Mimecast is great for freeing up space on your network, especially in a company with a lot of employees and data being sent over email. It can be improved in that it often blocks emails that don't need to be blocked (including emails a marketing department is sending). It does a great job blocking senders and spam.

Given that Mimecast offers a bottomless archive, their archiving solution is best suited for organizations struggling with storage space for their ever growing mailbox. With the new sync and recover capabilities, you can use Mimecast's EIA as a DR for your mail service in case you loose data on the mail server and you want to recover it quickly to any point in time. Another great scenario is when moving to a cloud service such as Office 365. There is always fear of loosing data during this migration hence having Mimecast EIA would offer your company peace of mind that your data is safe.

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.

Mimecast Cloud Archive is well suited to archive emails, files, messages, and other content. In instances, it works really well to backup databases as well. One can easily sync and recover files from cold storage. With managed access it's really nice to have compliance and supervision. Also, document retrieval and expiration are well managed.

Mimecast Cloud Archive works really well for blocking out spam especially from solicitors trying to market to me and my organization. It does let things slip through and also holds up important emails from time to time. I don’t use it as much as I could for the archiving piece although their website interface is very easy to use.

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.

If you want to keep your production email system from getting bloated with old, out of date emails and want the archived emails to be easily searchable, Mimecast Archiving is an ideal tool. It is also completely cloud-based, so requires no additional infrastructure to implement it. If you are paranoid about storing your email in the cloud (albeit in a totally secure environment), then Mimecast is not for you.

Given all the threats that are out there and the fact many come in via email, I think Mimecast is a great solution for any business of any size. If your business is heavily regulated then you have even more reason to use Mimecast. You might be able to do a lot of these things yourself but why would you? Mimecast employees are experts, the best in the industry, at knowing how email works and how to protect it.

It is an enterprise product as such it is quite expensive and most suited for companies with at least 75 users and up. It would be great if you are hosting your own email environment but from what I understand the set is a bit hard if you try to use this with Office 365 or a hosted exchange situation. If you are in the business of needing email archives for a lot of legal situations, Mimecast can be your savior over and over again.
