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.

RMail is great for sending emails with information that is sensitive but that the recipient is not going to put a lot of work into retrieving. I do psychological evaluations for criminal courts and I use it to send reports to courts and attorneys. I need to use something compatible with HIPAA privacy rules, which courts and attorneys are typically not as concerned about. If they had to use a password or go to an outside web address to retrieve the email, they wouldn't do it. It's also common for an attorney to say they didn't get an email, but I always know if they did or not, and I have clear documentation of it, which is important in legal cases.

Pros
Microsoft
  • Great granular-level management and backup of all Microsoft 365 mailboxes
  • Content search and investigation of mailboxes without modifying a user's password (without the user knowing)

RPost
  • Read receipts tell you the time a message was actually opened
  • The electronic signature feature is nice, and usually not included with these types of services
  • Many times, a recipient doesn't need a password to open their email. RMail leverages TLS technology in most cases
  • Recipients do have the option of creating an account, but generally they don't need to
  • Outlook integration is very easy to set up
  • Gmail integration within Chrome is pretty amazing

Cons
Microsoft
  • 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

  • Program plug-in crashes on occasion.
  • Issues can arise if your computer's clock is not synced to RMail's time servers.
  • Setup was initially tedious (but has gotten much better since 2019).

I don't think RPost has any competition, at least none that I can use. I think that once registered email becomes widely accepted (someday soon?), it will be indispensable for anyone in business, and RPost is the leading vendor (maybe the only vendor).

It is as simple as downloading a plug-in or installing a chrome extension, then you click a button to use it. The interface is straightforward.

Support is easy to access via email or phone. They also reach out to you periodically with new features, but they aren't intrusive about it. I usually appreciate it when I get an email from RMail, which is not very often.

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.

RMail is really useful when wanting to send important encrypted information, and have control of what happens on the other end. It also comes with a complete set of features that help in any other way you can imagine. I've been through other products, and nothing compares to it.

Return on Investment
Microsoft
  • 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.

  • There's not much ROI, because we don't get it much cheaper than the list price.
  • However, being able to offer this service strengthens our service offerings.
