Likelihood to Recommend Well suited - 1. Quick archival esp in Google workspace apps. Very easy to archive and store important conversations, chats, etc. 2. Search and eDiscovery - Very important feature. Less appropriate - 1. Export - Very limited options and sometimes a cause of concern due to limited options post eDiscovery. 2. Integration - Very limited integration options and leads to the use of multiple alternatives or workspaces. 3. Archival post deletion - No option for this that leads to missing important elements sometimes.
Read full review AppRiver is great for both small and large organizations. Small businesses are unlikely to have much if any technical support staff available to them, for which AppRiver would be a great help. Likewise for large companies, having AppRiver can save your tech support team from dealing with basic, common, and repetitive application support, and allowing them to better focus on more important tasks at hand.

Suspicious emails can be viewed online in their sandbox to check validity before releasing from quarantine. Multiple ways to filter emails (domain, email address, text, etc) Link protection is one of the newest options available and we absolutely love it!! Read full review Cons More export options are available to the user, specifically allowing exported data to be imported into a new account easily The interface is very basic and easy to use, but the dashboard could show more information to make it more usable Read full review They do not support DMARC and DKIM at this time and I don't know when or if they ever will. Their SPF record is not great and can possibly cause issues, at least that is what my support company has told me. Scanning of links in emails seems super limited and or non-existent. THings get through with completely bad malicious all the time and I assume they are not scanning them or they don't have a proper AV on their end. Once a domain is whitelisted any bad emails that may be spoofing that email domain are let through and no other filters apply to the emails. It's frustrating to have to white list 20+ individual email addresses from a company and not be able to white list just the domain and not feel secure doing that.

Read full review Support Rating AppRiver's live support is above what I expected, and I use it exclusively. I always get a professional, courteous, and knowledgeable tech that is easy to understand within a few minutes of placing a call. If you do have to leave a message they have always promptly returned my call.
Read full review Alternatives Considered The product is similar offering but it is already well integrated into the other g-suite products that we use. It works really well in terms of searching and indexing documents. Other products seemed more elaborate and were complex to implement and use. Since our use case was rather simpler data backup and retrieval, hence it seemed a good fit to implement
Read full review AppRiver requires the least amount of management time, the pricing is better and the minimums are such that almost all SMB's won't be buying shelfware. If you are an MSP, become a partner and you will see spam problems become a thing of the past.
Read full review Return on Investment Positive ROI- able to conveniently store and access files/data that otherwise would not have been as organized. Not only makes my day more efficient but leads to a better client experience. Organized storage. Easy interface once you get used it it- give it about a month. Read full review Efficiency, teams adapt quickly to changes or new business needs. Support gives us alternatives on how to establish new timings for new business lines on email. An increase in profit owing to a reduction in the amount of assistance our in-house IT staff is required to provide. Read full review ScreenShots
