Why teams switch from Veritas Enterprise Vault to Grotabyte
The capabilities that matter most when your archive has to do more than store email.
Modern sources, not just email and files
Enterprise Vault grew up around email, files, and SharePoint. Grotabyte unifies Microsoft 365 (Teams chats included), Google Workspace, IMAP mailboxes, and Claude Enterprise AI conversations — in one cloud-native archive that also reads your legacy PSTs.
Search by concept, not just keyword
Semantic search lets reviewers ask questions in natural language and retrieve results by meaning — combined with Boolean, proximity, entity, and metadata queries for precision.
AI conversations become records
Claude Enterprise chats, projects, attachments, and agent sessions are captured through Anthropic's Compliance API and archived alongside email. Each turn is kept as its own record rather than a transcript per conversation, so a supervision policy can catch the prompt that leaked the client list and a hold scoped to a date range knows which day it was said.
Investigations in minutes, not months
Customers have cut eDiscovery timelines from months to minutes, with chain of custody, legal holds, TAR/CAL review with elusion testing, and Concordance DAT + Opticon OPT productions with Bates numbering built in.
Deploy your way
On-premise or cloud from the same build — deployment is one environment variable, not a different edition. Per-tenant OIDC single sign-on routed by verified domain, passwordless email sign-in, and ten least-privilege roles, so security and IT keep full control.
Compliance across every mandate
A sealed, hash-chained ledger, retention policies, defensible deletion, and workflows for FOIA statutory deadlines, SEC/FINRA supervision, HIPAA, and CJIS — purpose-built for regulated industries.

Grotabyte replaces email-centric archiving with one archive across Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, on-prem Exchange, IMAP, AI assistants, and legacy PST files.
