We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and Google Vault based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two eDiscovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Great archive feature, OnePass, for the file system and Exchange servers."
"It's a complete software that can protect all the main applications. Perhaps that's the feature I like most. The integration with the NetApp and other apps is also very nice."
"Real-time synchronization is a good feature."
"The product is user-friendly."
"It is just about as flexible as you can get; simple. You can put it anywhere you want. You can put it on-prem or in your cloud. I could see where a team that's looking for more of a follow the bouncy ball type of solution might get a little confused. "Oh, no. What do you mean I might have to do it this way or I can't do it that way?" Sometimes, people just want to be told what to do. For an enterprise environment, like we are at NDOT, everything we do is not standard. It is not industry standard; it is not normal. We have all kinds of one-offs. We do need flexibility in the solutions that we get. I will say that Metallic has been extremely flexible in that sense, where we are able to follow the bouncy ball if we wanted to. Obviously, we didn't. We did it our way and Metallic, as a whole solution, provided that to us with no issues."
"Complete Data Protection is convenient because you can manage various types of databases, and it's pretty easy to set it up."
"We use Commvault Command Center for backups and restores and for the creation of new clients. We use it for other functionalities as well. In terms of VMware, I can go directly to the Command Center, enter VMware, and I can search it directly. Command Center is very useful and it can be used for more advanced techniques."
"Commvault integrates well with all types of operating systems and supports heterogeneous environments."
"The audit part of the tool is the most useful for me."
"In my opinion, the search functionality is the best feature. With Google Vault, we can quickly search for any email within Gmail accounts. And then we can get further information, such as if you want the full header or want to know any extra details about the emails."
"Google Vault acts as a great method for retrieving files from Google Drive and Gmail."
"Search feature is valuable for our customers."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"Data retention is very valuable to us."
"You can retrieve any type of data; for example, if a user accidentally deletes data, as an admin with access to Google Vault, you can easily restore the deleted data."
"The most valuable feature of Google Vault is its reliability."
"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge."
"There is room for improvement in its user interface and web console, called Command Center. They are improving it every year so if they continue in that direction, I think it will be a very reliable console."
"We had some small issues with the reporting, but that was just a matter of fine-tuning the kinds of messages we receive by email. It was a little overwhelming in the initial configuration. So we reviewed our configuration with our partner and customized the reports so that we only get the important reports. I haven't seen any big issues or things that the solution is missing."
"There is room for improvement in terms of data security."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"Training."
"One issue we face is the complexity of the console. That could be improved on. It takes users time to get familiar with Commvault. On average, it takes our customers between one and three months to learn it. The console and the way you configure Commvault have very advanced settings. It takes time to understand how it works."
"It is a little more complicated than it really needs to be."
"It would be nice if Google would let us download the data in different formats."
"Searching could be improved. There's a lot of limitations when searching with Google Vault."
"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."
"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."
"eDiscovery could be improved with additional information and an easier way to retain it."
"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."
