Global Relay Archive vs. Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance

If you have a finance company and are bound by certain compliance rules then Global Relay is the gold standard. It does cost more than typical Exchange archival solutions so regular non-compliance organizations can look at other options. We have had multiple events that required the use of Global relay some simple some much more complicated. They came through every time.

Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance is well suited for organizations with a large amount of employees, in my opinion, as they have a lot of options for grouping users in various ways to send specific learning content to them. For a smaller organization, the employees might utilize all of the built-in training videos, phishing simulations, and content more rapidly, which would not justify the pricey cost of the tool.

Exchange Online Archiving is fine but the gold standard for finance is Global Relay. Most clients will go outside of MS for compliance-related archiving.

It's hard to compare Proofpoint archiving and compliance to the rest of these products because I personally feel like they all integrate so well with each other. Using them all simultaneously creates a completed puzzle for our company that gives our users the power and the protection they need to stay safe in a world where threats are always around every corner. I can easily recommend the four Proofpoint products above and they all work well together.

• Eventually, we will be consolidating our archives into this solution. Having all archives in one location (from various migrations over the years) will cut down on admin time for legal matters, as well as not having to worry about duplicate emails from different archives.
• Admins will not have to search for emails that users deleted or can't find and now need. They can find their own emails.
• We can grant access to our legal team to run their own search and gather projects, which takes a decent amount of time off IT admins' plates.
