"Google Vault is a solution we can use for the data export of end-users."
"The most valuable feature of Google Vault is its reliability."

"The Large File Send feature comes in handy when you have to send fairly large attachments."
"It has all the features required for distribution, such as the ability to mail."
"The security is pretty good, and that's why we're going to upgrade to an even more advanced package. We used it when we had a power issue, and it works. It has been pretty reliable, and the support has been quite good."
"Searching could be improved. There's a lot of limitations when searching with Google Vault."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution could improve and the search could be easier."
"My personal opinion is that Google Vault could improve if they could have a similar version to Microsoft 365 where you can have an eDiscovery manager account. With this, you can separate a regular person from an organization and just transfer the specific files."
"Google Vault lacks speed."
"It would be nice if Google would let us download the data in different formats."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."
"The interface isn't the best. How everything works on the back end is confusing."
"The price of the solution is expensive. It can improve by reducing the price."
"Technical support has been slower than it was in the past, likely due to the pandemic."
"The interface and the documentation could be improved. They can also include some more training resources and content like video. While setting things up, I had to search for the information quite a bit. It took me time to find the correct way to do something. The information is there, but it is sort of all over the place. They can create a better help knowledge base or help portal. It retains your email for 45 days. They can maybe increase this duration."
