Smarsh, Proofpoint, Microsoft, Mimecast, Global Relay and ZL Technologies have been named as ‘leaders’ in Gartner’s 2019 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving (EIA).
Veritas Technologies and Micro Focus are the visionaries, according to the report which names Barracuda as the only vendor in the “Challenger ” category.
The “Niche Players” section consists of Capax Discovery, Archive360 and Everteam.
EIA focuses on solutions that archive user data, such as email, instant messaging, social media, file, SMS and voice.
I&O leaders need to assess vendors and their offerings, which focus on compliance, preservation and discovery use cases, and are based on increasingly complex regulatory demands, according to Gartner.
