Original story (published on May 3, 2022) follows:

Mimecast is a British company specialized in cybersecurity services. The company also handles email management based on Microsoft Office 365.

Various companies rely on the company to enhance the security and robustness of their platforms. The company’s services are especially popular in the segment of online business.

That said, currently Mimecast platform and services are down or not working, which directly impacts the platforms of all its clients.

Mimecast platform down or not working

According to multiple reports, Mimecast users are currently unable to access its services. This negatively impacts all platforms that depend on the management of the company.

@Mimecast From the status page, there’s a United States B Grid that seems operational (United States Grid is Degraded – not working for us at all). Is there a way for end users to switch to the B Grid?

Since Mimecast also handles third-party corporate email management, platforms that rely on its services are facing significant delays in receiving their emails.

@Mimecast We are not able to log onto the site or access links in emails. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Mimecast users need their Mimecast ID in order to complete a bug report, but they can’t access it when the platform is down. So, some users request the company to remove the ID requirement to report issues.

@Mimecast can you please drop the requirement for mimecast ID when reporting a system outage. Can’t get to ID when your system is down. Thanks a lot!!!!
