Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Mimecast Advanced Email Security provides quick and efficient spam filtering, plus additional mail delivery customisation in a traditional mail gateway form.

Pros and Cons

Cloud based
Easy to use
Simple for users
Hourly spam digests

Speed of sandboxing can sometimes take time
Directory sync to O365 only 3x per day
Quite a few false positives

Return on Investment

Reduced risk to the user
Less phishing attacks in the inbox
Much less spoofed messages getting through spam

Usability

Great product and both admin and user portals are very simple and easy to use.

Impact

Yes, switched from Exchange Online

More control and better protection that Exchange Online Direct could offer. Still use O365 backend with Mimecast Advanced Email Security, but this is an additional security layer for us.

Alternatives Considered

Proofpoint Essentials for Small Business, SpamTitan Email Security and Bitdefender GravityZone

This platform wins from its simple to use interface for both admin and user, plus the super helpful implementation and POC teams who have no trouble in allowing you to trial and test any scenario before signing up!
