Why "Email Archiving" Isn't Enough Anymore

The Off-Channel Problem Mimecast Doesn't Solve
Pricing You Can't Predict

The $2 Billion Problem

Since 2021, the SEC and FINRA have collected more than $2 billion in fines from firms that failed to preserve business communications on off-channel platforms — WhatsApp, iMessage, personal text, Slack DMs.

Your Team Communicates on More Than Email

Email is one channel. Your team is on LinkedIn, X, Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, and SMS — and so are your prospects, clients, and regulators.
On Mimecast
Strong on email. Limited on everything else.
On Sharp Archive
Built ground-up for multi-channel capture. Email isn't the main course — it's one of many.
Your Data Is Held Hostage

Two Platforms or One?

Mimecast for email, then a second vendor for social media, then a third for messaging. Different bills, different UIs, different exports.
On Sharp Archive
One platform. One archive. One search. One bill.

Common Questions About Switching from Mimecast

No. We support full Microsoft 365 / Exchange and Google Workspace email archiving — journaling, shared mailboxes, delegated accounts, the works. Everything Mimecast does for email, Sharp Archive does too.

Most firms are fully migrated in 5 business days. We handle the email data transfer, archive history import, and supervision rule replication.

Yes. We import your complete Mimecast archive — including all historical email, supervision flags, and audit trails — so your team has one search across both old and new records.

Yes. We’re in the official FINRA Compliance Vendor Directory, alongside Mimecast.

Sharp Archive is an archiving platform, not an email security gateway. If you need both, most customers keep their email security tool (Mimecast, Proofpoint, or built-in Microsoft Defender) and pair it with Sharp Archive for archiving across all channels.

Send us your current Mimecast quote or renewal offer. We’ll confirm pricing at 10% below within one business day, valid for your full term.
