If you are looking for an onsite solution, MailMeter does the job. Like any program, you will have problems on occasion, however the product is fairly stable. In my opinion, mail archiving is a service that's more suited towards cloud-based services rather than on premise. Much like a spam filter that runs on a Windows server, this product feels like it's from a bygone era.

Microsoft has a variety of models and tiers available to choose from. Depending on the nature of your firm, you should seek the advice of a specialist. Also, if you're like most people and use Microsoft Office, ask about it. Having the ability to collaborate online while still saving your documents to SharePoint increases your overall productivity.

  • MailMeter works fully with all versions of Exchange, including Office 365.

  • Content search and investigation of mailboxes without modifying a user's password (without the user knowing)

  • Time to restore the mailings
  • To change the characteristics of the archive I need to communicate with the administrator
  • When the administrator eliminates the mail account it also eliminates the archives created

Support Rating

Of the few times I've dealt with support, I felt like the people who were on the other end couldn't help me. Latest instance was with resolving a license renewal issue, they had to connect me to someone in Ireland and were on a tight schedule to help me during their shift. Come to find that I could not renew a license because their license server was down. In all it wasn't a good support experience, however unfortunately par for the course.

Probably an unfair comparison, but Mimecast has some interesting features that MailMeter does not. First, Mimecast is cloud, MailMeter is on-premise. Mimecast has all the same eDiscovery features that MailMeter has, however is also able to offer seamless archive stubbing into Outlook. Since you don't have to suck up resources on your local network, you easily save money spent on disk/compute resources.

The Microsoft Exchange Online Archiving tools are the best with multiple Cloud capabilities which enables the smooth running of all the data processing projects and securing entire business data and easy transfer of any data size across the Cloud services. Archiving functions are also the effective ones with great data analytical capability.

  • Is included with exchange online plans at no extra cost, so why not use it?
  • Has helped solve some specific user requirements eg auto-delete emails older than a certain age, and auto move emails from certain folders after a period of time.
