What do you like best about Mimecast Advanced Email Security?

Mimecast Advanced Email Security does a good job of blocking phishing, malware, and impersonation attacks before they reach your inbox. The impersonation protection helps catch CEO fraud and spoofed emails. Setup is straightforward, and once it's running, it mostly takes care of itself. The admin dashboard has a lot of options, which can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but it gets easier to navigate over time. It’s not perfect—false positives happen now and then—but overall, it’s a solid option for keeping email threats in check. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mimecast Advanced Email Security?

One downside is that it can be a bit aggressive with filtering, leading to false positives that require manual review. The admin dashboard, while powerful, isn’t the most intuitive and takes some time to get used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mimecast Advanced Email Security?

Nothing good to say. The service has not only been useless but counterproductive since the day we installed it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mimecast Advanced Email Security?

1) It blocks an incredible amount of easily identifiable legitimate emails including clients, from family members and - this is the best - emails from the company that installed it on our servers. 2) It has ignored every whitelist request we've given it & 3) customer support is non-existent. I honestly don't understand how anyone with business accountability can allow this software to exist in their organization (we are removing it). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mimecast Advanced Email Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

It isn't solving any problems, it's creating them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mimecast Advanced Email Security?

The least helpful is the limited log and mail retention period, which is 30 days by default. The downside which faces is that granular filtration doesn't function as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It controls the chance of spam and malicious activity through emails and protects users' visits to suspicious or harmful links, knowingly or unknowingly. It also provides controls on authorized outbound senders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
