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

"This solution is our SMB alternative to Exchange, installed for more than forty SMB customers in a Linux environment with all of the collaboration features."
"Kerio Connect is secure, flexible, and easy to control from the user interface."
"Kerio Connect is secure, flexible, and easy to control from the user interface. It has many security features able to be controlled from one place, such as anti-spam. I have found it very convenient. Additionally, you can analyze log files and share folders which is helpful."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features are its ease of use, excellent pricing, and it is platform agnostic."
"Backing up and maintaining it is straightforward compared to Microsoft Exchange, making it administrator-friendly."
"It's relatively simple to use."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault is an archive solution for email and files."
"We use the solution to archive emails."
"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."
"If you are on-premise and cannot go to the cloud, this is the best solution for easy maintenance of your Exchange server."
"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."
"Organizations can streamline governance processes and improve compliance by utilizing automated classification to tag and categorize data."
"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."
"I use the solution to find data loss and restore the data."
 

Cons

"Most of our clients use Outlook and Kerio Connect. Occasionally, Kerio can be a bit slow."
"Having a native Outlook map integration would make Kerio Connect better."
"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"
"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."
"KerioConnect is stable as long as you use a strong password."
"KerioConnect continues to improve with regular updates throughout the year. They must be added to the roadmap, which requires approval."
"You cannot integrate with other services like Google Docs, Google Assistant, Google Calendar, etc."
"The search and archiving documentation capabilities need to be stronger."
"The solution is not user-friendly and the restoration is not fast. It's also tricky to get information from it."
"One of the big disadvantages is that the product doesn't cover structured data"
"Cost is high for Veritas Enterprise Vault."
"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 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."
"The file-level archiving is very important in Enterprise Vault 12 and this doesn't really exist in early versions."
"It requires a lot of maintenance; we had a lot of problems with it as services were falling down or failing, so it's not really easy to maintain."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault's cloud backup solution should include the journal archiving feature along with the standard licensing package."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Kerio Connect is better when comparing it to others solutions."
"KerioConnect has a first-time cost and yearly subscription. It is not expensive."
"The pricing is about $3 per mailbox per month."
"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 very high."
"The price for Enterprise Vault is around €100 per user."
"Enterprise Vault is a little bit expensive."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault is an expensive solution."
"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."
"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"
