Gartner's evaluation criteria for vendors includes completeness of vision based on market understanding, marketing strategy, sales strategy, offering (product) strategy, business model, vertical/industry strategy, innovation, and geographic strategy, and ability to execute based on product, overall viability, sales execution/pricing, market responsiveness/record, marketing execution, customer experience, and operations. With this recognition, Veritas believes the company continues to demonstrate leadership for archived data through Veritas Enterprise Vault and Veritas Enterprise Vault.cloud. "In the age of broad regulatory compliance around data retention, Veritas is fully committed to helping our customers improve the management of their fastest growing data—email, documents and image files that can expose them to potentially harmful security vulnerabilities and unintended personally identifiable information leaks," said Mike Palmer, executive vice president, chief product officer, Veritas.
