It gives clients peace of mind and helps them educate their users about threats
A few years ago, our team found the implementation to be somewhat challenging. It has gotten easier as we've grown more experienced. The difficulty depends on the expertise of the person doing it. I don't work with Mimecast every day, so it might be more difficult for me than it is for one of my techs who regularly does Mimecast implementations. It requires some specific in-depth product knowledge and an understanding of email solutions. The deployment time varies. In South Africa, it depends on who you use to deploy it. If you use one of Mimecast's local partners, it can take up to two weeks because of their process. However, it's only about four to eight hours of work. After deployment, there isn't much maintenance aside from supporting and educating your customers. Users require constant education on how to use the Mimecast client and release an email that has been blocked.

Has an easy implementation phase to deal with for users
I primarily use the product in our daily security operations since it is implemented in all of our company's systems and is used in our environment. Normally, email security tools like FireEye or Trellix help to protect ourselves from spam, malware, and other email-oriented threats. The tool is used extensively in our company's environment. It is more like a collaboration email security that is used in our company. Whether my company plans to increase the number of users of the product or not is something that depends on the growth of the organization. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. The product is stable and reliable, considering the results my company gets out of it. When it comes to Trellix or FireEye Endpoint Security (HX), the tools offer antivirus as well as the modern real-time security feature, which is used to automate the detection and protection of the endpoints against all the security threats that are currently there in the industry. I don't see any challenges with the integration part of the product, but since a different team manages it, I don't have visibility into it. In terms of the value offered by the product, the solution does help our company protect data and the complete infrastructure. I rate the tool a nine 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

"Mimecast certainly helped my customers reduce phishing emails."
"What I like about the integration is that it is directly into Microsoft 365, users can use their Microsoft 365 credentials to log into the portal and access their mail."
"Its administration console is very easy to use. The administration console is absolutely important because you interact with the platform through it."
"URL inspection works pretty well."
"The solution's performance is good."
"The integration is straightforward."
"The product's most valuable features are impersonation protection and phishing countermeasures."
"The biggest advantage of Mimecast Email Security is its spam filtering. Its filtering feature is interesting."
"FireEye Email Security is easy to use."
"The auto-remediation feature is valuable."
"We can control this solution from the cloud and are able to access it from wherever we are."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its simplicity. It's very user-friendly."
"One of the valuable features of the product stems from the fact that it is easy to implement the tool in our environment."
"The product protects my email."
"FireEye Email Security helps us prevent spam and phishing emails and all other business-compromised email attacks."
"The product helps reduce the number of malicious emails reaching the user's inbox."
 

Cons

"They could provide a unified licensing model, including all the security features."
"The platform's cost-effectiveness could be improved."
"The solution is complex and not easy to use."
"The attachment scanning feature doesn't work properly."
"We have subscribed to an archival service, and yet, when we have to get our data out, we have to pay a fee to get our own data. They charge an extraction fee."
"The product's interface could be improved to be more user-friendly."
"Lately, Mimecast's outbound mail servers have been regularly blocklisted by spam filters. That didn't happen a few years back, but it seems to be a more frequent problem these days. When a server is blocklisted, it means all of my outgoing mail ends up in the recipient's junk mail. That affects my reputation and business confidence."
"The solution's console interface was recently changed for the admins, but the previous one was much better because we could open tabs on it."
"I would like the solution to be able to automatically quarantine the malicious emails before getting to the user's mailbox and continue with regular email operations. This could result in the user clicking the email before the purge operation is completed."
"In general, our company should make the tool more robust to protect our systems."
"I would like to see this solution become more flexible."
"Sometimes especially zero-day spam emails can be passed to the user's inbox."
"The solution is not easy to set up. However, we have employees that have the knowledge that can do the difficult implementation. It would be better if the process was easier."
"The solution needs better support."
"FireEye needs single sign-on. They say it's on their roadmap. They should also implement support for Microsoft Authenticator app for 2FA."
"The reporting aspect of the solution needs improvement."

"We pay monthly fees to our provider."
"The licensing costs are per-user for the product that you get with them."
"I rate the product price as nine out of ten, where ten is the most expensive, and one is the cheapest. There is no need to pay any extra charges apart from the licensing costs."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The solution requires a license to be purchased for every user."
"The cost is very high."
