Enhanced eDiscovery capabilities and streamlined compliance with helpful support
I do recommend Smarsh to our clients for its enhanced features and ability to meet regulatory requirements efficiently. Smaller shops have become more inclined to switch to Smarsh due to these capabilities. Smarsh has the ability to archive a wide variety of communication channels. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

Archives emails and files, providing indexes for searching the archives
The tool has had some scalability issues, but now that it's offered as a cloud service, it's easier to manage. However, setting it up isn't as straightforward as it used to be, and there may be limitations with the support provided during setup and testing. Also, the quality of support has declined in the past year.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Smarsh Enterprise Archive is its eDiscovery capabilities."
"The tool streamlines data discovery processes for compliance by setting up a gateway to copy every incoming and outgoing email to the archive independently of the mailbox. This ensures that even if a user deletes their mailbox, the emails are still available in the archive, making it a compliant solution for monitoring all incoming and outgoing emails. Additionally, it offers the ability to place legal holds on important emails."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Everything is in one console, including the security and managing the data there, such as mailboxes, email, et cetera - everything."
 

Cons

"Sometimes the automated reports do not show the organization’s name, which can be confusing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool is expensive, and I rate its price as eight out of ten. It might not be very expensive. However, comparing it with something that's free or already included in the price is challenging, like the Office 365 archive mailbox. Previously, this was part of the subscription price. Now, it's an additional cost, typically covered by departments like legal or compliance rather than IT."
