Copilot CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 is ideal for large organizations, regulated industries, and companies leveraging email signatures for marketing. It ensures brand consistency, compliance, and effective marketing through centralized management and dynamic content. However, it may be less suitable for small businesses with the need of purchasing a minimum of 10 licenses. I think there is room to offer a package for smaller businesses with less than 10 users as they can still benefit from the professional display of signatures.

Given all the threats that are out there and the fact many come in via email, I think Mimecast is a great solution for any business of any size. If your business is heavily regulated then you have even more reason to use Mimecast. You might be able to do a lot of these things yourself but why would you? Mimecast employees are experts, the best in the industry, at knowing how email works and how to protect it.

Pros
  • Email design and layout
  • Apply different signatures by group or by user or go so far as to change it per recipient
  • Dynamic fields to pull user data from AD/AzureAD (phone number, job title, etc.)
  • Ability to add non-admins (usually marketing) to help manage the signatures

  • It archives every email into and out of your enterprise including mail between internal users. This provides a legally acceptable archive that we can access at any point to find emails whether we need just one from a year ago or a lot to enter into a court case.
  • Since we have our MX record pointing to them first, they host all of our email in the cloud so users can access it even in the event our local email repository is down. We used this feature quite well during this past years Hurricane season.
  • Mimecast has a feature that allows me to sandbox all links, in emails, before users are redirected to them. This has saved us several times in that users clicked on links they should not have but Mimecast intercepted the request and stopped the user from going to the site.

Cons
  • Changing font type and color doesn't work as expected when editing multiple lines in the simple editor
  • The custom scheduler lacks the option to recurrently schedule yearly events, e.g. the yearly Christmas signature from Dec 15 to Jan 15.
  • You can preview a signature with real user data when editing the template, but you cannot preview a signature based on multiple rules combined like a regular signature followed by a marketing banner and then a disclaimer.

  • Provide the option to select the home screen/page
  • Provide the ability to search only using a time range in the case where no keyword or sender can be remembered (can limit search period to 3-6months)
  • Allow the user to be able to reset their own password themselves

The solution is pretty much set-and-forget. It does what it needs to do, nothing more, nothing less, and it does it very well.

The system does what we require of it and the support is good. No need to replace it at the moment.

Usability
The implementation of the application was very simple. With just a few clicks, the Outlook add-in was rolled out and the first signature was assigned to a test group. From that point on, I was able to familiarize myself with the product very well with my team and get a feel for how we carry out a smooth onboarding. In the meantime, all our employees have switched to CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 and send every single email with the correct signature. Administration is very easy for us. Adding new people to the signature groups works smoothly. We recently changed our entire signature to a new format. Within a few minutes, all our colleagues had the new signature, even without restarting Outlook. The product has shortened our daily support many times over and we are happy to be able to continue using it in the future.

The archive is easy to use and the searching is highly customizable. You can easily search based on timeframe, sender, recipient, words, phrases, and attachments. The ability to search keywords within attachments, body, and subject line is incredibly helpful. We're able to quickly and easily find what we're looking for.

There is never an issue. Everytime I have needed to access my own personal search archive or globally search across the whole business it works each time. I cannot recall a time where the service was down when needed to be used and all our staff use it daily.

The stability of the tool is the biggest factor, it has a fantastic uptime and the loading speed is exceptional. Long gone are the days of waiting for Outlook to open up a traditional PST archive, I can simply click, find what I need and go, usually, before outlook has opened the archive. It is an exceptionally efficient tool.

Support Rating
No problems but we had a couple of questions about functionality or edge use cases and anytime I contacted CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 support I was absolutely happy with their responses. Very helpful, polite and smart people are working over at CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 support. I would suggest other companies to take note on CodeTwo Email Signatures 365's quality of support and service.

It does a good job. The support team of the product was good and responsive and was also able to fix the issues I was experiencing at the time. It isn't perfect and takes some time to set up properly in the environment but once set up the product does what it is supposed to do which is what you are paying for.

Implementation Rating
It is important to make sure Active Directory is correctly populated and that content is standardized, eg telephone number formats.

We used Mimecast professional services for the implementation and it was flawless as we were migrating from a competitor's product. The only downside was the amount of time required to ingest all the data as this was coming from a few different sources and in some cases it took months to migrate and index all the content. Apart from that the process was very well guided, with plenty of communication all throughout and without any major issues or downtime.

Alternatives Considered
Previously, we had a local signature script that distributed the signatures centrally. This script had to use a complex process to retrieve the HTML templates and fill the placeholders. What's more, the tool only worked for Outlook on Windows - no other operating systems, applications or mobile devices. We also tested other signature software. In terms of simplicity of administration in connection with the price-performance ratio, nothing could keep up with CodeTwo Email Signatures 365.

Mimecast gave us some extra features that we believed were beneficial to our business. Removing the archive from the Microsoft hardware was also good to allow separation. Plus, adding the optional exchange backup made Mimecast a clear choice.

Return on Investment
  • 100% adoption within the business in less than a week
  • Significant feedback from our staff on how professional the styling and format looks and the ease of use
  • this will save multiple hours of IT administration effort (in the region of 2 hours per week) for signature management historically due to the centralised nature of the platform now

  • Before we enabled our Mimecast archive, we had multiple cases of users who had 10k+ emails "disappear" and could not find them. Trying to figure this out with Microsoft is near impossible. IT spent 5-10 hours on each situation trying to find, recover, and move the emails back into the user's mailbox.
  • A couple term cases happened as well where the user deleted everything in their mailbox and recoverable area had be cleared automatically by the time we found out. One of them would have been 28k emails and would take days to recover.
  • Since having Mimecast, it is a matter of going to the mailbox in the Sync and Recover and clicking a few things and restoring all the data. Super easy and restoring the data takes less time than manually doing it with a Microsoft Content Search export.
  • We are talking a few minutes vs 5-10+ hours.
