Senior Manager at Havells

Easy to use with helpful email backup and search capabilities, but it needs to support SIEM integration

Integration with ArcSight would be very helpful. The user mailbox management is poor. For example, if I want to restore a complete mailbox then it doesn't keep the structure of the inbox intact. When the emails are restored, they are in a single folder that we have to extract and restructure. At times, the restoration doesn't work properly. It would be difficult to opt-out of the services because it would require the transfer of a lot of data from the cloud to on-premises storage. Technical support should be more available to the Indian market.

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.
