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.
