Proof of the pudding
Unsolicited feedback• I must confess to being sceptical about Mimecast. However it
continues to surprise me and once you get into the searching 'groove' varying searches between key words, people names and e-mail addresses it is very good, effective and an excellent tool – Construction Law Partner
• I was worried about losing our Archive folders and relying on Mimecast because my experience of searching Mimecast is limited. However, I was delighted because I have been able to locate the exact e-mails I wanted very quickly and easily – Corporate Partner

Cost savings & risk management
• ROI in 1st year (£60K over 3 years)• Better utilisation of SANs – recovered 3Tb
space• Reduced size of Exchange db by 34%• Impose mailbox limits: no resistance• Relaxed policy on incoming/outgoing size limits• Focus on policy management not lifecycle
