EdbMails software for Enterprise Vault migration
Veritas Enterprise Vault is an enterprise information archive platform that has been around for a decade and specializes in archiving Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, files, and emails. When it was first developed, it provided much-needed relief to many organizations looking to archive their data for eDiscovery, legal, and compliance reasons. However, as time passed and newer technologies and solutions emerged, Enterprise Vault appears to be an add-on function to the existing ones, particularly when there is a need to have everything under one roof. For instance, businesses that use Microsoft 365 for their email communication platform see Enterprise Vault as somewhat obsolete now that Office 365 provides better off-the-shelf Archive and eDiscovery capabilities. Enterprise Vault archives are stored on-premises or must be uploaded to AWS or Azure for security, which may be an additional task. EdbMails is a Microsoft partnered software that can help you to import PST to Office 365. By using the application, you can directly migrate the archives exported as PST from Enterprise Vault to Office 365 in a few clicks. In this article, we explain the pre and post migration steps including the migration to Office 365.
Reasons for Office 365 migration from Enterprise Vault
- Though newer versions of Enterprise Vault are being released, it appears to be an additional burden when it comes to paying for license maintenance and upkeep.
- Enterprise Vault being an on-prem solution does not directly allow individual users to access their archive data the control remains with the IT Team.
- Exporting and managing archives must be done separately in Enterprise Vault, whereas in Office 365, everything is accessible through a single login.
- Office 365 combines a plethora of collaboration tools and features, as well as email and archives, making it extremely popular among small and large businesses.
- If users have already moved to Exchange online, it is extremely difficult for them to retain archives with Enterprise Vault if they do not wish to pay.
