Product: Mimecast Advanced Email Security
Helpful onboarding and support, but limited against modern threats. Platform feels dated

The toolset is very comprehensive to the security functiona it carries out, from scanning malware, reading URLs and even QR codes. Particularly beneficial is that URLs are re-written, and are actively scanned when the link is clicked by the end user. if malicious, it is blocked immediately, and this works across devices, and whether inside or outside the network (we permit email on personal devices).

The platform does not seem to have kept pace with newer threats, especially AI-driven attacks. The gateway approach was effective in the past, but it now feels less capable on its own. It can also feel like customers are expected to purchase additional products or move to other offerings to address gaps in protection.
