My main use cases for Veritas Enterprise Vault are for backup of databases and servers. We use it basically for backup of everything in the environment—different types of databases, flat file servers, Exchange servers, and various workloads within our network. We also use it for recovery and archiving to tape, and the Enterprise NetBackup has a feature that helps archive backups beyond the retention policy. It is agnostic because it can work with other OEM devices.

I am using Veritas Enterprise Vault. The company has been using Veritas Enterprise Vault for many years, more than five, maybe even 10, and they have been very happy with it. Until recently, when these parts were acquired by a different company, the cost simply went too high. In our organization, we have approximately several thousand users. This is the company's policy; we are actually using Veritas Enterprise Vault for archives, so we are not going to implement any kind of Cloud solution for that purpose for at least two or three years.
Around 50% of my clients use Veritas Enterprise Vault. A few clients use the solution for archiving, and the remaining clients use it for journaling. Customers who want to keep the data for their purposes use the tool for journaling.
The use cases for Enterprise Vault are data archiving, log backup, mail archiving and saving data space from the current environment. The main purpose is data archiving: log backups and mail archiving. It can also be used for logs for previous access management and database.

The product is very useful for archiving emails. I didn't use the file archive solution much, but it's a very useful tool for emails because it keeps all the emails on each site and Exchange's usage. If one has a large environment for Exchange, they can keep their emails on Enterprise Vault because it is singularly used for emails.

We archive our emails to store them. We can archive our emails based on rules and we archive them after a couple of months. It offers the option to access the emails even if they’re archived. It releases the space from your mailbox, but you can still access the email. As a tool, it works fine. I only need to touch the tool if the servers are down. It’s stable. The only issue we have is when there isn’t network communication.

I am not an end-user with this product. I'm a technical consultant. I am responsible for the migration, as well as the upgrades of this product for my customers. We use this solution in large enterprise companies, with several mailboxes, and are not able to go through the cloud, due to regulation or other similar reasons. These companies need a reliable archive solution, and I always recommend Enterprise Vault.
