Barracuda provides better protection than Mimecast
Built-in Account Takeover Protection
Barracuda uses behavioral AI to monitor internal email patterns and login anomalies, detecting compromised accounts and automatically removing malicious messages.
- Mimecast lacks native account takeover detection and leaves you open to insider risk.
Automated Incident Response
Barracuda’s integrated incident response enables one-click remediation across all mailboxes. With automation and remediation playbooks, Barracuda provides complete Security Orchestration and Automated Response (SOAR) for email.
- Mimecast lacks full automation, slowing down post-delivery response.
Microsoft 365 Data Protection
Barracuda backs up Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams, ensuring resilience in the event of accidental deletion or a ransomware attack.
- Mimecast doesn’t back up your Microsoft 365 data.
Flexible Deployment Options
Barracuda supports inline, API-layer and MX-records based deployments.
- Mimecast’s deployment options are less flexible and complex to set up.
Barracuda provides more value than Mimecast
