I think SIS in EV is a fairly new development (version 9, current is 10) if I'm not mistaken. However, in a large Mac shop EV doesn't provide the same access interface (i.e. archive explorer) for the OsX boxten as they do for PC folks. the web interface can be kludgy to use. They recently made mobile browsing to the vault available but again, the majority of endusers want to have their mail, archived or not, in one place & accessible through one means.
The biggest benefit I see with EV is to keep the item count in the critical folders low by removing the stubs ater a predefined period & of course, removing attachments from large emails & placing them on secondary storage. But in this day and age where users are clamoring for larger mailbox (and Exchange with its db schema improvements making it available), third party archiving is becoming more and more a difficult sell.
