Rahul Gill - PeerSpot reviewer
GWS/M365 Consultant at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
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.

Senior Paralegal at Wilenchik & Bartness Law Office
Powerfully simple legal software for processing, reviewing, and producing data
First of all, uploading the documents is super easy. You just throw it in a zip, and unless it's a PST, then you can throw it in directly. The process of tagging, and searching. It's got a greatly intuitive, advanced search mechanism. The best part of all is just the downloading of the actual Bates stamped documents, and then sharing them with other people. Then you can see when the other party has accessed it. So if they say, "I never got it." Then you can say, "Yeah, you did here. Here, you accessed it on this day at this time. So you did." It's like a date and time stamp. The dashboards are gorgeous. They have helped me through so many possibilities — I could talk all day about Logikcull. When you're getting ready to produce, it will say "You have things that are marked privileged." Or "You have things that are potentially privileged." What Logikcull does is gather as many email addresses for law firms in the world as possible. They will gather those email addresses, and then if there are any of those email addresses that come up, they will say, "These are potentially privileged. You might want to look at them before you produce them." They've got a good quality control mechanism within the program too. Eclipse SE doesn't because it's server-based, so you have to do quality control on your own. There's this built-in "Wait a minute. Don't produce, look at this first, before you do the production." It has really saved me a couple of times.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The audit part of the tool is the most useful for me."
"In my opinion, the search functionality is the best feature."
"Google Vault acts as a great method for retrieving files from Google Drive and Gmail."
"One of the noteworthy aspects is that nothing ever gets deleted, which is convenient."
"The most valuable features are automatic document and email retention."
"My impression is that the initial setup process is not that difficult."
"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."
"Google Vault is a solution we can use for the data export of end-users."
"Logikcull has been a huge time saver."
"The most valuable feature which I found was that it was very user-friendly. It's a very new age-friendly tech for uploading the data into the software. It also has a wonderful representation of data in terms of dashboards and pivot charts where you get your data represented in various angles and projections."
"Uploading the documents is super easy. You just throw it in a zip, and unless it's a PST, then you can throw it in directly."
"The most valuable feature which I found was that it was very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"It would be nice if Google would let us download the data in different formats."
"For us, customer service has been a bit lacking, probably with a rating of a five out of ten."
"Compared to Microsoft, they have more features in terms of compliance and retention policies."
"eDiscovery could be improved with additional information and an easier way to retain it."
"Google Vault lacks speed."
"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."
"Many of our customers are facing problems related to backup and data splitting, and when they ask Google technical support about the reason for the data splitting, they haven't received a proper answer."
"It would be better if they could include a technology-assisted review feature, which brings artificial intelligence into the cloud and the system itself. It would be great savings in terms of time and costs as you won't have a person manually going into a dense asset of documents and doing it."
"The guys over at Logikcull will do everything possible to avoid a screen-share — they do everything via text."
"If you have extensive litigation projects involving many clients, you might want to go for the standard tools like Relativity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you have Google Enterprise, then Google Vault is free to use."
"The pricing is fairly cheap."
"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 comes as part of a package deal for us."
"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 solution is expensive."
"Logikcull is very expensive. I wish it were less expensive."
"The cost depends on the case size of the data and the number of projects they're expecting to encounter. If it's small to medium-sized, this tool will be very good because it has a pay-as-you-go feature instead of an hourly billing rate, where they bill you every hour, and you have to go through the structure from beginning to end."
