Carbonite Information Archiving vs. Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance

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.

Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance is well suited for organizations with a large amount of employees, in my opinion, as they have a lot of options for grouping users in various ways to send specific learning content to them. For a smaller organization, the employees might utilize all of the built-in training videos, phishing simulations, and content more rapidly, which would not justify the pricey cost of the tool.

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

• Email archiving. Being able to access, on the fly, your entire email archive. Being able to filter by date, sender, attachment, etc. It can get really granular and is able to pull up records fast.
• Targeted Attack Protection for all incoming emails. Having the ability to automatically scan, quarantine, or re-write URLs within emails. Comparing incoming emails to potential phishing attempts already seen by other institutions.
• Email encryption & automatic encryption are based on certain rules set up on the firewall. e.g. automatically encrypt outgoing email if it has an attachment or contains a string of numbers that may be personal information.

• 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

• Proofpoint Archive needs to be fine tunned
• Automate has to be more advance. M/L needs to upgrade
• Immutable data store needs to work well in all environments

It's hard to compare Proofpoint archiving and compliance to the rest of these products because I personally feel like they all integrate so well with each other. Using them all simultaneously creates a completed puzzle for our company that gives our users the power and the protection they need to stay safe in a world where threats are always around every corner. I can easily recommend the four Proofpoint products above and they all work well together.

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

• Eventually, we will be consolidating our archives into this solution. Having all archives in one location (from various migrations over the years) will cut down on admin time for legal matters, as well as not having to worry about duplicate emails from different archives.
• Admins will not have to search for emails that users deleted or can't find and now need. They can find their own emails.
• We can grant access to our legal team to run their own search and gather projects, which takes a decent amount of time off IT admins' plates.
