Comparison: Barracuda Cloud Archiving vs. Microsoft 365 Native Archiving

Barracuda Cloud Archiving outperforms Microsoft 365’s native archiving (e.g., Exchange Online Archiving), which offers basic retention but lacks advanced e-discovery, immutable storage, and user-friendly access. Barracuda’s solution is purpose-built for compliance and productivity. The grid below highlights key differences, with a short description under each feature name:

Why Barracuda Stands Out: Microsoft 365’s native archiving, part of Exchange Online Archiving, provides basic retention but lacks immutable storage, advanced e-discovery tools, and user-friendly access like Barracuda’s Outlook Add-in. Barracuda’s granular retention and robust search capabilities ensure compliance and simplify legal requests, making it ideal for businesses needing a dedicated archiving solution.
