Veritas Enterprise Vault Reviews

We archive our emails to store them. We can archive our emails based on rules and we archive them after a couple of months. It offers the option to access the emails even if they’re archived. It releases the space from your mailbox, but you can still access the email.

As a tool, it works fine. I only need to touch the tool if the servers are down. It’s stable. The only issue we have is when there isn’t network communication.

Veritas Enterprise Vault has perfectly helped with email archiving and saving space within mailboxes. By saving space, it has saved money for the company and gives us safety.

Veritas Enterprise Vault is stable and has low maintenance. It works as long as nothing goes wrong. We could forget that it’s there. It works mostly on its own without much manual support.

The cost for availing of new features in Veritas Enterprise Vault seems very high. The product’s competition is actually moving to the cloud. As the product is not cheap, eventually, they went loose with their native rules- in this case, by Microsoft or other vendors. 

Veritas Enterprise Vault is trying to catch up with the competitors' technological moves. The configuration and the installation process can be simplified. The feature requirement would be like Microsoft 365 if we move into the cloud. The compatibility has to be like Microsoft archiving.

I have been using it since 2021.

Veritas Enterprise Vault is very stable. I would rate it a nine out of ten.

Veritas Enterprise Vault is very easy to scale. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have more than a thousand mailboxes.

Technical support is good enough. The support is better than for NetBackup.

Positive

The installation is straightforward; click next, next, next. It’s a complex product, and the configuration is complex. The complexity makes sense because of the way it needs to interact with other tools. 

The GUI is modern. The complexity makes sense because of the way it interacts with other tools.

The installation is fast. It took around one hour. Creating the rules and configuring the product can take a little longer.

You only need one engineer to deploy and maintain it.

The initial cost is high but can be easily setup on the server. It requires a one-time short license.

There are no additional costs to the license.

I would rate the pricing between an eight or nine out of ten.

I would recommend Veritas Enterprise Vault for email archiving and daily-demand email access. I would rate it a nine out of ten.

The product is very useful for archiving emails. I didn't use the file archive solution much, but it's a very useful tool for emails because it keeps all the emails on each site and Exchange's usage. If one has a large environment for Exchange, they can keep their emails on Enterprise Vault because it is singularly used for emails.

Enterprise is a user-friendly product. It's a bit of a hard product on the technical side rather than the end user side, but if they understand how it works, it's a very easy solution.

The stability could be improved.

I worked with Enterprise Vault for almost six years.

I rate Enterprise Vault's stability a six or seven out of ten because it's not an "install and forget" product. We have to do the maintenance daily.

Enterprise Vault is scalable. The previous company I worked at that used Enterprise Vault was small, and we were Veritas partners.

When customers had a problem we couldn't solve, we opened vendor tickets. I spoke to Veritas engineers. Customers did not communicate with them because they didn't want to, because some users do not speak English, for example. In those cases, I needed to do the translation. Veritas gives support for 100 users to 10,000 users.

Enterprise is a very easy product to set up, but I find it easy because I've used it for almost six years as a consultant and handled many installations and technical problems.

We can use this product if we use an Exchange server or a Domino server. But we cannot have mail archives without another server, such as Zimbra or any other email solution. We can only use it for journal archives.

Enterprise Vault is a little bit expensive. Normally, our customers renew their licenses yearly.

I rate Veritas Enterprise Vault an eight out of ten.

If you want to manage your emails and analyze them, it's a good product. It is good for analyzing because you can use the GTPR solution and track who wrote emails to whom, seeing if anyone is sending secret information through email. You can also track communication between all-time users. If someone sent a mail five years ago and needs to find it, you 100% find it with Enterprise Vault. It's a good product.

We primarily use the solution for email and file archiving. We also use it for the classification of international regulations.

The search feature is the most valuable aspect of the solution.

The solution is pretty scalable.

The stability is good.

The product is quite affordable.

Dealing with personal information, such as documents that contain a personal number, personal ID or something like that should be improved. Sometimes it works poorly in that regard. It depends on the accuracy of the picture, PDF file, or format. Maybe with other OCR tools, the results will be better.

While a lot of this depends on Microsoft, I'd like to see more integration. I'd like more of the product as a feature instead of a second product. In the future, we'd like to have the same structure of folders that we have in Microsoft 365. 

I've been using the solution for around three years.

The stability is excellent. I'd rate it five out of five. There were no bugs or glitches and it didn't crash or freeze. 

