OpenText Retain Unified Archiving vs. Sonian (discontinued)

We have had a couple of legal inquiries which required us to review emails for a user or users. Using the Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service, we have been able to perform searches quickly, narrowing or expanding the search criteria is easy, resulting in exactly what we were looking for. This has saved us with claims for collections, as well as a couple of legal HR matters. It is my trusted go to application.

• Sonian search is rightly praised for ease of use, scale, performance and accuracy.
• Sonian archive can be deployed rapidly without the need for costly professional service engagements.
• Seamless process to import PST files into the archive.
• Sonian has a high focus on compliance and governance which is reflected with their fast and accurate search function.

A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time. The incentive was not used to bias or drive a particular response, nor was the incentive contingent on a positive endorsement. More Info

• Speed is slow sometimes
• The Outlook plugin does not always find all emails when searching

It performs as expected with no exceptions.

We only need support when initially setting it up. We really have not had to call for user or help support on this product. It has always worked and is always easy to use.

Sonian is a pure SaaS solution and is easy to manage and use. It's cost effective and does exactly what it says on the tin
