Solid product, functionally rich, but complex.
The message archiving tool is very powerful and can handle many search / flagging scenarios, as well as numerous message types (SMS, E-mail, bloomberg, etc). With flexibility comes complexity. The solution is very complex and requires significant configuration. If hosting…

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.

Pros

"The message archiving tool is very powerful and can handle many search / flagging scenarios, as well as numerous message types (SMS, E-mail, Bloomberg, etc)."
"The stability is excellent."
"The archive allows the customers to search any items as far back as five or ten years ago."
"Support is great and they have a very good response time."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault has its advantages; it does the work that it's supposed to do effectively."
"The indexing and searching features are the most valuable features of Veritas Enterprise Vault."
"The integration capabilities are second to none."
"I use the solution to find data loss and restore the data."
"User behavior is very smooth."
 

Cons

"With flexibility comes complexity. The solution is very complex and requires significant configuration."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault should improve its indexing and customization options."
"The stability could be improved."
"Enterprise Vault is an Active/Passive node. It doesn't provide high availability with Active/Active."
"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."
"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."
"One of the big disadvantages is that the product doesn't cover structured data"
"To give a quick calculation, one year of Veritas Enterprise Vault is more expensive than five years of CommVault."
