## The benefits of archiving software

The benefits of using an archiving solution include:

-   **Security and compliance:** The software creates a centralized repository to maintain historical data, which reduces the risk of misplacing important information. They include data security features such as data encryption, role-based permissions, and end-user authentication to ensure archived data does not fall into unauthorized hands. Archiving software also enables organizations to stay compliant with data archival policies such as the [Sarbanes-Oxley Act](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/COMPS-1883/pdf/COMPS-1883.pdf) that requires publicly traded companies to retain business records for a mandatory retention period of seven years. Failure to comply with industry regulations and federal legislation can result in severe penalties.
    
-   **Data accessibility and recovery:** Archiving software offers an embedded search feature for users to find the exact information they’re looking for. Some of the advanced archiving tools also use fuzzy logic to capture searches with typos and errors to return the closest match of the required data. Additionally, some of these tools include backup and disaster recovery functionality so that businesses can safely restore data in the event of unplanned downtime. 
-   **System performance:** An overload of inactive data in primary storage might lead to reduced performance of the production system. By routinely moving inactive data to secondary storage, such as an archive system, businesses can optimize performance ensuring primary storage is reserved for active data only.
    

* * *

## Typical features of archiving software

-   **Archiving and retention:** Move and separately store business data that is not actively used for compliance purposes.
    
-   **Access controls/permissions:** Define levels of authorization for access to specific files/folders. 
-   **Compliance management:** Track and manage non-adherence to policies in storing archived data.
    
-   **Data retention management:** Define the policies of data and records management for meeting legal and business data archival requirements.
    
-   **Full-text search:** Look through the entire repository to access required information.
    
-   **Version control:** Track revisions and updates to data, and navigate between archived versions of the same documentation.
    

* * *

## The cost of archiving software

Most products in the market are priced on a per year basis and can be divided into three pricing tiers based on their starting price.

**Price ranges\*:**

-   $9 - $21
    
-   $22 - $43
    
-   $44+
    

_\*The pricing included is for the entry-level/lowest-priced offering found on vendor websites on August 28, 2021. These ranges correspond to the 25th, 75th, and 100th percentiles of pricing information gathered from vendor websites of sample products._

The above list summarizes pricing for the base plans of most products. An enterprise or premium product that is priced higher may include additional features such as legal hold automation, message redaction, custom retention policies, and more.

* * *

## Considerations when purchasing archiving software

-   **Functionality:**  Some archiving software is stand-alone and application-specific to store data in a particular file format, while others are all-in-one tools. These broader tools can store data in any file format including emails, social media messages, or text messages. It's important to determine your requirements before you start searching for an archiving tool to ensure you're only paying for the functionality you need. And if you have a limited budget, there are some free tools that can be useful.
    
-   **Deployment models:** When you are researching archiving software, you'll notice that a majority of the systems have cloud-based deployment options. Cloud-hosted applications, in general, are more cost-effective, as they eliminate operational and maintenance expenditure that comes with server installations. They are also easily accessible to the users from anywhere via the internet.
    

* * *

## Relevant archiving software trends

-   **Robust data management:** To keep pace with the increasing data volume that needs to be stored in an unalterable, time-stamped format, businesses need robust solutions in place. These solutions have to be capable of capturing and retaining large data quantities, and then process them quickly to respond to litigation and audit requests. Additionally, as social media and email archiving become a norm, [cloud archiving tools](https://jatheon.com/blog/jatheon-enterprise-data-archiving-trends-2021/) are taking the central stage. The cloud platform allows users to store unlimited data from multiple channels and formats—all while ensuring unparalleled security.
