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.

Pros

"Its administration console is very easy to use. The administration console is absolutely important because you interact with the platform through it."
"The solution is pretty straightforward to use and easy to set up."
"The piece that is most valuable from the Mimecast standpoint will be the sandboxing feature."
"The most valuable feature is the DMARC Analyzer."
"The solution's performance is good."
"It's good, it keeps the spam out."
"They do a better job of determining what's real and what's not than most of the other solutions we have tried, and it's been very painless to use."
 

Cons

"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."
"The reaction time between a new threat being identified and Mimecast picking it up needs to be narrowed a bit."
"The tool can be challenging because it relies on rule-based configurations, especially for addressing impersonation threats. This approach requires setting up numerous rules to ensure filtering. It should work based on behavior-based analytics."
"The product's interface could be improved to be more user-friendly."
"From an administrative point of view, Mimecast is a little bit cumbersome and difficult. It's not something that the end-user can easily find navigate themselves."
"They could provide a unified licensing model, including all the security features."
"The attachment scanning feature doesn't work properly."
"I did have a problem with Mimecast. That is why I was looking for an alternative solution because their sender IP address gets poorly rated by Microsoft."
"They have some areas that could be improved. For example, we also use this solution for email encryption, which was clunky and could be improved, but the email security itself has been excellent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product price is moderate. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The solution is expensive."
"The licensing costs are per-user for the product that you get with them."
