Pricing Assumptions & Methodology
Trusted Data Archive
$60/user/year for compliant journal archiving with full envelope capture (Smarsh, Global Relay, Mimecast competitors). Includes retention, search, legal hold, and BCC/DL metadata.
Supervision & Compliance
$30/user/year for communication supervision modules (typical add-on to archiving platforms).
Trusted Data Refinery
$1,000/TB/year for combined data discovery, classification, enrichment, and organization across File Shares and SharePoint (BigID + Varonis + AI data platforms). Minimum $500K.
Reduced Compute Costs
$800/TB/year in avoided compute costs from eliminating ROT (up to 60% of dark data), reducing AI query volume, and preventing security scan overhead on bloated datasets.
Safe Data Drop
Secure intake and transfer layer with chain of custody, expiring links, audit trails, and consolidated downloads. No direct competitor equivalent.
Systems Integrator
$300K one-time cost for typical 3-6 month engagement (Zantaz includes a full 9-month dedicated SI at no additional cost).
Estimates based on published enterprise pricing and industry benchmarks. SI cost is one-time in Year 1. Actual costs vary by vendor and contract terms.
