Charles Nwaokukwu - PeerSpot reviewer
Head, Datacenter and IT Enterprise Applications at GTBANK
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
Partial Owner at Storage One
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

"From my experience, the most beneficial aspects of the product are the lower cost per terabyte and the security of old data with ease of access."
"Compared to other third-party products, the solution's most valuable features are its cost and security."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault is an archive solution for email and files."
"The integration capabilities are second to none."
"We have so many products, including Commvault and other products, that said, we identified Enterprise Vault as the best option for integrating with different products and different features."

"The most valuable feature of Veritas Enterprise Vault is the on-premise recall from your email into Outlook."
"We currently have and still have a very high investment gains when compared to our investment cost."
"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."
"Everything is in one console, including the security and managing the data there, such as mailboxes, email, et cetera - everything."
 

Cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There is a license required for this solution and it is typically is paid annually."
"The pricing is very high."
"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"
"Enterprise Vault is a little bit expensive."
"The price for Enterprise Vault is around €100 per user."
"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."
