Mimecast renewal coming up? Get a comparison quote before you sign

Most organisations renew Mimecast with whoever first sold it to them, without ever seeing another price. Send us your renewal details and we will quote it like for like, check your licences still fit, and tell you what is worth changing. Whether you move to us or not, you sign knowing the price is right.

Like for like quote on your current products and term
Licence check for unused users, bundles and products
No obligation. Start around 90 days before renewal

What you get

What do you get from a Mimecast renewal comparison?

A like for like quote

Your current Mimecast products, user count and term, quoted on the same basis, so you can compare the number you have been sent with a real alternative.

A licence check

Whether the user count still matches your active people, whether leavers and shared mailboxes are being counted, and whether you pay for products or bundles you no longer use.

What is worth negotiating

Term, user count and the products in your bundle all move the price. We tell you which levers matter for your renewal before you sign.

Before you renew

What should you check before renewing Mimecast?

Seven checks, whoever you renew with. Most of the saving in a renewal comes from paying for what you actually use, and most of the leverage comes from starting early.

Count the users you actually need to protect, not the number on last year’s order
Remove leavers and decide how shared and service mailboxes should be licensed
List the Mimecast products and bundles you pay for, and which ones are switched on and used
Compare this year’s price per user with last year’s, and ask what is behind any increase
Decide the term you want, and whether a longer commitment is worth what it saves
Think about what you may add in the year, such as Aware or Incydr, and whether to price it now
Start around 90 days before the renewal date, so there is time to compare before the deadline decides for you

How it works

How does a Mimecast renewal comparison work?

Tell us the basics. Your renewal date, user count and current Mimecast products. No need to share the quote you have been sent.
We quote it like for like. A comparison quote on the same products and term, with a licence check and anything we think you could drop or should add.
You decide. Renew through us as an accredited Mimecast partner, with our team supporting the platform afterwards, or use the comparison to sharpen your current renewal. Either way, you know the price is right.

Thinking of adding to it? See Mimecast Aware for Teams and Slack compliance and Mimecast Incydr for insider risk. More on C4C as an accredited Mimecast partner.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I renew Mimecast through C4C?

Yes. C4C Group is an accredited UK Mimecast partner, so we can quote and supply your Mimecast renewal like for like, and support the platform afterwards. We will also check whether your licences still match how you use Mimecast before you commit to another term.

When should I start looking at my Mimecast renewal?

Around 90 days before the renewal date. That leaves time to check the user count and products, get a comparison quote and make a decision before the deadline makes it for you. Leave it to the last few weeks and the only realistic option is to sign what you have been sent.

Is there any obligation if I ask for a comparison quote?

No. Ask for a quote, compare it with what you have been offered, and decide. Some organisations move their renewal to us, and some use the comparison to make sure their current renewal is priced fairly. Both are good outcomes.

Will changing who supplies Mimecast disrupt our service?

The aim is that nothing changes for your users. Before anything moves we confirm with Mimecast how the change works for your account and the timing around your renewal date, and we tell you exactly what, if anything, you need to do.

Can we add Mimecast Aware or Incydr at renewal?

Yes, and renewal is often the simplest time to do it, because the term and the commercial conversation are already open. Aware covers Teams and Slack compliance and subject access requests. Incydr covers insider risk and staff pasting data into AI tools. We will tell you whether either is worth it for you.
