"I would like to see some additional functionality in terms of employee monitoring, as part of a work-from-home security solution."
"The product must enable bulk user management."
"eDiscovery could be improved with additional information and an easier way to retain it."
"So, when doing a search, perhaps in some instances when you use terms, the information is not very precise in the sense that I'm not getting what I'm looking for. And in some instances, the information, not all the time, but in some instances, it might not be accurate. For example, when doing a search, if you use too many terms, it might not return any results."
"The knowledge base is not as in-depth as it should be."
"Although it does a good job of searching through data and exporting it, I feel that Google Vault should have more export options available to the user. As a reseller, our customers demand a lot from their Google products, and exporting is one area where there's a lot of improvement needed."
"The price of the solution could improve and the search could be easier."
"Google Vault needs to improve its data export timing because sometimes, it takes a very long time to export the data."
"Google Vault lacks speed."
"One thing I've noticed is that it splits the data files into multiple parts, like the PFT files. For example, when there is a large data size of any account, the backup process splits it into many files. This can be confusing and not very efficient when trying to manage the backups."
