What do you like best?
First off the UI is clean and intuitive, we were an Office 365 Exchange in the cloud shop, navigating their security and mail flow portal was brutal. Secondly, Office 365 spam and malware blocking can't hold a stick to Mimecast's out of the box rules, which can be tweaked to fit most any use case you can think of. In our first week of implementation, we discovered hundreds of malware files that Office 365 was just letting through.
What do you dislike?
We have had some difficulty getting an impersonation rule configured to needs but I believe mostly it was more of a learning curve to figure out how Mimecast uses regex to parse an email which seems to be slightly none standard. With a decent amount of trial and error, I believe we are satisfied with the result and it has already proved to be more efficient than the rules we had set up in Office 365.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
One of the biggest problems most companies/organizations face when it comes to email security is, Phishing attacks and Mimecast has proven that when it's done right it makes your life a whole lot easier. We have also found a huge side benefit/issue we didn't know we had, with Office 365 a users account can be repeatedly attacked using SMTP in a brute force attack with little to no knowledge on the company/organization knowing, these compromised accounts would then, in our case, be used to send massive amounts of spam/phishing emails from our users accounts. The Mimecast Soc has helped up detect and remediate tons of accounts with the for w=few days of implementation and continues to find more every week.
