You appeared to overlooked another product - and that is the native archiving feature of Exchange. Was there are reason why that was overlooked?
Most third party archiving solutions require SQL server, so you should look at the licencing costs for that, compared to Enterprise CALs and perhaps an additional Exchange licence. You can use cheaper storage for the archive and it is all integrated.

We are running Exchange 2010 with about 300 mailboxes. One of the main aims of this project is to eliminate PST files and to keep the exchange database at a reasonable size. The product must integrate with Outlook seamlessly, archived email must be available off line (cached) and available through OWA and Outlook anywhere. I have identified 2 products that would seem to fit our criteria and would like to know whether anyone has experience of either product or any feedback they can offer about usability, features and support. The products are Metalogix "Archive Manager" and MessageSolutions "Enterprise Email Archive" Thank you in advance for any opinions that you can offer.
