Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Exchange's interface is good. All of our engineers like it and are accustomed to using it.""It is user friendly.""The most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange are its ease of use, and simplicity of communication, and we can track communications between teams.""The solution can scale well.""Exchange is a robust system that is well suited for an enterprise environment. It's always up, and we hardly face any technical issues. Exchange has a web interface and integrates perfectly with Microsoft Outlook. This web interface can be easily used to change the passwords from the domain controllers.""For me, the solution is very user-friendly. I've used it a long time and I know where everything is.""Customers can benefit from this new pricing model because it's expensive and now with the subscription they can budget for this.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

More Microsoft Exchange Pros →

"I did not face issues with the product's scalability...The solution's technical support is good.""An advantage is integration with your IP directory.""It has a robust search but has often been difficult for people to learn.""The product can be integrated with different solutions.""The tool's implementation has made life easier for customers. It is sold by SAP. The integration between SAP and the solution is good, making it easy to access the documents. It is widely recognized as a market leader in enterprise document management.""We like how the solution allows us to have retention of records and workflows, as well as its fire plan."

More OpenText Content Manager Pros →

"Organizations can streamline governance processes and improve compliance by utilizing automated classification to tag and categorize data.""The most valuable feature of Veritas Enterprise Vault is the on-premise recall from your email into Outlook.""The most valuable features are ease of use and performance. However, the performance can depend on the workload being used.""The integration capabilities are second to none.""Enterprise is a user-friendly product.""Veritas Enterprise Vault is highly stable and has low-maintenance.""I use the solution to find data loss and restore the data.""The stability is excellent."

More Veritas Enterprise Vault Pros →

Cons
"They keep making all these changes, and our system was down for four or five days. They finally got it up, but there are still lots of quirks.""There can be occasional challenges during the product's implementation phase, making it an area where improvements are needed.""Microsoft could improve on Exchange's hybrid deployment or HCW. They need to improve on that because I was having many issues with HCW in our environment at times.""The solution could be more user-friendly.""The main problem with Microsoft products is that we're constantly required to install patches and fixes.""From a security point of view, Microsoft should enhance the new features. Technical support could also be better.""The only thing that could be improved is the pricing.""When an update wants to come, it should just come maybe once or twice rather than having us deal with constant updating."

More Microsoft Exchange Cons →

"Support could be enhanced. The first line of support consists of individuals who lack experience with some key aspects. When you create a support ticket, the time to resolve the issue may be prolonged because the first person may not understand the system or the solution.""Due to very limited use in the industry, vendor and contract support are hard to find.""The ease of use should be addressed.""OpenText Content Manager needs to improve its user interface. Its installation process is difficult and can be made easier.""The stability of the solution is an area of concern where improvements can be made.""The product could improve its scalability."

More OpenText Content Manager Cons →

"Cost is high for Veritas Enterprise Vault.""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 should improve its indexing and customization options.""I cannot perform application backup, and I am not able to repair the license.""The stability could be improved.""The file-level archiving is very important in Enterprise Vault 12 and this doesn't really exist in early versions.""Veritas Enterprise Vault's cloud backup solution should include the journal archiving feature along with the standard licensing package.""The solution is not user-friendly and the restoration is not fast. It's also tricky to get information from it."

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."

  • "I would suggest that you do a thorough evaluation of all competing products and look for support for these products in your local area."
  • "The fees incurred are for the licensing and maintenance."
  • "I rate the product price an eight or nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The solution is expensive."
  • "The solution's licensing cost depends on the customer domain. Though its costs are high, the product is worth the money. You have to pay a one-time cost and support costs."
  • More OpenText Content Manager Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "There is a license required for this solution and it is typically is paid annually."
