Why teams choose Zoes over Mimecast
A price you can see
Published per-mailbox pricing that drops as you grow - $5 a mailbox above 50. No sales call.
Nothing to configure
One admin approval and it runs. No policies to tune, no rules to write.
The attack type on every flagged email
Invoice fraud, credential phishing, impersonation - each dangerous email is labelled, so whoever handles IT knows what it was without a security analyst.
Nothing in front of your mail
No MX change and no gateway in the delivery path. If a vendor has an outage, your mail still arrives.

Questions
Does Mimecast require MX changes?
Its gateway deployment does: MX records point to Mimecast and mail passes through it first. Mimecast also offers an API deployment. Zoes is API-only, so delivery never changes.
How much does Mimecast cost?
Mimecast does not publish a price list. Packages and add-ons are quoted by sales or partners.
Can I run Zoes next to Mimecast?
Yes. Zoes checks what reaches the inbox after any gateway, so the two do not conflict.
