Data can be restored to a different server or mailbox, if necessary for auditing purposes. The iRows toolbar and menu system had no support for creating formulas.
You can track every change to some accounts, while keeping only the latest copy of other mailboxes, but only by spreading the accounts across separate stores.
Surprisingly, Zoho handled the tables just fine, but lost out on the margins and styles a bit.
Archiving can be driven by fine-grain policies, but policy is applied on a per-store basis. Neverfail Group offers a variety of application modules other than Exchange, including IBM Lotus Domino, Microsoft File Server, Oracle Database, SharePoint, and SQL Server. If the primary server experiences a hardware or software failure, the secondary server assumes its IP address and hostname and resumes operation.
Zoho is definitely the standout in the group.
No agent is required on the primary Exchange server because MailShadow uses the Exchange transaction engine APIs via MAPI to identify transactions to replicate.
For maximum protection, administrators might choose to implement a fail-over system plus the CDP that DigiVault provides.
As with Neverfail, users connecting via MAPI or Outlook Web Access may need to restart the client to connect to the backup server.
It means more time spent on e-mail maintenance than I ever had to do using a desktop client. Right off the bat, though, Rallypoint and Writeboard are out.
That can chew through a single gig of online space pretty quickly. Administrators can control replication by storage group, by Exchange server, or by individual accounts. These procedures are well-documented in the manuals.
I had to go with Zoho. Collaboration is fair, including a shared area to which you can invite team members, as well as discussion boards you can setup. My partner does the spreadsheets.
Because the replication is based on transactions, no corruption of the Exchange database is passed on to the backup.

iRows bought the farm.
And both offer direct blogging tools, where you can create your blog posts with these slightly richer tools, rather than more Spartan text toolkits you get from Blogger or WordPress.
Every safeguard helps. Unfortunately, none of the three could handle that. Unfortunately, none of the three could handle that.
DigiVault requires taking the mail store offline to restore it, and in the event of hardware failure, it requires a complete re-install.
