Provides peace of mind and expands well but needs a better interface

It's a hosted solution. I'm not sure which version of the solution Im on at this time. I would advise others to research all the options out there and see what the best fit is. We started this mailbox continuity project before we moved to Office 365. And now that we've moved to Office 365, we kind of don't need this piece of technology in the same way that we used to need it when we had an on-prem exchange. Therefore, make sure that you actually need it and then research to find the best options. Overall, I would rate the solution seven out of ten.

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.

Cons

"The price of the solution is expensive. It can improve by reducing the price."

"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."

"The interface and the documentation could be improved. They can also include some more training resources and content like video. While setting things up, I had to search for the information quite a bit. It took me time to find the correct way to do something. The information is there, but it is sort of all over the place. They can create a better help knowledge base or help portal. It retains your email for 45 days. They can maybe increase this duration."

"The interface isn't the best. How everything works on the back end is confusing."

"Technical support has been slower than it was in the past, likely due to the pandemic."

"The integration needs to improve."

"The file-level archiving is very important in Enterprise Vault 12 and this doesn't really exist in early versions."

"Veritas Enterprise Vault should improve its indexing and customization options."

"Veritas Enterprise Vault's cloud backup solution should include the journal archiving feature along with the standard licensing package."

"The stability could be improved."

"The product is a very complicated solution. It is not easy to upgrade and get alerts of issues. You have to check it all the time to see if there is an internal error."

"I cannot perform application backup, and I am not able to repair the license."

"The solution is not user-friendly and the restoration is not fast. It's also tricky to get information from it."
