Mimecast has been positioned as highest on ‘ability to execute’ in the Leaders quadrant.

Neil Murray, chief technology officer at Mimecast, commented: “We have invested considerable time and effort into leading the industry in email and data archiving technology, and doing this completely in the cloud. Unlike many of our on-premises or hosted archiving competitors, we designed and built a cloud service able to scale to meet the storage and protection requirements of customers of all sizes. We also allow our customers to combine their archiving, email security and continuity requirements into one, fully-integrated cloud service.”

Mimecast offers a search SLA of seven seconds – ensuring desktop and mobile users can quickly find business critical information when they need it.

Gartner also pointed to a marked move toward the cloud, stating: “Archiving as a service (aka cloud archiving) has rapidly surpassed on-premises archiving as the preferred deployment model for most organizations. Gartner sees 60% to 70% of new replacement email archiving implementations as being cloud-based.”
