Carbonite Information Archiving vs. Informatica Data Archive (legacy)

Archiving is almost exactly what I'm looking for in a solution, especially now that it's fully rolled out to our users. The one pain point is the initial setup of the archive, which is a little lacking. Some archiving solutions simply need an administrator account to thread all of the old data in the inboxes. For Zix Information Archiving (ZixArchive), I must manually export a PST and send it to Zix Support for upload. I'd like to have users' entire mailboxes automatically uploaded into the archiver without several fairly time-consuming steps.

To manage users, go to the admin dashboard, here is a section for users. In this users section here you can see which users are configured and you have the ability to suspend a user. If you want to edit or add users, you need to go to the Organization section, then click on another user section there, which then gives you the ability to edit or add users.

• Recovery of deleted data.
• Retention of information from archive portal.
• Powerful search features.

• It's not a major problem, but it's an example of one of many small annoyances.
• Also, there is no proper documentation available

Incentivized

• Setup (would be nice to get historical data from before setup)
• Download a copy of a message instead of just delivering from within the individual message
• Integration of archive into other features (e.g., threat protection/tools)--the ability to get to the archiver's copy of the message would be nice

Incentivized

• No [suggestions for] improvement as such we amazed with the performance and the services
• Standalone not integrated with power center

Each time I have contacted support, I have had a resolution on the first call.

My company currently uses Hadoop for big data management, as well as ParAccel/Matrix databases for storing the data. The combo is fairly effective, and the only reason we are exploring ILM is because of our use of other Informatica products, and looking to build in either synergies between the technologies, or cost savings by bundling all our licensing through one vendor (Informatica)

• Supports our document retention polices.
• Allows for recovery of data easily.

• Tracking the usage of specific brackets of data across the entire organisation has now become possible.
• The team was already using PowerCenter. Therefore, using ILM was a very apt decision that allowed easier management of data at the organisation level.
