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.

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.

Cons

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

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

"One of the big disadvantages is that the product doesn't cover structured data"

"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."

"Cost is high for Veritas Enterprise Vault."

"The stability could be improved."
