Overall Satisfaction with Mimecast Cloud Archive

We use Mimecast Cloud Archive as a secure, scalable, and compliant email archiving solution across our entire organization. It plays a critical role in our data retention, eDiscovery, and compliance workflows by providing a tamper-proof repository of all inbound, outbound, and internal emails. It helps enforce retention and deletion policies automatically across the organization. The archive is searchable via Outlook and the Mimecast web portal, allowing employees to retrieve historical emails quickly without needing IT support.

Pros

  • Seamless Integration with Microsoft 365
  • eDiscovery & Search Capabilities

Cons

  • Customization of Retention Policies
  • Search Result Management and Export
  • User Interface
  • Cost Savings on Storage and Infrastructure
  • Reduced IT Workload
  • Strengthened Compliance and Risk Management
  • Importing legacy email e.g pst into Mimecast was complex and required professional services.
The Good:
End-user access is intuitive. Search performance is fast. Integration with Microsoft 365. Mobile app access.
The Room for improvement:
Admin interface can be confusing. Training or documentation
Pages load fast and UI response if pretty solid
Indexed archive provides very fast searches. Filters are pretty advaced and can norrow down searches quickly
Reporting is OK
Outlook plugin works great and the filters within are very useful.
Very High Availability with Rare Disruptions. Cloud native and with presence througout the world, Mimecast feels resiliant. During M365 outages, we pretty much alway are able to rely on Mimecast. System autorecovery is super great.
