1) Ease of use 2) Price 3) I like the Idea of Cloud base for built in DR 4) PST discovery 5) Single Exchange 2003 sp2 environment
What I liked about Mimecast was It would take the place of my MxLogic Zero downtime "they claim" I did the demo and they showed and offline client still get email from the cloud Built in email encryption like a tumbleweed appliance Per user price only does not consider a user if it is a service account email Relatively inexpensive for what you get. Basically asking if anybody was using them now. Mimosa would be large upfront cost. That's all David M.

Did you ever make a decision on this? I have also looked at Dell Massage One, Mimosa, Mimecast Mimosa may be too costly because of the install fees and hardware requirements. Let me know if anybody had done anything recently. David -----Original Message----- From: Domingue, Jamie [mailto:ja...@tsged.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 04, 2009 5:50 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Anybody using Mimosa for archival? We tried it here. 700+ users. Always some sort of problem. For example, it does not require journaling but should I have to re-schedule my backups just so Mimosa can do "it's thing". In my experience if a backup happened to be running while Mimosa was trying to "sync" I would have to restart the Exchange IS or the server. Also, when we let users try to archive their own PST files it would rarely ever work. Didn't matter if they, the PST files, were "open" or not. Good stuff. We are now looking into Proof Point http://www.proofpoint.com/ and Dell Message One http://www.messageone.com/. Redundant offsite storage, for us, is a nice selling point. Haven't looked into the Sunbelt offering yet... jamie ________________________________ From: Stefan Jafs [sj...@amico.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 04, 2009 3:25 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Anybody using Mimosa for archival? I'm using the Sunbelt SEA and I'm very happy. It's been up for about 4 - 5 months, 200 users, I have archived about 2 mil records to date and about 100G in storage. It works great as far as I'm concerned, it works with OWA and RPC /HTTP. Sunbelt came in remotely to help with the initial install took less than 2 hours. ___________________________________ Stefan Jafs From: Campbell, Rob [mailto:rob_campb...@centraltechnology.net] Sent: Tuesday, August 04, 2009 4:16 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Anybody using Mimosa for archival? About 4K mailboxes, and about a TB of message store. The Sharepoint archival integration they're offering could be of some consideration in our environment. I do like the fact that they don't use Exchange journaling to capture the email, so the impact on the Exchange environment is minimal. ________________________________ From: John Cook [mailto:john.c...@pfsf.org] Sent: Tuesday, August 04, 2009 3:09 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Anybody using Mimosa for archival? Don't know about the size of your environment but if it's not too big I'm sure Sunbelt would be a cost effective solution. We use Zantaz EAS but it's more for really big installations - somewhat complex to learn but it seems to be fairly bulletproof once setup. YMMV John W.

They're talking about trying to get archival into the budget for next year, and I just sat through an hour and a half of sales presentation from Mimosa. Anybody got any personal experience they'd be willing to share? ************************************************************************ ************************** Note: The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
