We use Barracuda Message Archiver to keep a copy of our users' emails, both inbound or outbound. Our goal in using it is that from a compliance perspective, we can provide access to our auditors. It provides a safety net for retrieving emails to meet public record retention laws.


It also allows for e-discovery, where we can search for emails. It also acts as a backup solution in the case that someone accidentally deletes data, email, or an entire mailbox. This tool gives us the option to recover it really quickly. It usually just takes us a few minutes to find what we’re looking for. The solution also completely solves our requirement to search all emails for open records requests.


The solution provides a simple web interface and an Outlook plugin. I like that it's a set-and-forget solution. Once you have it configured and running, it ingests all emails with whatever retention policies you’ve configured.


Retaining and recovering emails using the Archiver has saved us a lot of time and effort. In addition, this solution allows us to check all of our compliance boxes with confidence.


I also appreciate the fact that it’s so simple - you really don't need any special training to set it up or use it. We integrated it into our email system in about an hour. It was really easy to implement. Lastly, it comes at a lower price point compared to other solutions.

What is email archiving? Email archiving is the process by which the data contained within emails is saved and protected in order to enable fast retrieval when necessary. When an email is archived, it is retained for indefinite periods, serving as a historical reference outside of backup cycles. Different from email backups, email archiving is not a copy of data, but rather is inactive data that is kept and stored. In addition, email data stored by email archiving software can be used to...
