Featured Reviews

Jayson Martin - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Rastislav Maniak - PeerSpot reviewer
Archives emails and files, providing indexes for searching the archives
The tool has had some scalability issues, but now that it's offered as a cloud service, it's easier to manage. However, setting it up isn't as straightforward as it used to be, and there may be limitations with the support provided during setup and testing. Also, the quality of support has declined in the past year.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration capabilities are second to none."
"The archive allows the customers to search any items as far back as five or ten years ago."
"User behavior is very smooth."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas Enterprise Vault is the on-premise recall from your email into Outlook."
"I use the solution to find data loss and restore the data."
"The indexing and searching features are the most valuable features of Veritas Enterprise Vault."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault is an archive solution for email and files."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault is highly stable and has low-maintenance."
"The tool streamlines data discovery processes for compliance by setting up a gateway to copy every incoming and outgoing email to the archive independently of the mailbox. This ensures that even if a user deletes their mailbox, the emails are still available in the archive, making it a compliant solution for monitoring all incoming and outgoing emails. Additionally, it offers the ability to place legal holds on important emails."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"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's not so easy for a layperson or a new user to learn to use Veritas Enterprise Vault."
"The deployment phase is very hard."
"Cost is high for Veritas Enterprise Vault."
"The quality of support by Veritas has declined in the last year."
"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 platform's price could be affordable for small businesses."
"Technical support could be better."
"The tool has had some scalability issues, but now that it's offered as a cloud service, it's easier to manage. However, setting it up isn't as straightforward as it used to be, and there may be limitations with the support provided during setup and testing. Also, the quality of support has declined in the past year."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Enterprise Vault is a little bit expensive."
"The price for Enterprise Vault is around €100 per user."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault pricing is average, and I rate the solution a five out of ten for pricing."
"It's an affordable solution"
"There is a license required for this solution and it is typically is paid annually."
"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."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is very high."
"The tool is expensive, and I rate its price as eight out of ten. It might not be very expensive. However, comparing it with something that's free or already included in the price is challenging, like the Office 365 archive mailbox. Previously, this was part of the subscription price. Now, it's an additional cost, typically covered by departments like legal or compliance rather than IT."
