From my personal experience, the only thing that bothers every one of us is that the GUI is not friendly. I have passed feedback through those measures, including a meeting with the vice president where I mentioned this, and they acknowledged that we are not the only ones who have complained about it, so they will get back to us. We are not using the automatic classification feature in Veritas Enterprise Vault. Regarding integration capabilities of the product, we have yet to activate that feature that would help us integrate with other services such as Microsoft SharePoint and Office 365. Although we tried to explore that cloud feature, it didn't materialize, so management decided against it. We did manage integration with VMware for cloning and restoring in the virtualization environment, which worked initially, but we encountered issues that required us to upgrade our vCenter for smoother integration. We haven't quite explored advanced indexing or search functionalities in the product, and though we see those features, there's never been a reason for us to search extensively, as the number of workloads backed up by NetBackup isn't that large thus far. I believe indexing can be automated. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Veritas Enterprise Vault an 8.

I came to the company last year, so I have been here less than a year, and the colleagues who are responsible for that platform asked me if I have any ideas about what should be done and how we should replace it. It is not so easy; that is why I just started gathering all the required information, and this site is one of those that could provide some beneficial info. But as I said, we are just actually starting; we would not do that unless the license costs went up so much, almost four times. My expertise is limited as I am not involved in that; the team just asked me for some perspective. To give a quick calculation, one year of Veritas Enterprise Vault is more expensive than five years of CommVault. That is the biggest issue because it would be much easier if the team were unhappy and said they were not satisfied with the product, not using it properly, or having some issues. Based on the review content, the overall rating would be 7 out of 10, with high marks for performance and features but low scores for pricing.
I'm aware of similar products called Discovery Accelerator and Compliance Accelerator in Veritas Enterprise Vault. eDiscovery is used for what is traditionally called journaling. It saves the data by stamping some attributes like date or sender name. Whenever we want to retrieve or fit some data, we can obtain it from eDiscovery. I'm working on both on-prem and hybrid versions. Veritas Enterprise Vault can be integrated with ChatGPT AutoPilot. I would recommend the solution to users who have high data and want to go for journaling and archiving. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
At our company, when we tried to integrate Microsoft 365 with Veritas Enterprise Vault, Mimecast was required. As Mimecast is also used for eDiscovery, our organization decided to decommission Veritas Enterprise Vault, it was a general decision to switch technologies. I would overall rate the product a nine out of ten.
There is no competition in the product family like Veritas Enterprise Vault. It runs very well. I would give it an eight out of ten. My advice would be: If you have 1000 end users and very large mailboxes, and you need to make sure the mail server is always available and working within your SLA claims, Enterprise Vault is really useful. It can also manage this process, but it depends on your users and processes.
You can set up the gateway, which will copy every incoming and outgoing email to the archive independently of the mailbox. Even if the user deletes this mailbox, it is still available in the archive. It can be a compliant solution that monitors all incoming and outgoing emails. The solution allows you to place a legal hold on some emails if you find them important. It allows the deletion of the data from the archive if it expires in ten years. It allows you to place a legal hold on this data even if it's expired. The solution's user experience and administrative interface for managing archives are quite straightforward and not complex. It doesn't take many employees to maintain the solution. I would recommend the cloud version of the solution because it's easy to run. Most issues with the on-premises version were related to the upgrade process for the SQL or Enterprise Vault parts. If it's running on the cloud, you only have to set the policies and outsource them. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Veritas Enterprise Vault is a robust solution primarily targeted towards enterprise customers, especially those with stringent compliance requirements, such as those in the banking sector. It helps archive crucial data and manages information governance. Organizations can streamline governance processes and improve compliance by utilizing automated classification to tag and categorize data. Integrating automated classification, DLP, and Veritas solutions strengthens lateral prevention measures. While the trend towards migrating from on-premises Exchange to Office 365 may impact the relevance of Veritas Enterprise Vault for many customers, there are still significant use cases where the product remains highly valuable. Particularly in regions where regulatory compliance and data sovereignty concerns make cloud adoption challenging for some organizations, Enterprise Vault continues to play a crucial role. It aligns well with the customers' needs for data retention and compliance. I rate it a nine out of ten.
I rate Veritas Enterprise Vault an eight out of ten. If you want to manage your emails and analyze them, it's a good product. It is good for analyzing because you can use the GTPR solution and track who wrote emails to whom, seeing if anyone is sending secret information through email. You can also track communication between all-time users. If someone sent a mail five years ago and needs to find it, you 100% find it with Enterprise Vault. It's a good product.

We are using the 12.5.3 version of Veritas Enterprise Vault. Veritas Enterprise Vault is currently the best archiving environment for an on-premise Microsoft Office 16 solution. We've been using it since 2007 and never had any issues. It works, and users are able to use it well. Depending on whether you're going to go on-premise or cloud, Veritas Enterprise Vault is definitely the way to go. From an administrative and implementation point of view, Veritas Enterprise Vault is one of the easiest software to install that will be up and running based on proper planning within two weeks. Microsoft's offering is not as mature as what Veritas Enterprise Vault offers. Overall, I rate Veritas Enterprise Vault an eight out of ten.

I recommend to my customers to open a new partition for every year or every six months. It depends on the company and how many items they archive, how many mailboxes are archived, to keep the backup very fast. When I close the partition, I won't need to backup anymore. When it's closed, it is not changing. There are many items, billions of them. To maintain, you can create a new partition every six months and back up a little bit more. The backup window is very convenient for the customer. If you are on-premise and cannot go to the cloud, this is the best solution for easy maintenance of your Exchange server. You can go through many mailboxes with several items without a problem. This product has done its job very well. I would rate Veritas Enterprise Vault a nine out of ten.
We're Veritas customers. We don't have a special relationship with the company. The solution has been deployed on on-premise and virtual servers as well, both on physical as well as virtual servers. I've been working with a variety of different deployment models. I've worked with the solution from version 9 all the way through to 12. I'd advise those considering using the solution to look at their requirements in terms of scaling, data compatibility, and data integration. These all need to be considered before choosing a product. Overall, I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. If it offered high availability, I would rank it higher.
Veritas Enterprise Vault is a comprehensive information archiving solution that helps organizations manage and protect their data. It enables seamless archiving of emails, files, and other unstructured data, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. With advanced search and retrieval capabilities, it allows users to quickly access archived information.
