Gartner analysts Sheila Childs, Kenneth Chin, Debra Logan and Alan Dayley note that, “The EIA market is healthy and growing rapidly. EIA has emerged as a commonly used technology underpinning for higher-level use cases supporting information governance, e-discovery, historical preservation of data and application retirement.”

In this report, Gartner analysts note that, “Archiving as a service (aka cloud archiving) has rapidly surpassed on-premises archiving as the preferred deployment model for most organizations.” Gartner also observes that, “Aging on-premises archiving platforms are being replaced by more modern solutions, and migration from one archive to another, although difficult, is becoming commonplace.”

Email and File Archiving: About Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving

Gartner, Inc.'s Magic Quadrant positions vendors in a particular market segment based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute.

According to the report, "The term 'enterprise information archiving' incorporates products and solutions for archiving user content (for example, email, files, IM, SharePoint documents) and other data types (such as structured data and social media content). These products provide features such as data deduplication across content types, retention management, content indexing and at least basic tools for e-discovery (which, in this case, includes functionality for legal hold, advanced search, export and other features specific to managing data for e-discovery within the archive)."
