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.

Provides solid compatibility and integration with multiple solutions while having room for improvement in marketing and promotions

I must clarify that I can only speak to pricing aspects, not technical features or functionality. I am primarily involved in the commercial and management side. I cannot make judgments about backup solutions including Veritas eDiscovery Platform, Commvault, Rubrik, or Veeam. I can only discuss list prices, not discounted prices. I have not received full promotional or marketing information about the product. My review rating for this solution is 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Data retention is very valuable to us."

"My impression is that the initial setup process is not that difficult."

"Search feature is valuable for our customers."

"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."

"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."

"Overall, I would rate Google Vault a ten out of ten."

"Google Vault is a solution we can use for the data export of end-users."

More Google Vault pros

"The compatibility with other solutions is a key feature; the solution can be configured and integrated with multiple solutions seamlessly."

Cons

"Searching could be improved. There's a lot of limitations when searching with Google Vault."

"For us, customer service has been a bit lacking, probably with a rating of a five out of ten."

"Google Vault needs to improve its data export timing because sometimes, it takes a very long time to export the data."

"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."

"Customer service has been a bit lacking."

"The price of the solution could improve and the search could be easier."

"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."

"It would be nice if Google would let us download the data in different formats."

More Google Vault cons

"I must clarify that I can only speak to pricing aspects, not technical features or functionality."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Google Vault comes as part of a package deal for us."

"If you have Google Enterprise, then Google Vault is free to use."

"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."

"The solution is expensive."

"The pricing is fairly cheap."

"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."
