  • 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.

  • Far less expensive alternative to an on-premise email archiving solution.
  • Has permitted us to easily locate essential email communications that are years old, but are essential to produce for legal or administrative reasons.
  • Does not require any user overhead to capture and store all email that transits the firm's production email system. Users spend zero time deciding what to archive since ALL email is archived.

  • 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.

  • One large positive impact is that it has removed the need to manage email archiving (think .pst files!). The .pst files were always becoming corrupt and they were hard to manage for both IT and the users. That is a thing of the past now that we have Mimecast.
  • Having all the archived email in one place as has given us a positive ROI in that users can now spend less time searching for older email (through multiple .pst files) and can move on to more important issues at hand once they find what they need in Mimecast.
  • Having Mimecast at our border, protecting us against malicious links and attachments, is an ongoing positive ROI in that it has surely saved us from at least one bad viral like situation.
  • Finally Mimecast has given the company a positive emotional ROI in that users now feel comfortable with the archiving solution and are quite happy with the company for offering the Mimecast capability to them when it comes to finding archived information.
