David Bloomer - PeerSpot reviewer
Lightweight, simple, and robust; easy to maintain and doesn't require a lot of system resources to run
Kerio Connect does as advertised, so there are no real issues with the product itself. It's developed regularly, so there are constant updates. Possibly, the support and development have lessened since they've sold the company, but as far as the product itself is concerned, there isn't anything that I would suggest needs improvement. If I'm being picky, Kerio Connect uses a proprietary, mappy atom for Outlook, and it would be nice if they used a native mappy connection instead, but that's the only additional feature that I would like to see in its next release. If they have native Outlook map integration, that would be great, but other than that, it's got all the functions that I think a mail server should have.

Jayson Martin - PeerSpot reviewer
The data retrieval process is seamless
The permission structure plays a big role in the solution's setup process. The deployment process involves setting up all connectors between the Veritas Enterprise Vault, emails, and file servers. At our company, we found the permissions created a complicated situation often during the setup of Veritas Enterprise Vault. The deployment of the solution overall took around a week for our organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is easy to maintain, unlike Exchange. It's easy to create multiple domains and back up and restore if needed. It also has good security features like anti-spam and antivirus."
"It's relatively simple to use."
"The user interface is good."
"KerioConnect has integration with 365. We can use Outlook, which has its client and can be used with Apple devices. It integrates with the App Store and Microsoft Office. It has a smart router. The spam filtering and antivirus are good."
"We use the solution as a mail server. It connects with Outlook and is used for calendaring and similar tasks."
"What I like most about Kerio Connect is that it supports ActiveSync, and that is its most critical feature. The solution is also a nice, simple, robust, and stable mail server."
"The most valuable features are security and privacy because you installed it on your server, within your company premises, not in the cloud."
"We have contacted technical support a handful of times and received some assistance."
More KerioConnect pros
"Enterprise is a user-friendly product."
"Organizations can streamline governance processes and improve compliance by utilizing automated classification to tag and categorize data."
"The integration capabilities are second to none."
"We use the solution to archive emails."
"The data retrieval process was seamless with Veritas Enterprise Vault"
"The archive allows the customers to search any items as far back as five or ten years ago."

"Veritas Enterprise Vault is highly stable and has low-maintenance."
More Veritas Enterprise Vault pros
 

Cons

"Most of our clients use Outlook and Kerio Connect. Occasionally, Kerio can be a bit slow. They could make it faster to get onto the web interface without so much load time. It's just slow with Outlook, however, for some reason."
"The search and archiving documentation capabilities need to be stronger."
"You cannot integrate with other services like Google Docs, Google Assistant, Google Calendar, etc."
"We are considering switching to Microsoft Exchange. One reason is that it doesn't improve our workflow and doesn't integrate well with Microsoft 365 applications."
"I would like to see better support from their support team."
"KerioConnect is stable as long as you use a strong password."
"Having a native Outlook map integration would make Kerio Connect better."
"It could be simpler to use and install, but I still wouldn't use it because there isn't a compelling use case."
More KerioConnect cons
"One of the big disadvantages is that the product doesn't cover structured data"
"The file-level archiving is very important in Enterprise Vault 12 and this doesn't really exist in early versions."
"The deployment phase is very hard."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault should improve its indexing and customization options."
"Cost is high for Veritas Enterprise Vault."
"The solution is not user-friendly and the restoration is not fast. It's also tricky to get information from it."
"It's not so easy for a layperson or a new user to learn to use Veritas Enterprise Vault."
"The platform's price could be affordable for small businesses."
More Veritas Enterprise Vault cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Kerio Connect is better when comparing it to others solutions."
"The pricing is about $3 per mailbox per month."
"KerioConnect has a first-time cost and yearly subscription. It is not expensive."
"The solution's pricing depends on how long you plan to keep it because you pay on a per-year basis. You might have a one-time setup cost for something like Microsoft Exchange or a Linux mail server. I'd say this solution is expensive on a per-year basis, almost 2000-3000 dollars annually. It doesn't seem to pay off yet, so we're considering switching to another product."
"Enterprise Vault is a little bit expensive."
"The pricing is very high."
"It's an affordable solution"
"There is a license required for this solution and it is typically is paid annually."
"The price for Enterprise Vault is around €100 per user."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault pricing is average, and I rate the solution a five out of ten for pricing."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault is an expensive solution."
