I find Mimecast Advanced Email Security incredibly convenient and quick to deploy and set up for our use. From an operational perspective, it helps us filter phishing and spam, and the management interface makes daily changes easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in particular, works as intended, few bugs on filtering adds but that is fine for us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Mimecast Advanced Email Security easy to navigate, which is refreshing. The centralized controls and straightforward threat filtering are especially effective, making potentially harmful content easier to identify and manage. The initial setup was also pretty easy, which I appreciate in any software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dont dislike any of it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI is fairly simple for users. Can easily reject and release blocked emails with different levels of approval/rejection. Easy to view emails and optionally display images. Easy to view blocked and permitted addresses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A little clunky in terms of UI, despite being relatively simple. Also difficult to understand different between bounced and on hold and rejected. Maybe needs a glossary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First of all, using the Mimecast Advanced Email Security Admin Console is very convenient and user-friendly. The latest update to the admin console has made it even more consolidated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, Mimecast Advanced Email Security isn’t able to detect and block well-targeted, organized email threats. As a result, end users can be more vulnerable to well-crafted phishing emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Strong AI-driven threat intelligence for blocking emails, effectively stopping phishing, malware, and ransomware before they reach users’ inboxes. User management is straightforward, and the integration with M365 is smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the things I dislike are that, at times, even genuine emails get blocked, and this needs to be reviewed and cleared by the admin. There is also a learning curve for admins when it comes to managing the policies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel less risk related to phishing and also I have the feeling that my spam emails are much less usual than they were before using Mimecast email security Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think I did not like it straight away and I think it could be simplified so that it is easier to get familiar with how everything works when adding it the first time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite thing about Mimecast Advanced Email Security is the relationship with our CSR, Brett Lenzi, who always jumps into support tickets, escalates them, and is a constant good-will advocate for us. I like how rules are easily configurable and the platform is always coming out with improvements. I appreciate the creation of custom rules to block new phishing patterns or suspicious domains and the ability to fine-tune filtering based on our specific environment, like by department. The intuitive rule building interface allows me to quickly make adjustments, and I find it valuable that we're continually working to reduce false positives via allow-lists and block-lists.

We really need an API solution - we are missing out on connecting some services due to lack of API integration - MX records are really a legacy method. Limited automation capabilities - we can't programmatically pull email security metrics into our centralized security dashboards or SIEM platforms. Manual reporting processes - security incident data has to be manually exported rather than automatically fed into IR workflows. Disconnected threat intel - can't easily correlate Mimecast threat data with other security tools to get a full picture of attack campaigns. User provisioning inefficiencies - onboarding new employees or managing departing staff, we have to manually update policies rather than integrating with our identity management system via M365. The mx record approach limited my ability to create the interconnected security ecosystem that modern organizations need. API connectivity would broaden the efficacy of the overall impact of email security within the security stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

very powerful and customisable, Microsoft native controls are pretty weak and lackluster comparatively. Good performance and pricing, nice to use UI as well. Integrated well and getting onboarding done was good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some scams still slip through. Admin UI is dated and clunky, policy sprawl gets ugly fast if you don't keep discipline, and pricing creeps every renewal. Also worth deciding if you want a gateway in front of M365 or an API-based approach behind it, that architecture choice matters more than the vendor itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mimecast Advanced Email Security stands out for its strong protection against phishing, malware and impersonation attacks while remaining easy to manage. The interface is intuitive, making daily monitoring, policy updates and threat investigation straightforward even for small security teams.

Implementation is smooth and well-documented, with minimal disruption to existing mail flow. Integration with M465 is seamless and features like URL protection, attachment sandboxing and impersonation protection work effectively out of box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mimecast Advanced Email Security is a powerful platform, the interface can feel complex at times, especially for new administrators. Some settings are deeply nested, which can make advanced policy tuning and troubleshooting less intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It offers a wide range of email security policies with a strong level of customization. We’re able to protect our environment against many different types of threats, including dangerous malware, phishing attacks, impersonation attacks, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface isn’t very intuitive, and it can be a bit difficult to navigate through all of the policies and find exactly what I need. Customer support has been hit or miss as well. Sometimes I get good support, but other times it’s been difficult and lengthy to get my issues resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
