Top 10 features you’re missing with Barracuda
| Best Advanced Search in the industry | Export to PDF |
| Would you like to see improvement when navigating the interface and searching the archive? Jatheon’s easy-to-use advanced search lets you create and execute complex searches by filtering emails matching certain criteria, keywords and phrases. Based on the latest search technology, it allows you to search through large databases and pinpoint exact data in a matter of seconds. | Need better export options than PST and ZIP? With Jatheon, exporting email has never been easier. The enhanced export feature lets you export your search results to PST, EML or PDF file formats. Exporting to PDF is a convenient way of offloading emails, especially useful for smaller exports and reports. There’s also a print option directly in the interface, which saves time and effort. |
| Advanced Export | Excellent expandability plans |
| Struggling with exporting large amounts of data? Although bulk migrations aren’t the primary purpose of email archiving solutions, we believe that a great email archiver needs to have a robust bulk export functionality. With Jatheon, the default maximum size of the exported PST file is 3 GB, but can be customized to up to 64GB, depending on total RAM size. That’s 3-30 times faster than what you currently have. Moreover, Jatheon’s advanced export runs silently in the background and frees up the user interface for other tasks. | Jatheon’s archiving appliances can be easily expanded by adding cost-effective expansion modules with extra storage ranging from 8 to 96 TB. Expanding your storage in such a way is much easier and cheaper, as you don’t have to purchase the entire appliance and you can still search through both the primary appliance and the expansion unit.
|
| Superior data availability | |
| In Jatheon, we know there are more advanced and less fragile storage-saving processes than stubbing. We want you to have all your data available now and free of errors. That’s why we prioritize data integrity features like end-to-end data full checksum protection, corruption-proof root file system and self-healing data sets that prevent silent data corruption and ensure long-term data availability. | |
| EML Import | |
| If you had another email archiver before Barracuda, you probably know it wasn’t painless to import historical files in PST form. With Jatheon, you will be able to ingest PST and EML legacy data stored on a local shared drive. | |
| Enterprise grade hardware on all models | Free hardware refresh |
| If your Barracuda archiver is slowing down as it gets full, that’s because it’s SATA-based. All Jatheon appliance models have superior hardware features such as ECC memory, SAS hard drives and RAID-Z architecture, improving overall IT performance and ensuring speed and data protection. | Confused about Barracuda’s additional services? Unsure if you’re eligible for free hardware refresh? In Jatheon, every archiving solution comes with a clearly structured customer service and maintenance plan that includes free hardware refresh after 4 years, regardless of the appliance model or support plan. | Social media and mobile archiving | 24/7 tech support and customer service |
| Jatheon can be your single archiving source. Apart from email, files and attachments, Jatheon offers archiving support for all major social media channels, text messages, phone calls and voicemail. | Apart from a comprehensive knowledge base and detailed technical documentation, Jatheon boasts a fully dedicated, in-house technical support team that continuously gets 100% customer satisfaction rating. We’re talking real, human tech support, where every engineer can help, and where you’d get a personal agent working with you from migration and onboarding, throughout the process. |

Jatheon vs. Barracuda
Basic Features Comparison
FEATURE
Simple Search
Jatheon’s Simple Search lets you search through parts of emails, as well as specify whether you’re searching your own mailbox or other mailboxes too. Unlike Barracuda, Jatheon offers a simple, yet powerful search functionality designed to save time and made with users in mind.
FEATURE
Advanced Search
Jatheon’s Advanced Search allows compliance officers and administrators to search through millions of emails and end up with a manageable number of results to review. Superior system logic based on search blocks and containers lets you construct complex searches and filter results easily.
FEATURE
Search Results
Once you get the results of your search, Jatheon lets you choose the position of the preview pane (down or right), making it easier to review the displayed results. Moreover, there is an option to search through the obtained search results to further narrow down your search.
FEATURE
Data Export
Jatheon gives you the possibility to export up to 5,000 emails into pst/eml files directly from search results using the Export button. You can export a larger number of emails, practically without limitations, by using the Export Task – silent export that runs in the background, freeing up the web interface for other activities. You can track the progress of export and once the file is ready, you will receive an email notification with the download link.
FEATURE
Backup
Although Barracuda offers various backup options, Jatheon’s backup is done on a binary level and relies on ZFS snapshots. ZFS snapshots are superior because they reflect the entire data as it existed at a single point in time and can be created extremely quickly. Another advantage is that all email data, metadata and system settings are backed up at once and in a single location.
