Charles Nwaokukwu - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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

"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."
"We use the solution to archive emails."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault has its advantages; it does the work that it's supposed to do effectively."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault is an archive solution for email and files."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and performance. However, the performance can depend on the workload being used."
"The integration capabilities are second to none."
"The indexing and searching features are the most valuable features of Veritas Enterprise Vault."
"I use the solution to find data loss and restore the data."
More Veritas Enterprise Vault pros
"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

"Cost is high for Veritas Enterprise Vault."
"One of the big disadvantages is that the product doesn't cover structured data"
"The solution is not user-friendly and the restoration is not fast. It's also tricky to get information from it."
"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."
"To give a quick calculation, one year of Veritas Enterprise Vault is more expensive than five years of CommVault."
"The file-level archiving is very important in Enterprise Vault 12 and this doesn't really exist in early versions."
"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 integration needs to improve."
More Veritas Enterprise Vault cons
"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

"There is a license required for this solution and it is typically is paid annually."
"The price for Enterprise Vault is around €100 per user."
"Enterprise Vault is a little bit expensive."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault pricing is average, and I rate the solution a five out of ten for pricing."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault is an expensive solution."
"It's an affordable solution"
"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."
"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."
