"Reliable Threat Detection That Boosts Confidence in University Email Security"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Mimecast Advanced Email Security?

The threat detection is reliable it catches phishing attempts and spoofed sender emails before they reach the inbox, which matters a lot in a university setting where accounts are frequently targeted. I also found the [impersonation protection / attachment scanning] useful for flagging suspicious messages that looked like they came from faculty or IT. Overall it gave our lab more confidence in email security without requiring constant manual monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mimecast Advanced Email Security?

Occasionally there were false positives a few legitimate emails, like ones from academic mailing lists or newsletters, got flagged or quarantined and needed to be manually released. The admin dashboard also had a bit of a learning curve at first before I got used to navigating the reporting and quarantine features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It’s solving the problem of phishing, spoofing, and malicious attachments reaching our lab’s inbox university accounts are a common target for these kinds of attacks since they’re seen as easier entry points. The benefit is fewer suspicious emails actually landing in front of people, which reduces the risk of someone accidentally clicking something malicious and saves time we’d otherwise spend manually flagging or reporting phishing attempts.
