GFI MailArchiver integrates with Microsoft Exchange to archive and manage email by using auditing functionality. A good choice for archiving as it requires very little administrative effort and reduces reliance on PST files.
GFI MailArchiver eliminates the pains of PST file management by reducing a company's dependency on those files. All email is stored in a central location that is easily accessible using a Web browser. The PST migration tool ensures access to email messages stored in old PST files on users' machines.
Using the auditing feature, management can access any email that is requested for eDiscovery compliance purposes and GFI guarantees that these email messages have not been tampered with.
With GFI MailArchiver, network administrators can manage and reduce mailbox quotas on Microsoft Exchange server, reduce reliance on cumbersome PST files, archive email into one or multiple databases and avoid complex backup plans to copy PST files from each employee's workstation.
Employees can access email from anywhere in the world using their Web browser and retrieve old and deleted email messages on demand, including full threads and conversation.
Management benefits from GFI MailArchiver with access to email if required for discovery and compliance purposes, as well as internal inquiries and employee monitoring. It serves as a safeguard in customer lawsuits and auditing functionality guarantees stored email messages are genuine and uncompromised.
