Azure StorSimple vs. Intradyn

Onsite storage needs and backing up to Azure.

Intradyn works well for a small to medium business like ours that just needs to keep an archive of every email sent or received throughout our organization. It's easy to search for emails, whether you're looking for keywords, sender, recipient, subject, body, header, etc. The Outlook plugin works well for end users.

• Outlook plugin is great, but I wish it could somehow update user passwords when users change them via Active Directory. In our environment, users have to change their AD passwords every 45 days, but the Outlook plugin doesn't capture the change, so the next time the user tries to search the archive via the plugin, the plugin doesn't work. Since our users aren't accessing the archive that often, they easily forget that they've changed their password since they last accessed the archive and need support.

If I wanted to use just onsite storage the StorSimple device is already paid for.