I found the solution to be scalable. Expanding it wasn't a problem.

We had about 6,000 people on it in the organization. Our entire company was on it. 

I never personally reached out to technical support and therefore would d not be able to speak on how helpful they would be if you had any issues. 

The initial setup offers a moderate amount of difficulty. It's not overly complex. I'd rate it a four out of five in terms of ease of deployment. The deployment itself takes about two weeks. 

The price for Enterprise Vault is around €100 per user. That is for one license for one year and includes support. I would rate the solution a four out of five in terms of affordability.

I would rate the product nine out of ten. I've been pretty satisfied with its capabilities overall. 

The use cases for Enterprise Vault are data archiving, log backup, mail archiving and saving data space from the current environment.

The main purpose is data archiving: log backups and mail archiving. It can also be used for logs for previous access management and database.

Veritas Enterprise Vault does support object storage usage. Mail archiving is the primary need. You can also explore file archiving if you use a file server.

The data retention policies depend on the corporation and the regulations. Non-governance requires ten years of retention, while other non-regulated sectors typically require five years.

Veritas Enterprise Vault is very user-friendly for accessing mail archives because it is just a shortcut in Outlook or other mail clients. It can be used with an inactive server. User behavior is very smooth.

The troubleshooting process is very hard. If there is a problem, the entire team needs to get involved to solve the issue. It is a very complex product, and Veritas engineers should be more agile in supporting cases.

Nothing is easy to manage. It is very complex. 

I have been using it since 2016. 

It's a very sensitive product. For example, if you restart Enterprise Vault, which is located on different servers, it takes time to activate all system components. 

If you don't touch it, it's working fine.

There are over 250 end users. 

If you want to use best practices, then the setup takes a long time. It's very relevant. The best practice is to use a cluster structure. 

The deploying and implementation phase takes a minimum of two or three weeks to complete.

The deployment phase is very hard because a special client version is needed to plug in on the client side. For example, if a client doesn't access their archive mail, it becomes a crucial issue on the server side, and it takes a long time to resolve. It is a very long process.

The benefit is a reduced database size on your main server. This means you can manage your main server more easily, with less latency.

The pricing is very high. 

There is no competition in the product family like Veritas Enterprise Vault. It runs very well. I would give it an eight out of ten.

My advice would be: If you have 1000 end users and very large mailboxes, and you need to make sure the mail server is always available and working within your SLA claims, Enterprise Vault is really useful. It can also manage this process, but it depends on your users and processes.

I use the solution to find data loss and restore the data. 

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

I have been working with the product for one year. 

The solution's upgradation and maintenance are hectic and painful. 

I would rate the product a seven out of ten. 

We use the solution to archive emails. 

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 have been working with the product for two years. 

I would rate the product's stability a five out of ten. 

I would rate the solution's scalability a five out of ten. 

The product's setup is easy and got completed in one day. We have two engineers who are engaged in the solution's maintenance. 

I would rate the solution a six out of ten and I wouldn't recommend this product to others. 

Email archiving is the most valuable because it frees up space in our Exchange servers dramatically. The choice of more than 31,000 customers worldwide, Veritas archiving solutions are used by small to medium-sized businesses (SMB) and the largest enterprises, across key vertical and horizontal industries.

It allows us to keep more of our emails for a longer amount of time because when it archives our old emails, it deletes them and places a small short cut in its place. This also frees up much needed space on our hard drives within our Exchange servers.

I believe it needs better reporting features as well as better way of managing SQL databases and their maintenance.

We have been using this solution for over 10 years now.

No we have not.

9/10

This initial setup was straightforward.

We currently have in-house technicians that are Symantec Master certified that implemented Enterprise Vault.

We currently have and still have a very high investment gains when compared to our investment cost.

The pricing and licensing of this product is very competitive based on Gartner position of Enterprise Vault.

There was no other solution available at the time.

The expertise of the tech support team at Veritas as well as the Gartner position of Veritas Enterprise Vault and the ease of installation makes implementing and using this product a breeze.

We are using the solution for email and file archiving, and compliance.

The most valuable features are ease of use and performance. However, the performance can depend on the workload being used.

The integration needs to improve.

I have been using this solution for approximately two years.

In my experience, the solution has been scalable.

We have engineers that deal with the technical side of this solution.

There is a license required for this solution and it is typically is paid annually.

I rate Veritas Enterprise Vault a nine out of ten.
