    Streamlined, accurate inbound threat management, with fantastic email archive search and retrieval features.

    My organization has over 10 years of archived emails stored in Mimecast. This makes it very easy to search for and find communications dating back years, across multiple former and existing employees. The archive search is fast and efficient, and the automated weekly and monthly email monitoring reports and administration screens are detailed. Classification and control of inbound spam and malicious emails is one of the main benefits, offering us protection against the main source of inbound threats.
