Overpriced for storing documents, it is not user-friendly, and the support is paid hourly
I hate everything about it this product. It is not user-friendly. There is maybe one person in our office who has any proficiency with it. I don't like it at all. For litigation, what I wanted was a one-stop shop. Once the document is produced as an exhibit for example, then I want to be able to annotate on that document and use that during my trial versus using Casepoint for the production. However, I now have to somehow download that production into several PDFs. I can't use the sort feature or other features. I would prefer to leave it on Casepoint because now I have tagged it for witnesses, which is helpful in litigation, but the notes features on Casepoint is a tiny box in the bottom right of the document and that is not really helpful to me because of the way that I use documents in the trial is, for example, if you are going to be my witness, I draft a direct examination of you. When I get to the point in my direct examination where I want to cover an exhibit that I'm trying to admit with you, I hyperlink that. The document that I have hyperlinked has my questions and notes on the document, that I'm going to ask you about, but I can't do that in Casepoint.

Has supported data retention and export tasks while leaving room for greater automation and feature expansion
If we can have more APIs open for Google Vault, that would be great, and instead of doing it manually, it would be better to do it programmatically. I think there is an API available with Google Vault, though I'm not certain about it. I have never used Vault programmatically, but if APIs exist, then it's beneficial, and if there aren't any, we should have the capability for programmers to create some sort of scripting so they can fetch the data. I assess the export feature in Google Vault in terms of ease and efficiency as quite efficient because most of the data we want to see is available in MBOX and PST formats. If possible, I would want to see Google Vault support additional formats such as iCal, iCad, or CardDAV, which are for iPhone users.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup was quite straightforward. It's really just a matter of plug-and-play."
"Casepoint is very stable."
"Casepoint is scalable, and I don't have any issues with the scalability of this solution; it manages what we need as far as size."
"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."
"Overall, it's a very good product, and I recommend it with some consideration for future improvements."
"Google Vault retains all deleted data from the previous four years, acting as backup security so this vital information can be made available to anyone who needs it."
"What I appreciate about Google Vault is that one of the best features is the ability to use retention policies; it covers mail, chat groups, calendars, sites, Drive, and Google Voice, and the data will remain in Google Vault even if it gets deleted by the user accidentally or intentionally."
"Data retention is very valuable to us."
"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."
"My impression is that the initial setup process is not that difficult."
"The audit part of the tool is the most useful for me."
 

Cons

"The biggest pain point for me and most people is that when we have to update our passwords, we have to go back in and remap our web folders."
"I hate everything about it this product. It is not user-friendly."
"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."
"Customer service has been a bit lacking."
"Google Vault needs to improve its data export timing because sometimes, it takes a very long time to export the data."
"Compared to Microsoft, they have more features in terms of compliance and retention policies."
"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."
"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."
"EDiscovery could be improved. It's used for searching, holding, and exporting data for Vault and I believe it should be updated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's ridiculously overpriced and the bills are ridiculous."
"The pricing is fairly cheap."
"If you have Google Enterprise, then Google Vault is free to use."
"The solution is expensive."
"Google Vault is a cheaply priced product. Monthly payments are to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no extra costs apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
"Google Vault comes as part of a package deal for us."
"Last year, the price was randomly increased and our customers were really facing a challenge around this. Google launched new pricing under different plans, where formerly there were only three plans, and now there are four, each with their own separate usage allowances. I think it's good, though. The basic plan is now the Business Starter plan, and many customers find this plan very convenient and minimal in price. Overall, the pricing for all the plans is good."
