Overall Satisfaction with Mimecast Secure Email Gateway
Our entire organization uses Mimecast Secure Email Gateway; it handles all of our spam/junk email bounce/blocks as well as offers other features such as attachment threat scanning/blocking, anti-phishing measure (replaces URLs with a Mimecast URL), and DR continuity. Mimecast offers even more products and services at the perimeter but we do not use all of their features.
- Spam/malware blocking
- Allows you to customize rule sets for specific individuals, groups, or all staff
- Good support and an engaging user base that offers questions and solutions to issues
- The web portal for end users could be a bit more UI friendly
- Getting a message to pass through the Mimecast policies can be a bit long sometimes depending on how many policies are applied
- Definitely positive as it will get at least 80-85% of the crap that doesn't even need to make it to your on-premise (or hosted) email server. That's a lot of storage that you don't have to allocate or pay for.
I really love the cloud-based solution of Mimecast versus an on-premise add-on for the email server. It gives us more flexibility to make changes internally as well as offering a more robust line of services by leveraging the cloud infrastructure and allows us to move from on-premise to the cloud for our email in the future.
