Most email spam filtering solutions degrade performance and drain IT budgets.

Spam is bad for business. While it may not seem as dangerous as a virus or malicious attack, spam threatens business productivity by causing users to have to sort through piles of junk email to find legitimate messages. It slows down message delivery by overwhelming message systems. And it degrades system performance by requiring systems to spend too many resources on processing spam emails.

Email spam filtering technology is available to address this threat. But most filtering products fall short. Either they require more administrative resources and costly expertise to implement and maintain, or they cause performance degradation at peak outbreaks and attacks and disrupt business with too many false positives. These shortcomings have caused many organizations to turn to email spam filtering services from managed service providers. But such providers often lack true multi-tenancy and a methodology for prioritizing good email over spam. As a result, these spam filtering solutions frequently result in a slow down of delivery times that can threaten productivity and business opportunity.

Mimecast delivers an email spam filtering solution that solves these problems and delivers highly effective email virus protection as well.

Mimecast offers highly effective email spam filtering.

Mimecast, a software-as-a-service company, provides unified email management solutions that include a reliable and affordable email spam filtering technology. Mimecast's solution solves the problems not solved by other solutions by employing a unique methodology for testing email that eliminates 98.5 percent of email spam. Most other filtering solutions test messages "on the disk" after incoming messages have been fully received. This requires significant amounts of processing resources and fails to prioritize legitimate emails over spam. Mimecast email spam filtering, on the other hand, tests messages "on the wire" while they are in the process of being received. As the very first packets are sent during an SMTP conversation, Mimecast looks for the earliest possible opportunity to either reject a message or prioritize it for processing. Bad messages are not written to disk saving processing resources for legitimate messages. And where other solutions have frequent false positives causing disruption to business, Mimecast has zero-based false positives.

A holistic approach to spam filtering and email management

In addition to email spam filtering, Mimecast offers additional solutions as part of its unified email management system. Mimecast email archiving solutions enable automatic email archiving and email storage for up to 10 years. Data leak prevention solutions help keep internal data secure and email continuity software delivers constant access to email.
