Overall Satisfaction with Mimecast Secure Email Gateway
Mimecast Secure Email Gateway is being used across our entire organization for e-mail security. The security solution covers both desktop and mobile clients. Being in the defense industry, a lot of very sensitive information is transmitted via e-mail, and to ensure that this is securely done is very important. Protection against unsafe links and phishing is another key problem that Mimecast solves.
- Runs relatively unnoticed in the background, not interfering with daily tasks.
- Has a very powerful search feature.
- Has a very intuitive management console for users to manage blocked addresses, their online inbox, and various other configuration settings.
- Requires each device used with it to be enrolled to open links. This enrollment is removed every time cache is clear.
- Links that are opened in e-mails are first scanned, and then the user is asked to confirm that they think the link is safe, and then only do you possibly get access to where the link is pointing.
- Sometimes Mimecast will place e-mails on hold, without sending a notification, resulting in delayed delivery. This can be avoided by working within the online mailbox and keeping a look-out for held mails.
- The number of phishing attacks on users has drastically decreased.
- The number of links being opened by users has decreased due to less of the infected and nefarious links being allowed through the gateway.
- Virus infections have decreased due to incoming emails being cleaned, or rejected before they reach the company network.
- Mail delivery time has increased slightly due to the extra hurdle that each incoming mail has to clear.
