Experienced easy deployment and stable performance but user support needs improvement
The most valuable features are that BetterCloud had a much more sophisticated workflow management toolset than Google itself. It was easy to build onboarding and offboarding workflows, which could handle the desired complexity versus out-of-the-box Google. BetterCloud allowed us to reallocate storage so all files created by a departing member would get reallocated to the manager, thus retaining access. BetterCloud saved help desk time by automating processes, providing a reasonable return on investment. BetterCloud now offers SaaS platform tracking capabilities, a key, previously missing feature.

Intelligent data policies have stopped insider threats and protect sensitive emails and USB copies
From a DLP product improvement point of view, I think if Proofpoint Enterprise DLP can provide a deep-dive investigation or user activity listed on the alert sections with details about what activity was performed by the users at the time of the alert, what checks were performed, whether any rule was created, any SharePoint was accessed, any confidential SharePoint was accessed, or any established connection was performed, this information would be helpful. If that information was also tagged or shown on the ticket, it would be easier to understand more details or investigation approaches and investigation concepts. If that feature can be possible from the vendor side, it will help us for the investigation and as an improvement.
