Mimecast Advanced Email Security vs. RMail

Mimecast's advanced email security remains the number one security tool available for any organization. You will be ahead of the game before anything gets in and users start clicking. Users are often the ones who can disclose sensitive data and compromise the organization and its brand.

RMail is perfect if you are looking for HIPAA complaint way to send patient information securely. The tracking of each message is required by HIPAA, and it is also supplied by RMail. Also, you can submit an email for electronic signature, which saves a ton of time waiting for snail-mail. Our clients tend to love RMail, because they're usually changing from something else that ends up generating a lot of calls from people who can't open their emails - RMail solves this by utilizing the TLS technology

• Simplicity: Once set up, Mimecast Advanced Email Security is easy to use, intuitive, and simple. This reduces onboarding time with new employees.
• Robust Audit Trail: Being able to see what happened with specific emails, why things happened, and who was responsible for them helps to reduce troubleshooting time as well as improving overall email observability.
• Clean Interface: Mimecast Advanced Email Security is a Swiss-Army-Knife of email security. There are many different configurations and complex rules that can be implemented. To make this manageable Mimecast Advanced Email Security has implemented a simple and clean UI. Being able to favorite commonly used features makes a huge difference in usability.
• Simple SSO Integration: This seems like a no-brainer, but its odd to see how many SaaS products either don't support SSO, or make it so complicated and convoluted that setup and maintenance becomes a fully time job.

• E-mail tracking.
• Providing a detailed record of receipt.
• Providing digital timestamps as to when messages are sent.
• Recording responses/replies to certain e-mails.

• I would like to see some additional improvement around the attachment protection, specifically what may be getting caught and what types of files are attempting to be delivered via email by impersonators.
• The Targeted Threat Protection is a great product, and I wish there was a dashboard for this service where we could easily see the types of emails and/or links that have been caught as part of the protection module that could be shared with executives.
• Finally, I feel that the phishing protection is great and honestly don't believe there should be much improvement needed there.

• Some Gmail add ons/extensions don't work with RMail.
• I'm not sure it can be integrated with gmail without Chrome or Outlook.
• More features would be cool.

I gave a 9/10 rating because with the 1 limited resources needs a bit of experience to work on the dashboard, and then Strong protection policies, reliable email continuity and proactive threat intelligence.

I don't think RPost has any competition, at least none that I can use. I think that once registered email becomes widely accepted (someday soon?), it will be indispensable for anyone in business, and RPost is the leading vendor (maybe the only vendor).

As an admin it's fine, the console has some slightly annoying quirks (having to to go all the way back to the top when making changes rather than being able to just go up one level for example) and the object orientated nature of it takes some getting your head around how it thinks. But generally speaking it's decent enough once you've used it for a couple of hours

It is as simple as downloading a plug-in or installing a chrome extension, then you click a button to use it. The interface is straightforward.

Overall, it's very good, but I do remember a few times in the past year we have seen some availability issues.

Pages need to consistently load quickly. Sometimes good, sometimes not.

Works well routinely without problems.

When calling them you get best in the world customer services but as previously mentioned their online community and capabilities are a bit lacking. They want you to log into their portal to see updates on issues (vs. using a public facing service) and I rarely find the answers to my issues in electronic format. Their online presence is only helpful with the simplest of issues.

Support is easy to access via email or phone. They also reach out to you periodically with new features, but they aren't intrusive about it. I usually appreciate it when I get an email from RMail, which is not very often.

We did not have in-person training. All was done through meetings and on phone.

Training was good from Mimecast as well as the Mimecast knowledgebase.

Easy to set up and configure, but did have Mimecast assistance.

Works great.

Mimecast Advanced Email Security is FAR superior. Sophos practically gave us the email for free and we still didn't want it. Sophos also does not do both Gateway and API properly. Mimecast Advanced Email Security's AI-Powered net is next level.

RMail has an add-on module for e-signing documents, but Adobe Sign's is just easier to use. However, if I need to combine sending an e-mail that has to be tracked along with an e-signed document, then RMail clearly wins out over using Adobe Sign. The latter is designed to track electronic signatures only, not to track when e-mails are received.

The solution continues to grow and add features.

• We've had to beef up training and other email security tools because we get too many spam and phishing emails still with Mimecast Advanced Email Security in place. This is costing us at least an extra 15% annually in staff time and tooling than it should.
• We have been pleased with data loss prevention with Mimecast Advanced Email Security, it does identify PII and auto-encrypts emails with PII effectively.
• It does have the ability to integrate with other security tools via API, which is beneficial.

• There's not much ROI, because we don't get it much cheaper than the list price.
• However, being able to offer this service strengthens our service offerings.
