How does Recovery Advantage™ compare to Lucid8's DigiScope® product?

DigiScope is a Exchange/IT tool enabling administrators to recover entire mailboxes and individual messages. Administrators also use it in eDiscovery scenarios to recover and export messages and entire mailboxes for further legal analysis. If you use DigiScope against a Recovery Advantage enabled Exchange Servers you can very quickly see what snap copies are available on what server and request to mount such snap copies without ever having to leave DigiScope. This will save you valuable time and make the whole recovery and eDiscovery process very easy, cost effective and efficient.

Recovery Advantage™ and DigiScope® - Better Together

Recovery Advantage will enable IT departments to provide better support for their end users without the overhead and resources needed in the past.

  Respond quickly and cost efficiently to eDiscovery requests without impacting the live server.
