A highly scalable solution that provides a seamless experience and enables data retention
I use the product for my organization’s data retention and export. We can get any user’s information from the product if someone needs it. If a user leaves the company, we can export their data and download it in PST or MBOX format Earlier, when we needed any backup, we had to either configure…

A reliable solution with great searching capabilities and good tech support.
It depends on what you need. If you're a law firm and you have a lot of cases, then RelativityOne might be something to look into. If you're a small business and you're really focusing on small-level reviews, then there might be cheaper options for you. I think RelativityOne, because it is so powerful, can be very difficult to use and there's a lot that can go wrong if you don't know how to use it. In order to get the most out of your subscription, I would definitely recommend having someone who has had experience with it and knows how to work the program if you decide to make the investment. Alternatively, budget for some of the Relativity training classes. I would rate this solution as a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 audit part of the tool is the most useful for me."
"The most valuable features are automatic document and email retention."
"Data retention is very valuable to us."
"Google Vault acts as a great method for retrieving files from Google Drive and Gmail."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"My impression is that the initial setup process is not that difficult."
"Google Vault is a solution we can use for the data export of end-users."
More Google Vault pros
"kCura Relativity is easy to use, and it is reliable."
"There are a lot of ways to QC your work and save your searches, and we had really good case support from the Relativity team."
"Caplets are a very good technical feature."
"The ease of navigation from dock to dock, and that kind of usability, is quite helpful."
"I like Relativity's blackout feature, as well as the Case Dynamics function."
"The initial setup was relatively straightforward."
 

Cons

"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."
"eDiscovery could be improved with additional information and an easier way to retain it."
"The price of the solution could improve and the search could be easier."
"Searching could be improved. There's a lot of limitations when searching with Google Vault."
"The knowledge base is not as in-depth as it should be."
"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."
"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 needs to improve its data export timing because sometimes, it takes a very long time to export the data."
More Google Vault cons
"They require more built-in support for some third-party applications."
"I would definitely not recommended it unless you have someone who has had experience with it and knows how to work the program."
"The platform's integration of advanced AI features could further enhance its capabilities."
"There are a lot of bugs on the development side."
"The price per user could be improved. We'd like for it to be more affordable."
"What I dislike about Relativity is that we have to go through the host in order to do productions and loads. It is not a do-it-yourself tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The pricing is fairly cheap."
"Google Vault comes as part of a package deal for us."
"The solution is expensive."
"If you have Google Enterprise, then Google Vault is free to use."
"The pricing is extremely complicated."
"Users are typically charged a fee per user account and a separate fee based on the amount of data processed and hosted."
"They are maintaining the per gigabyte pricing, and it's based on tiers of how much data you host with them."
