What do you like best about Mimecast Security Awareness Training?

The great thing about the training was it was fun, short and sweet and too the point. The actors were hilarious and there was clearly a lot of thought put into each episode. I really like the idea of injecting humour into the security subject because the general impression is that email security can be dull and boring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mimecast Security Awareness Training?

What do you like best about Mimecast Security Awareness Training?

- The format: The Mimecast Awareness Training is based on short, scenario-based videos with live-action characters. The videos are entertaining and our staff love them.

- The cost: When we first saw the Mimecast quote with Email Security, we couldn't believe our eyes, it's very cost effective.

- Intuitive: When I started using the product, it was easy to set up and configure. The interface looks modern and is intuitive to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mimecast Security Awareness Training?

- Schedulability: While you can schedule a phishing campaign and videos in advance, there is no option to schedule a campaign on a recurring basis automatically.

- Lack or more advanced level topics: I'd like to see some videos that go over the characteristics that phishing emails contain and the general tactics of a threat actor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mimecast Security Awareness Training solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before we did any training, we sent out a phishing campaign to see where we were at. I wrote an email that looked like our CEO was sharing a file, and it was able to fool 40% of our users. After a year of biweekly Mimecast Awareness Training videos, we are now at an average click rate of 4.5%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mimecast Security Awareness Training?

Modules and security training that you can set as required tasks for your users to complete. It increases the level of security awareness across the enterprise so that users get better educated and informed about different phishing attacks and vulnerabilities.

Videos are usually short and informative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mimecast Security Awareness Training?

The level of support could be improved. Recently it seems that everything related to support has been lagging. Customer service is something that Mimecast has to work on, and it is something that needs improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mimecast Security Awareness Training solving and how is that benefiting you?

Short security awareness videos and training content greatly help non-technical users. Usually, those videos are short and do not take much time to watch. As a result, users get better informed regarding security shortcomings and vulnerabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mimecast Security Awareness Training?

The content of the training is short, fun, and informative. It's like a mini sitcom with characters that appear in multiple videos. My users engage well with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mimecast Security Awareness Training?

If there are problems you have to deal with Mimecast support; they are usually pretty good, but recently their response time has been poor. This also links into directory groups stored within Mimecast's backend configuration which isn't very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mimecast Security Awareness Training solving and how is that benefiting you?

General user awareness of Cyber Security Risks, we also needed training to comply with GDPR and Cyber Essential requirement - Traditional training platform can be long and boring, my users engage well with this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
