Mimecast is a Challenger in Gartner's Enterprise Information Archiving Magic Quadrant

Mimecast believes improvement reflects 12 months of sustained product innovation and customer adoption.


Johannesburg, 22 Nov 2013

Mimecast was a new entrant to the Magic Quadrant last year, and has since invested significantly in product innovation and seen strong customer adoption of its archive solutions. Mimecast is a cloud-based, e-mail archiving, security and continuity provider.

Matthew Ravden, Mimecast Chief Strategy Officer, said: "We have made significant progress over the last year in both product development and customer adoption for our archiving business. Our archiving solutions have extended this year, bringing benefits to IT administrators and compliance officers. It doesn't stop there. We have also brought the searchable archive to end-users at their desks and, importantly, securely to their mobile devices."
