Overall Satisfaction with Mimecast Secure Email Gateway

Mimecast is used across the whole organization. We take advantage of many of its great features. For example, email first flows to Mimecast servers before they hit 0365. Mimecast has an array of rules that weed out people trying to spoof domains, or spoof emails that look like they are coming from say our CEO (anti-whale phishing) it checks our and redirects any links looking for malware. It also detonates and checks out various attachments for malware, macros and other bad stuff.

Pros

  • Very straightforward and well documented setup!
  • Good whitelisting
  • Good rule set for tailoring it to your needs.

Cons

  • I'm not a fan of their interface yet, the new one is better... but still
  • Getting archives out takes for ever
  • It is a complex product, so more training resources is always appreciated!
  • Peace of mind for email filter \ attachment scanning
  • Peace of mind for always up reliability
  • Peace of mind for archiving
It works very well for medium to large enterprises who want someone to help filter the deluge of spam, malware, spyware, macros, phishing, and crypto locking junk that is flying all over the internet these days. Having email up in the case of an internal outage is great for peace of mind.

It might be expensive to smaller companies.
