Overall Satisfaction with Mimecast Secure Email Gateway
We use Mimecast as our mail delivery point for the entire organization. Both incoming and outgoing mail is filtered and scanned through the service. It addresses the serious issue of malicious emails entering our environment. We find that it is a much more effective solution than what it replaced, which was a third party adaptation of spam assassin.
- Sandbox filtering of mail attachments is great, and we are alerted to caught items.
- Greymail tagging is useful to some employees.
- There have been issues of downtime or slow delivery, but we have not lost any mail.
- The initial setup is a bit counter-intuitive.
- We find that users now spend next to no time messing with spam.
- Periodic user interactions on emailed links keeps awareness high.
We selected Mimecast mainly based on their reputation. We also demoed SpamTitan and Proofpoint but found that each did not have all of the features we wanted. All three were improvements to our old solution, which was based on SpamAssasin. Do note that Proofpoint has different products with very different prices and pedigrees. We went into the demo expecting one product and being recommended another.
