Carbonite Information Archiving vs. Microsoft Exchange Online Archiving

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.

Native solution. No third-party integration is required. Rock-solid. Actually many features require no extra cost (unless you want to use In-Place Hold / Litigation Hold) If you use Microsoft 365's Exchange Plan, or other similar Microsoft 365 products, I don't see any reason why you should not use this.

• 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

• Only its training curve is not that short.
• To protective large amount of data may be trick to some users.
• The import of big data capability can be still be advanced.

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

One of the advantages of Microsoft Exchange Online is that it eliminates the need for users to use a variety of online tools and programs for different functions. With a single domain, I'm able to supply all my employees with cross-platform email addresses. We can simply sync our calendars, which makes it easier to work together.

Incentivized

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

• I think the solution does not produce a real impact in the organization
• I do not think that we have a real ROI
• It does not change the overall business objectives
