We are an IT consulting firm. Some of our clients in Hong Kong, in the legal, auditing, or financial industry, need to keep all email data (regardless of deleted or undeleted) for at least 7 years. Since we host all our clients' email services under Microsoft 365's Exchange services, this native solution does the job and closes the loop for us.
  • 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)
  • Setting the role to use e-Discovery is frustrating. Although you're the global admin, you must assign yourself the role of e-Discovery manager in order to use it. Not even e-Discovery admin.
  • Assigning yourself the role of e-Discovery manager successfully, but does not reflect immediately. So you still get permission issues when doing a content search. You have to wait until the permissions propagate before you can access content search. No warnings whatsoever from Microsoft's success message. I was scratching my head off.
  • e-Discovery downloads must use Edge or Internet Explorer. Chrome, Firefox, and other browsers won't work.
  • In-Place Hold or Litigation Hold requires Exchange Plan 2, which doubles the price of Exchange Plan 1. Exchange Plan 1 does not come with this function.
Native solution. No third-party integration is required. Rock-solid. Actually many features require no extra cost (unless you want to use In-Place Hold / Litigation Hold) If you use Microsoft 365's Exchange Plan, or other similar Microsoft 365 products, I don't see any reason why you should not use this.
  • e-Discovery
  • Content search
  • Download the user mailbox archives as a PST file before deleting a user
  • Litigation Hold
  • Great investment. Basically the Microsoft Exchange Plan license (or equivalent) does all I need. It's only the configuration I have to perform.
It's a native solution, robust, and does my job well. Why do I need a paid third party product?

Before we started using Microsoft Exchange Online Archiving, we were looking for a platform that would allow us to archive important data and set up retention policies, all whilst keeping everything safe in the cloud (especially for the Accounts department). Microsoft Exchange Online Archiving has proven to be the best tool we could find for this purpose. It's easy to use, set up, and maintain. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone needing a powerful archiving platform for a very reasonable price (as of April 2022).
  • Retention policies.
  • Easy access and management.
  • Safe environment in the cloud.
  • Affordable.
  • Integration with external services.
  • Performance could be slightly better.
This platform is very well suited for departments with huge amounts of information that need some sort of archiving for compliance or future reference. More specifically, as in our case, Financial Departments can benefit greatly from the features that Microsoft Exchange Online Archiving provides. I'd also recommend it for businesses that are on a strict budget, as prices are extremely affordable.
  • Archiving data in the cloud.
  • Ease of use.
  • Good support.
  • Retention policies.
  • Better compliance.
  • Easier archive management.
  • Automated archiving.
