[itdiscuss] Sunbelt Exchange Archiver

[Dan Barber]

Tony,
Actually, the Barracuda looks to be less substantial than Sunbelt in several ways:

*         For my 135 users, cost would be double, not only at purchase but also maintenance (need 350 model).

*         Sunbelt does not just archive the attachments, but compresses the actual body of the email, too.

*         Sunbelt integrates with Outlook search.

*         Sunbelt allows (through the add-in) a synched offline copy of the archive for laptops and those who work offline.

I think the positives for Barracuda:

*         No SQL requirement.

*         No windows to update/reboot (etc.)

*         Could be deployed in HA scenario.

*         Other policy-based features (like scanning for certain things and archiving based on that).

Not bad, but I think too pricey for our shop.

Dan

Dan, this doesn't answer your question (no, I don't use Sunbelt), but if you're looking at message archiving, you should consider the Barracuda Message Archiver.  As with all Barracuda products, it works, it's an easy install, and you get a lot for the money.  Not the fanciest product in the world....just plain, simple, and it works.  You could have it up and running within a few minutes of the time it arrives.
