Featured Reviews

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.
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

"We use the solution to archive emails."
"Organizations can streamline governance processes and improve compliance by utilizing automated classification to tag and categorize data."
"User behavior is very smooth."
"Compared to other third-party products, the solution's most valuable features are its cost and security."
"The integration capabilities are second to none."
"Enterprise is a user-friendly product."
"I use the solution to find data loss and restore the data."
"The data retrieval process was seamless with Veritas Enterprise Vault"
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"One of the big disadvantages is that the product doesn't cover structured data"
"The platform's price could be affordable for small businesses."
"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."
"The file-level archiving is very important in Enterprise Vault 12 and this doesn't really exist in early versions."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault should improve its indexing and customization options."
"To give a quick calculation, one year of Veritas Enterprise Vault is more expensive than five years of CommVault."
"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."
"Technical support could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Enterprise Vault is a little bit expensive."
"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."
"It's an affordable solution"
"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."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault is an expensive solution."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault pricing is average, and I rate the solution a five out of ten for pricing."
"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."
