- Filters spam well. About 66% of our email is rejected and never hits user Outlook Mailboxes. There are very few times when a legitimate email is blocked.
- Catches malware-laden attachments. Mimecast catches the vast majority of these.
- Filters and blocks dangerous links embedded in email. Mimecast blocks almost all of these.
- The Outlook plugin is intuitive and works well.
- Has been extremely reliable. Virtually no down time.
- The user interface could be a little more intuitive on the admin side.
- Sometimes response times for accessing features via the Outlook features is slow
- Proper configuration to optimize filtering can require quite a bit of tweaking.
- It greatly reduces the amount of email we have to store on our systems and archive and the user time necessary to deal with garbage. Spam is rejected.
- Allows users to individually tailor most aspects of who they want white and blacklisted.
- Almost completely eliminates threats arriving by email in the form of malware, which is vital for reducing security problems.
- Requires no onsite hardware for implementation, thus does not require all the supporting costs and technical expertise.
Mimecast was the most affordable and comprehensive solution compared to the competitors, the easiest to manage and arguably the one with the most features and effective filtering. Most of our peer firms use the product and their reviews are excellent. We've had very few problem with the product since implementation, and improvements continue to be made.
