"This is a stable, scalable product that provides a reliable email protection layer."

"The solution is very easy to use, especially the cloud version which is very, very simple. There are some good templates already built-in, so we can just select the template, and you will get all the necessary functionality. The only one thing you have to do is point all your traffic in the cloud."
"The ease of use and the security offered by the solution are its most valuable features. It also offers good information protection."

"The solution's console interface was recently changed for the admins, but the previous one was much better because we could open tabs on it."
"We have subscribed to an archival service, and yet, when we have to get our data out, we have to pay a fee to get our own data. They charge an extraction fee."
"I did have a problem with Mimecast. That is why I was looking for an alternative solution because their sender IP address gets poorly rated by Microsoft."
"More things need to be integrated into this device, like DLP, so we can have a complete solution in one box."
"There aren't enough advanced settings. They should offer more advanced options."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see more user awareness, such as information about phishing email attacks that have been prevented."
"In the advanced version, you have DLP, Data Loss Prevention, but when you buy the standard version, you don't have it."

"The reporting functionality is in major need of improvement."
