Mimecast Cloud Archive is reliable enterprise solution

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros and Cons
  • Archive and enforce mail retention policies on on-premise exchange server
  • Integration with existing email system
  • Good web interface and mobile client to access and execute email functions
  • The policies to implement archiving integration are not very intuitive. It could possibly be improved in its implementation but it does work reliably.
  • The web interface for mail is a little more on the basic side, could possibly look to add more features over time to improve the user experience.
  • The process to get existing data into the archived mailboxes from another system is very time consuming and painful. Not sure if an easier way could be developed for this process as it was the way it was to eliminate errors and duplication.
  • Took a long time to migrate old archived data to this system, which could be a hindrance for people moving away from an existing platform.
Likelihood to Recommend
Mimecast Cloud Archive can be used as a key component of disaster recovery or a remote work plan. It cuts down on the need to spend more money on servers and storage to store old data. It can set automatic data retention policies to match the needs of an organization where required for compliance purposes or otherwise.
Return on Investment
  • Ease of access to old, archived emails
  • Fewer resources spent on maintaining infrastructure for old data
  • Automatically have policies and processes set up to take care of processing needs in the background meaning staff can spend time on other critical tasks
Alternatives Considered
I have only ever compared it to Barracuda's Archive One which is no longer available or supported.
Support Rating
7
It does a good job. The support team of the product was good and responsive and was also able to fix the issues I was experiencing at the time. It isn't perfect and takes some time to set up properly in the environment but once set up the product does what it is supposed to do which is what you are paying for.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros and Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
Return on Investment
  • 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.
Alternatives Considered
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.
