Good scanning,very few false positives and searchability is invaluable for SARS etc. Use its archive functionality almost daily and was very easy to implement.

Balancing Security and Usability - Mimecast's Strengths and Challenges
What do you like best about the product?
Overall, I value the security, flexibility, and user-friendly nature of Mimecast Advanced Email Security. It is a powerful tool for protecting email communications. It allows me to set customised policies that align with my firm's specific needs. Whether it's scanning attachments, monitoring URLs, or filtering emails based on specific content, the flexibility is excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mimecast sometimes flags legitimate emails as suspicious, leading to delays in communication. While it’s good at catching threats, managing false positives can become tedious.
While the interface is generally intuitive, new users can face a learning curve, particularly in understanding the more nuanced security policies and tools within the platform. Training or familiarisation may be required to fully leverage its potential.
There are some advanced configurations that can feel quite complex. Setting up intricate rules can be more time consuming and require more expertise that expected.
