backup and recovery of large amounts of data have become much more straightforward.

The product offering is comparable, while the price is significantly less expensive in contrast to those offered by rivals. Additionally, the solution offers simple indexing and recovery, and it is nicely integrated into a variety of different ecosystems. Connecting across different cloud ecosystems like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud is made much simpler by the availability of a wide variety of connectors and APIs, which make this task quite straightforward.

We needed to replace our previous on-prem e-mail archiving solution (Barracuda) with a could-based solution and do it in conjunction with our move to Exchange Online. After speaking and demoing all of the current best players in this space we decided to go with Mimecast as it just odes what is meant to do with no fuss and it works. The migration was seamless and the users took to it in no time.
We use it across the whole Company and users rely on it as it allows them to keep records of all e-mails and also helps us when we need to retrieve messages from employees no longer at the company.
  • Unlimited archive capability.
  • Easy to search.
  • Easy to manage and deploy/migrate to.
  • The search interface (in the Admin panel) could be improved and made more intuitive.
  • The search period in the Outlook Plugin can't be changed from the default of 1 year, this needs to be customizable.
  • Add the ability to send messages from the web Interface.
After looking at all the alternatives Mimecast is the best cloud e-mail archive in the market as it does all the things you would expect form an e-mail archive solution with no fuss. Add to this a simple interface and a simpler end-user UI and it makes for a very attractive product that your users will take to in no time.
  • 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.
As opposed to its competitors, Mimecast Could Archive is a product designed IN the cloud. The other products were all basically traditional appliances hosted in the cloud and come with many limitations that Mimecast doesn't have.
The ease of management and use of Mimecast is above that of its competitors as it's intuitive and efficient.
On the few occasions when we had to contact customer support, they have been responsive and acted on our concerns or issues pretty quickly, escalating issues to their engineers when needed,
