The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Mimecast.
- No pricing is published for any product or plan, and every route ends at a quote or demo request
- The platform is split into separately sold products for email security, awareness training, data protection and governance
- Collaboration threat protection, DMARC analysis, incident response and email archiving are all further add ons on top of those
