Overall Satisfaction with Mimecast Advanced Email Security

The most common daily problems are spam and malware protection and Mimecast's advanced security filters, which block unwanted emails before they are sent to the recipient's mailbox. The second problem we face is Phishing and Spear-Phishing Attacks. Hence, email filtering and threat detection mechanisms also help to prevent malicious emails from reaching employees within our environment.

Pros

  • Impersonation Protection.
  • Attachment Sandboxing.
  • URL Scanning and Link Protection.
  • Regulatory Compliance.

Cons

  • Reporting and Analytics Limitations.
  • Complex Licensing Structure.
  • Limited Features in Continuity Mode.
  • Taking time to escalate to IT to release known incoming emails.
  • Potential for False Positives.
  • Complexity of Setup and Management.
Mimecast’s functionality is strong and reliable in performing tasks like policy management, threat monitoring, and email continuity. However, it can be challenging for users to configure and fine-tune advanced features, and additional training or expertise may be required. The centralized administration console is a significant benefit, providing simplicity in day-to-day management and efficiency in monitoring security metrics across the organization.

Scenario: I worked for a medium-sized company with a significant portion of employees working remotely. The company needed an email security solution that could protect users regardless of location while also providing easy access to emails in a secure and suitable manner; why Mimecast is Well-Suited: Mimecast’s cloud-based setup makes it highly effective for remote work environments because it functions independently of any local infrastructure and it does not matter where employees are working, the security policies apply consistently across all devices.
