Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The technical support is fine.""It is easy to use and we can allow many users because now our users are scattered They over a wide area. We can use it from anywhere. That is the main benefit for us.""The initial setup is very simple.""I find the desktop version of Microsoft Exchange looks better than the online version. You can make it a white background. You might be able to make the online background white, but I have no idea how to do that. I know how to do it only on the desktop version""Now, we manage to serve almost 99% of the information.""It is very well integrated with other Microsoft programs, teams, and so on. They work well together.""Exchange is easy to use. It also has a built-in calendar for all the stuff I'm supposed to be looking at and doing. Exchange tells you if you have a doctor's appointment or a scheduled call. It also has a place to store and manage your contacts. If I want to add a new contact, it will put in information about that contact stored anywhere within the Microsoft Suite.""Exchange's interface is good. All of our engineers like it and are accustomed to using it."

"User behavior is very smooth.""Enterprise is a user-friendly product.""The most valuable feature of Veritas Enterprise Vault is the on-premise recall from your email into Outlook.""Veritas Enterprise Vault is an archive solution for email and files.""We use the solution to archive emails.""The stability is excellent.""The integration capabilities are second to none.""The archive allows the customers to search any items as far back as five or ten years ago."

Cons
"The only thing that could be improved is the pricing.""One thing for improvement would be to have an offline version of Exchange available for use if our connection goes down.""Exchange can be a little finicky, sometimes, or flakey. Last week, for example, I had gone into my calendar to check on some briefings that I had established, and then went back into my inbox, and suddenly the view had changed. I had no idea what it was that I had done, and I couldn't figure out how to get that view back. I took a productivity hit as a result of that, trying to fix it, due to the fact that it just wasn't what I wanted. It wasn't what I was used to working with. Two different tech support people had to work with me in order to get the view back to what I wanted just so I could be productive.""The security features could be improved. There should be a better policy management system.""In terms of probability, every now and then there are changes coming and going. The changes are not that frequent because every month they got updates back, so that is an issue.""Some users encounter stability issues. I connect with the support team through my local partner, which takes time.""The main problem with Microsoft products is that we're constantly required to install patches and fixes.""The setup is difficult so could be easier."

More Microsoft Exchange Cons →

"Cost is high for Veritas Enterprise Vault.""Veritas Enterprise Vault should improve its indexing and customization options.""The platform's price could be affordable for small businesses.""The deployment phase is very hard.""The file-level archiving is very important in Enterprise Vault 12 and this doesn't really exist in early versions.""The stability could be improved.""Veritas Enterprise Vault's cloud backup solution should include the journal archiving feature along with the standard licensing package.""The product is a very complicated solution. It is not easy to upgrade and get alerts of issues. You have to check it all the time to see if there is an internal error."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "They are flexible when it comes to pricing, unlike most of the other vendors I have dealt with."
  • "It's working very well. There is no problem, but the price is not the best."
  • "Its price is okay."
  • "It's a little bit expensive."
  • "Its price is very affordable, and basically, it is the standard of the industry. We have the Exchange 365 subscription, which includes the usage of Exchange Online. I don't know the specific cost, but it is the retail price of Microsoft 365 E3 licenses. Microsoft's licensing is not very easy to understand. Microsoft changes rules every other day, which makes it difficult for us to understand the licensing not only for Exchange but also for other products. It can sometimes be really complex to understand what you need to have in order to comply with Microsoft licensing."
  • "Microsoft doesn't have a unit price, it's based on the quantity, and they offer great discounts."
  • "We are currently using enterprise licenses for the solution. They are different pricing models available. There are individual, cloud-based, and enterprise licenses all with different pricing models. The larger the number of users, the lesser the price. For small to medium companies like us, we feel it is expensive."
  • "Its price is fair."
