The particular segmentation is a questionable choice.
Small enterprises are likely to have small IT/Security staff, and the most likely, therefore, to not notice something awry for a few days, at which point, vital log info has already rolled off the 7-day window.
- jefftk 4y agoMaybe the small businesses you've encountered are different from the ones I have? My expectation is that most have no security staff and wouldn't use this feature even if it had indefinite retention.
- donmcronald 4y agoThis is exactly the issue. No one monitors the logs and, by the time they figure out something is wrong, there isn't enough info available to properly assess the scope of the damage. Another problem is the Business Basic product is too complex for what small businesses need (reliable email) and buying something even more complex to get a couple of extra features like proper logging is counterproductive. As is, if a small business ends up with a compromised admin account I don't think it's unreasonable to consider migrating them to a different service. It's nearly impossible to guarantee a bad actor hasn't hidden a back door somewhere in all that complexity if your only tools for assessment are the ones offered in the Business Basic subscriptions.
