Like many companies, our email usage has grown massively over the last few years, mailboxes are becoming full and finding archive emails is becoming a nightmare.
While we do have plenty of storage space for large mailboxes we struggled to back them up every night and finding email from users that had left was problematic to say the least.
We recently moved to Mimecast, a SAAS provider that scans all our mail for spam and viruses. They also archive all our mail for 10 years and provide easy online search options for users to find old email.
They even have a outlook plug-in that works very well and allows users to find any emails sent or received (even internal)
To enable Mimecast to archive internal emails we did have to enable journaling on the server, which I know some people are against but our server could handle the increased load.
The support received by the Mimecast team was second to none, and the setup was run through step by step all the way.
No hardware is required to be held at our site and we have found the whole thing to be very reliable and painless – well done Mimecast..
