What differentiates Google Vault from other similar products?

It has a reliable and effective information governance model. The capability to preserve data for a specific time period is unique and unmatched.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

What do you dislike most about this product?

Has rigid rules for data editing and export.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is a great way to preserve your gmail and drive sensitive data but at a costly price.

"Excellent program to store documents online"

7 /10

What differentiates Google Vault from other similar products?

It's different from other programs because it's hard to set up and takes a long time, but it's worth it.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Using Google Vault, preserving your Gmail inbox is a breeze. With it, we can safely save copies of anything sent or received via email, chat, or Google Drive. Managing Google Workspaces is a breeze in our current setup.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Google Vault is an incredible archive but not a fantastic search tool. Some fundamental capabilities, such as deduplication, are absent. It's also difficult to export specific chat sessions and documents.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you're not very familiar with Google Workplace and this is your first time using Google Vault, I highly recommend calling a Google Workspace support agent from your admin account; they'll walk you through the full procedure and may even set up a virtual Hangout to assist you.

Pros

Feature Ratings Average rating of all product features, some of which may not be shown below

Storage Optimization 'Storage optimization, unlike std. backup & restore, is for long term data storage, organizing it to find & restore information easily

Data Compression Allows for more data to be stored on media. Data compression can potentially slow down access times to the data

Data Encryption Protects your data from those who have physical access to storage media (including secure storage provider), and ensures data has only authorized access

Data Format Native Generic Offers multiple options from native proprietary format to industry-standard generic format to restore or import onto any target system

Long Term Data Retention The software should have fault tolerant abilities in order to recover from minor data corruptions. Depends largely on the media (such as tapes)

External Storage Connectivity Data archiving usually stores data on external, removable media that is optimized for long-term storage, at an offsite location.

Platform Support Does the data archive system provide the hardware platform support that the organization needs.

Data Deletion Control and Space Gain The ability to reclaim valuable hard drive space freed due to the data archiving process based on the software’s successful confirmation & verification

Restore to Current Format Ability to restore to whichever “current” format the organization has in place at the time of archive data restoration

Multiple Format Support Ability to support multiple media formats, including tape, WORM drives, optical media, etc. Also, proliferation of cloud and support cloud storage.

Granularity 'The granular storage of data, such that it can be searched and recovered in an expedient manner.

Vendor Capability Ratings Average rating of all vendor capabilities, some of which may not be shown below
