Find out what your peers are saying about Google, Commvault, Microsoft and others in eDiscovery."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."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"The audit part of the tool is the most useful for me."
"Data retention is very valuable to us."
"My impression is that the initial setup process is not that difficult."
"The most valuable features are automatic document and email retention."
"Google Vault acts as a great method for retrieving files from Google Drive and Gmail."
"IBM StoredIQ Suite helps to address problems like data discovery, records management, compliance activities, storage optimization, and data migration initiatives."
"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."
"Google Vault needs to improve its data export timing because sometimes, it takes a very long time to export the data."
"The knowledge base is not as in-depth as it should be."
"Google Vault lacks speed."
"It would be nice if Google would let us download the data in different formats."
"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."
"The price of the solution could improve and the search could be easier."
"eDiscovery could be improved with additional information and an easier way to retain it."
"The product was born and designed to be used inside the IT department, but it would be improved by allowing end-users to search for info related to specific needs."
