Arkivum review
A focused cloud archive for preserving, governing, and retrieving important digital records.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Arkivum is a SaaS digital archiving and preservation solution for organisations that need long-term access to valuable records and data. It is aimed at regulated industries, scientific research, corporate archives, and cultural institutions. The platform runs as a cloud-hosted archive on AWS and supports browser uploads, cloud locations, Office 365 integrations, migration services, and APIs. Its scope covers records and data that need controlled retention, preservation, retrieval, and documented custody over time.
Governance and integrity are central to the product. Teams can configure retention rules and expiration notifications, apply legal holds to records with retention rules, and preserve immutable archived files and documents. Fixity and ongoing data-integrity checks support continued oversight, while audit trails and chain-of-custody reporting provide documentation around archived content. Preservation workflows and file-format normalization add value for research and regulated environments where long-term readability matters alongside storage.
Access and ecosystem fit are practical rather than broad. Metadata and full-text search, file preview, and controlled export support retrieval without treating the archive as a simple storage destination. Ingestion includes SharePoint and OneDrive, with an open API for connected systems; supported source types also include CTMS, ELN, EDC, eTMF, and GxP data sources. According to the vendor's pricing information, prospective customers are directed to contact the company or book a demo rather than select a published standard plan. Arkivum suits teams prioritising governed preservation, integrity checks, and defensible records management; organisations seeking extensive out-of-the-box integrations or self-hosted deployment should consider a different fit.
