Mimecast, Defender and KnowBe4

    We just implemented Mimecast for inbound/outbound scanning.  The installation was white-glove, and our tech was amazing in guiding us through the process. I think the system is a plus over Microsoft Defender.   

    BUT!  The honeymoon is over and now there are things I need to figure out that I didn't think I was going to need to do - because since I asked KnowBe4 if they played well with Mimecast - and asked Mimecast if they played well with KnowBe4 - and they both answered "yes" - I assumed that would be the case. It is not.  

    • The biggest issue is around which Phish Reporting Button to use - Mimecast or KB4.  It appears the answer is "yes."  I really want to avoid 2 buttons.  
    • Also - you can't turn off Defender (I can appreciate it) but I'd like to determine how much of it to turn off that I can.

    Any other folks make this transition and come to a somewhat happy balance of systems?  Did anyone switch over to Mimecast for Awareness training out of frustration?  

    @Brian Scott thoughts?
