What differentiates Mimecast Advance Email Security from other similar products?

Mimecast is part of the market leaders for stopping BEC (Business Email Compromise) and also integrates with other cyber security provides such as Netskope, Crowdstike and more to share threat intelligence and IOC across platforms to stop bad actors in their tracks. Their platform is also extremely robust and allows for granular policies and configurations. They are also deeply integrated with other M365 products how to provide archiving and retention for MS Teams, OneDrive & Sharepoint too.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Extremely configurable policies and services to enable it to fit around how your business works and how internal and external people communicate with you.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Their roadmap has stagnated in recent years and they haven't been innovating as much as I've seen previously (being a 10+ year veteran of Mimecast across UK & APAC)

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Really understand what products and services you and your business need so that you select the right product package plus any additional addons you need, such as Human Risk Management, Cyber Awareness Training, CyberGraph and so on.

Excellent platform to stop Spam and Phishing

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Mimecast Advance Email Security from other similar products?

The cost to value ratio for the platform and the fit with our medium sized environment are the biggest differences from other vendor offerings we researched and demoed.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The flexibility and options we have within the administrative side and also what we can offer our end users in terms of managing their own email options. Makes a big difference to have a simple feature such as allowing users to release their own caught messages after they've been scanned and verified clean.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Lack of AI features that will improve phishing and social engineering email attacks.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Do you research on other platforms and make sure to not only demo each but actually run a trial if you can. Testing it and seeing how it works within confines of your environment and needs will make a world of difference.
