Overall Satisfaction with Mimecast Secure Email Gateway

Mimecast is used as the primary spam filtering software for our company. Mimecast protects our main mail services by being an intermediary between our company and the outside internet. We then go further and only permit Mimecast to send our company email directly. Furthermore email is smarthosted out of the Mimecast gateway, so our customers can be assured clean emails.

Pros

  • Anti-Spam.
  • Anti-Malware.

Cons

  • Death by details - admins can screw things up easily when it comes to advanced message routing.
  • How-to's to train users/admins on more difficult functions.
  • Moved cap-x to operational expense by not having to purchase an appliance.
  • More secure email, less people infected by worms and other items than prior solutions.
Proofpoint was a solid competitor, but in the end, way overpriced for what we're trying to do. Mimecast was set up within a day and ready to rock and roll. Configuration guides made the process incredibly easy for cutover, and used them to cut our systems over easily to Mimecast.
US-based English-language support - amazing! Don't find this often, but I'm very happy they have it!

Would you buy Mimecast Advanced Email Security again?

Yes

The product is best used for medium and larger businesses with more than 100 people. It's not cost-effective for less than 100 users.

It's good for any company that wants to block spam before it gets to your on-premise servers and end-users. Their anti-spam engines are amongst the best in the business. The number of customizations on sending and on-premise delivery available can be mind-boggling at first, but are incredibly powerful to get your messages to the right place.
