Why switching from Barracuda Sentinel to Mimecast is a smart security decision

Mimecast provides industry-leading solutions for companies switching from Barracuda Sentinel or seeking a Barracuda Essential replacement.

• Multiple indicators of impersonation/fraud compromise. While some companies rely only on DMARC to stop domain spoofing, this technology has yet to achieve widespread adoption and enforcement and consequently doesn’t deliver the fullest protection against impersonation attacks. Mimecast offers DMARC enforcement, but it also bolsters protection against fraud and impersonation with multi-layered defenses that block malicious URLs and attachments and successfully stop internal attacks.
• Support for hybrid environments. With Mimecast, organizations can easily secure hybrid environments, covering both on-premises Exchange and Exchange online, while many competitors only provide support for Microsoft Office 365.
• Easy management. Where some email security solutions are built from multiple acquired services that are bolted together and may require separate consoles to operate, Mimecast delivers a fully integrated solution built from the ground up to seamlessly deliver email security, archiving, continuity and compliance solutions that can be managed from a single console. Additionally, unlike solutions that only enable full domain policy application only, Mimecast’s granular policy options can be applied at the domain, group and user level.
