A reliable solution that could benefit from some adjustment, stability-wise
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. It only happens once every three months, but it's a nuisance more so than anything else. The other applications we use, when the software is updated, we don't have to reset our passwords. That's the biggest pain point there. Usually, when they update Casepoint, there are usually some glitches that need to be ironed out. not always, but sometimes. My biggest pain point would be the password reset. Sometimes it freezes with can be aggravating.

Capabilities in data management, eDiscovery, backup solutions, and ensuring data security and accessibility for admins
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. It would be better if the backup process creates one or two files instead of numerous smaller ones. It should be easier for the admin to manage the data and perform imports or uploads to other accounts. So the backup solution should be more streamlined and provide options for easier data management and import/export processes. There is room for improvement in this aspect. It would be great to see enhancements in this area to make the backup process more user-friendly and efficient. Another area of improvement is support. Earlier, Google support used to be very attentive and responsible, but in the past few months, I've noticed delays in their responses, not only related to Google Vault but also to other products.

"The audit part of the tool is the most useful for me."
"The most valuable features are automatic document and email retention."

"Search feature is valuable for our customers."

"I hate everything about it this product. It is not user-friendly."
"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."
"The price of the solution could improve and the search could be easier."
"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."
"Google Vault lacks speed."
"The knowledge base is not as in-depth as it should be."
"It would be nice if Google would let us download the data in different formats."
"Customer service has been a bit lacking."
"eDiscovery could be improved with additional information and an easier way to retain it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's ridiculously overpriced and the bills are ridiculous."
"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."
"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."
