Top 10 features you’re missing with DataCove
Best Advanced Search in the industry | Direct export to PST, EML and PDF |
Would you like to see improvement when executing complex searches? Jatheon’s easy-to-use advanced search uses Boolean, proximity and wildcard operators and lets you filter 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. | With Jatheon’s export feature, you’ll be able to export your search results to PST directly through the user interface without having to use additional tools. This will let you handle larger exports and save time and effort. Direct export 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. |
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 3GB, but can be customized to up to 64GB, depending on total RAM size. Moreover, Jatheon’s advanced export can run silently in the background and free 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 96TB. 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 rely on 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. | |
Intuitive user interface | |
Jatheon’s user interface is tailored for everyone – end users, compliance officers and IT administrators – and allows effortless search and efficient archive management. | |
Mobile, voice and WhatsApp archiving | Free hardware refresh |
Jatheon can be your single archiving source. Apart from email and attachments, Jatheon offers archiving support for all major social media channels as well as text messages, phone calls, voicemail and instant messages, including WhatsApp. | In Jatheon, every archiving appliance comes with a clearly structured customer service and maintenance plan that includes free hardware refresh after 4 years, regardless of the appliance model. | 24/7 monitoring and tech support | Enterprise grade hardware |
Jatheon offers continual dynamic system monitoring that allows a rapid, proactive response and intervention for any software, hardware or network connectivity issues. Apart from a comprehensive knowledge base and detailed technical documentation, Jatheon boasts a fully dedicated tech support team that continuously gets 100% customer satisfaction rating. We’re talking real, human tech support, where every engineer can help. | Superior hardware features like ECC memory, SAS hard drives and RAID-Z architecture improve overall IT performance and ensure speed and data protection. Customers always get the best hardware available thanks to regular updates of Jatheon’s hardware configuration and a free hardware refresh program. |

Jatheon vs. DataCove
Basic Features Comparison
FEATURE
Search
Jatheon’s Simple Search lets you search through parts of emails using various search criteria. This simple, yet powerful search functionality was designed to save time and was made with end users in mind. 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
After conducting a search, the user will be presented with search results, where they can select a message and see its content in the preview pane on the right. The specified keyword will be highlighted, and there are various message options including export, forward, restore, reply etc.
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 DataCove 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.
