Thinking of Ditching Mimecast? Switching Over is Painless

Written by Jeremy Fuchs | October 28, 2020

So you, like many others, are thinking of leaving Mimecast.

We've seen many of our customers come over from Mimecast and they have all enjoyed better security with Avanan.

One thing we have found is that some are concerned about the process of switching over their protection and ensuring nothing gets left behind.

While Mimecast will offer no assistance in this regard, and will tell you it's very difficult, we're here to tell you it's actually really easy.

The key things:

  • Switch your MX records back to Microsoft
  • Remove Mimecast connectors
  • Export Allow/Block Lists
  • Switch EOP settings back to default

That's it!

Ready to switch? We've put together a detailed guide with everything you need to know about the transition process.
