A seamless setup ensures smooth communication with comprehensive support

We remain a partner with Sophos and use XG S Firewalls without AWS implementation. We only use Sophos endpoint and Sophos Central. We host some clients on-premise while others we host remotely. The VPN connection is easy and proprietary, so it's not open to any other VPN clients. Communication with other mail servers is seamless. It can communicate with Gmail and Outlook without issues, provided the DNS settings are correct. We monitor our servers and security logs, implementing GeoIP blocking. We frequently block China and India IPs due to brute force attacks on our servers. We have extensive experience with KerioConnect. Backing up and maintaining it is straightforward compared to Microsoft Exchange, making it administrator-friendly. On a scale of 1-10, this solution rates an 8.

Support for data archiving and integration capabilities enhance data management

The GUI of Veritas Enterprise Vault is not friendly; the user interface can be quite convoluted for users or IT people who are not conversant with it. Even for professionals, it can be complex. Over time, if you get the hang of it, you'll understand it, but it's not something you can teach a user to quickly grasp. It's kind of complex. Veritas could do something to change this situation. I've given feedback quite a number of times through various channels, including during support calls. I remember trying to do a system state backup using our NetBackup feature, and I found out that Veritas NetBackup cannot back up a system state. Having numerous solutions instead of just one backup system can be quite unfriendly. They can back up other things such as databases and file servers, but when it comes to carrying a system state backup, it falls short. Honestly, Veritas Enterprise Vault's costing was one of the main reasons we dropped the integration to the cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As long as the operating is stable, the Kerio connect will be very stable as well, so we don't have any problem with it."

"The user interface is good."

"Kerio Connect is secure, flexible, and easy to control from the user interface."

"The most valuable features are its ease of use, excellent pricing, and it is platform agnostic."

"It's relatively simple to use."

"Backing up and maintaining it is straightforward compared to Microsoft Exchange, making it administrator-friendly."

"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."

"As long as the operating is stable, the Kerio connect will be very stable as well, so we don't have any problem with it."

More KerioConnect pros

"We use the solution to archive emails."

"From my experience, the most beneficial aspects of the product are the lower cost per terabyte and the security of old data with ease of access."

"User behavior is very smooth."

"We use advanced indexing and search functionalities heavily, and for compliance, audits, and legal requirements, it's helpful for the recovery purposes of corrupted files."

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

"What I have heard from admins working on that environment is that they are very satisfied with Veritas Enterprise Vault, and they are also satisfied with what Commvault solution."

More Veritas Enterprise Vault pros

Cons

"Most of our clients use Outlook and Kerio Connect. Occasionally, Kerio can be a bit slow."

"It could be simpler to use and install, but I still wouldn't use it because there isn't a compelling use case."

"The search and archiving documentation capabilities need to be stronger."

"KerioConnect continues to improve with regular updates throughout the year. They must be added to the roadmap, which requires approval."

"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."

"The solution could improve the redundancy because we only have one copy of the Kerio Connect server on our hardware. The next step for us is to move to the cloud and if Kerio does not have a cloud version available they should release one"

"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."

"I don't particularly like this solution. I would not recommend this solution to others."

More KerioConnect cons

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

"Frankly, three years ago, technical support from Veritas was better than now. Veritas was bought by an American company, and the quality is much lower than it used to be."

"The quality of support by Veritas has declined in the last year."

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

"The GUI is not friendly. The user interface can be quite convoluted for a user or an IT person who is not conversant with Veritas Enterprise Vault to immediately grasp it."

"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."

"The stability could be improved."

More Veritas Enterprise Vault cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Kerio Connect is better when comparing it to others solutions."

"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."

"The pricing is about $3 per mailbox per month."

"KerioConnect has a first-time cost and yearly subscription. It is not expensive."

"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."

"It's an affordable solution"

"The price for Enterprise Vault is around €100 per user."

"Veritas Enterprise Vault is an expensive solution."

"The pricing is very high."

"Enterprise Vault is a little bit expensive."

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

"Veritas Enterprise Vault pricing is average, and I rate the solution a five out of ten for pricing."
