IBM Optim Archive has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

Salesforce Archive is a web product for managing large Salesforce data volumes through scheduled archiving, storage analysis and record restoration. Policies can move inactive records, files and attachments, including objects with lookup relationships, while applying retention periods that can be changed later. Salesforce says this can improve query and reporting performance and reduce storage costs. Storage Analyzer identifies high-usage objects and visualizes expected reductions. Users with permission can locate archived records and files in Salesforce record context, then restore them individually or in bulk. The product supports retention policies, deletion requests for personally identifiable information and freezing records during active litigation. Salesforce Connect can expose archived data as external objects in custom tabs or through SOQL, requiring an Archive license and a Developer, Enterprise, Performance or Unlimited edition. Pricing varies by archiving needs, company size and industry; a listed starting price is $1/user/mo (annual).
