Helps with GDPR compliance through data discovery and management

We knew that we have a lot of scanned docs inside our repositories, but there was a big issue where we needed to know which content was really an image. Because of the OCR made at runtime during the scan, now we know exactly the data we have. When you have zipped documents the scan will unzip them and find the data inside.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of ROI a company will, in a short time, recover from the initial investment, because the product, other than allowing a company to be GDPR compliant, will give a lot of information on how the storage is used and this will guide the IT to better usage of this resource."

"IBM StoredIQ Suite helps to address problems like data discovery, records management, compliance activities, storage optimization, and data migration initiatives."

"We have found the automatic translation feature of this product to be a game changer because we work with a lot of clients from China."

Cons

"The product was born and designed to be used inside the IT department, but it would be improved by allowing end-users to search for info related to specific needs."

"We would like to see some improvement in the price for documents to be hosted via this solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"This solution has a fairly high price-point, which may not make it suitable for all organizations. Using this product incurs both high fixed costs, and marginal costs for each additional case being added."
