Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This solution handles all of our primary functionality including email, message delivery, message archiving and calendars.""On-premises Microsoft Exchange is good because it protects data privacy.""The most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange are its ease of use, and simplicity of communication, and we can track communications between teams.""We've been using Exchange as an email platform. Our clients require multi-country, multi-regional email collaboration with controlled mail flow. The most valuable feature is the capability of message tracking and the protection of user data.""I find Exchange's basic mail features to be highly valuable.""Microsoft Exchange's most valuable feature is that it's old-fashioned communication, meaning it's good for people who aren't able to work comfortably in a cloud environment.""The backup and archiving features are valuable, it is user friendly too.""The exchange functionalities are good."

More Microsoft Exchange Pros →

"The integration capabilities are second to none.""Veritas Enterprise Vault is an archive solution for email and files.""The most valuable features are ease of use and performance. However, the performance can depend on the workload being used.""The archive allows the customers to search any items as far back as five or ten years ago.""The most valuable feature of Veritas Enterprise Vault is the on-premise recall from your email into Outlook.""The stability is excellent.""We use the solution to archive emails.""Organizations can streamline governance processes and improve compliance by utilizing automated classification to tag and categorize data."

Cons
"Load balancing is lacking.""The default storage capacity is too small.""The management of .pst files and archiving need improvement.""I would like to see Microsoft Exchange improve their documentation.""In terms of what should be improved, they should probably move to a cloud option like Office 365. We would like to get this functionality without the need to deploy complex hardware and software solutions. This should be the next thing, making Exchange more related to Office products, which are more cloud-oriented, less on-premise or desktop-oriented solutions, like the direction Google is strongly moving towards.""The solution should be easier to deploy.""From a reliability perspective, they need to improve the search engine, it is not very powerful.""I'd like the archiving process to be faster."

More Microsoft Exchange Cons →

"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.""The integration needs to improve.""Dealing with personal information, such as documents that contain a personal number, personal ID or something like that should be improved. Sometimes it works poorly in that regard.""Veritas Enterprise Vault's cloud backup solution should include the journal archiving feature along with the standard licensing package.""Cost is high for Veritas Enterprise Vault.""The solution is not user-friendly and the restoration is not fast. It's also tricky to get information from it.""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."

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."
  • More Microsoft Exchange Pricing and Cost Advice →

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