We use Mimecast to archive emails and protect our enterprise from potentially unsafe or spam emails. We use it for the whole company to protect our valuable data. It addresses keeping our network and its data safe and helping to ensure communications are secure.

We use Mimecast Enterprise Information Archiving company wide. It was an asset during our migration to Office 365 where we were able to easily recover all our old emails from the Mimecast Portal quickly and seamlessly. Mimecast's archive is designed in such a way that you can recover important emails only in case you don't find the emails on Exchange after the migration.

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.

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. This is a relatively new product that has quickly become quite popular due to the extensive coverage it provides at an affordable price. Additionally, the extensive documentation that it provides makes it simple to put into practice.

Mimecast cloud archive is a great product used mainly to backup your cloud instances, databases, and documents. It works best for assets and disaster recovery. It's a rather newer product which has gained a lot of popularity because of its coverage and cost. Also, it is easy to implement thanks to its robust documentation.

I currently use Mimecast Cloud Archive within my organization to manage spam email filtering. It allows me to have more control of my inbox. All of my emails flow through that prior to hitting my inbox in outlook.

Currently, Mimecast Cloud Archive is one of the main components of the core operation as a cloud service that integrates with our on-premise exchange server. All mail is sent through Mimecast's servers as a gateway where a copy is kept on their servers for individual mailboxes, where it can then be accessed remotely to access older and recent emails and as a remote option to use the web and mobile client in a disaster scenario.

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.

Mimecast Enterprise Information Archiving is being used across our entire firm to archive all incoming, outgoing and internal email for 10 years. It permits us to limit the number of emails stored in our Outlook system while permitting full and comprehensive searching of emails both for existing users and users no longer in the current Exchange/Outlook environment. There are also tools for eDiscovery, legal holds, and other features.

Mimecast is used by the entire company and is our email gateway. We appreciate all the many features of Mimecast and the problems it solves. From security, to message archiving, search features, and support Mimecast does everything well. We started with message archive and secure messaging but have added other features, mostly related to security, since our initial subscription.

Mimecast has become an integral part of our organization. It solves 4 separate business problems and it does it very well. Our company is using it for all 4 of these situations:
1-It archives all of our email both incoming and outgoing.
2-It sterilizes our email for spam, viruses and other malicious content.
3-It allows our Outlook users, who have the Mimecast add-in installed, the ability to send and receive large file attachments.
4-It acts as a DR recovery for our mail solution. We host our on exchange server but if it goes down the users can login into Mimecast to continue sending and receiving email. We just used this feature when our power was out for 4 days after Hurricane Irma.
