SK
Easy to use with helpful email backup and search capabilities, but it needs to support SIEM integration
Integration with ArcSight would be very helpful. The user mailbox management is poor. For example, if I want to restore a complete mailbox then it doesn't keep the structure of the inbox intact. When the emails are restored, they are in a single folder that we have to extract and restructure. At times, the restoration doesn't work properly. It would be difficult to opt-out of the services because it would require the transfer of a lot of data from the cloud to on-premises storage. Technical support should be more available to the Indian market.

Todd Blake - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides peace of mind and expands well but needs a better interface
It's a hosted solution. I'm not sure which version of the solution Im on at this time. I would advise others to research all the options out there and see what the best fit is. We started this mailbox continuity project before we moved to Office 365. And now that we've moved to Office 365, we kind of don't need this piece of technology in the same way that we used to need it when we had an on-prem exchange. Therefore, make sure that you actually need it and then research to find the best options. Overall, I would rate the solution seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's easy to use."
"We're now certain business-critical mail is perfectly protected in multiple ways."
"Mimecast has some good support services in place."
"The security is pretty good, and that's why we're going to upgrade to an even more advanced package. We used it when we had a power issue, and it works. It has been pretty reliable, and the support has been quite good."
"The Large File Send feature comes in handy when you have to send fairly large attachments."
"It has all the features required for distribution, such as the ability to mail."
"The most valuable feature of Mimecast Mailbox Continuity is real-time alerts."
 

Cons

"The user mailbox management is poor."
"It's a little bit more expensive than the others."
"Technical support has been slower than it was in the past, likely due to the pandemic."
"The interface isn't the best. How everything works on the back end is confusing."
"The interface and the documentation could be improved. They can also include some more training resources and content like video. While setting things up, I had to search for the information quite a bit. It took me time to find the correct way to do something. The information is there, but it is sort of all over the place. They can create a better help knowledge base or help portal. It retains your email for 45 days. They can maybe increase this duration."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."
"The price of the solution is expensive. It can improve by reducing the price."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are satisfied with the pricing and the service is bundled so there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"They're a little bit more expensive than the others."
"The price of Mimecast Mailbox Continuity is expensive."
"Its price is in the middle range. It is a structured licensing model where there are various components that you can add or choose to add or not."
