BetterCloud
BetterCloud is well suited for small to medium sized companies where a small technology support team can exponentially improve their capacity thru the available automation. When a company's data set starts to grow larger than 50-60 million objects and ~30k+ users there is still a good return on the investment but the population that BetterCloud has catered to for so long does not seem to be plentiful and shared experiences and community are just not there. Where a company that size might have a handful of technically capable team members that push for functionality that doesn't seem niche, there isn't much of a crowd to bounce those large scale ideas off of.

Cisco Cloudlock is a good fit for my organization consisting of 150 end users. While we have a small office product that can expand to cover any size organization, I would assume the overhead to monitor would increase. While my organization's business is in real estate, I would highly recommend this for all businesses that handle sensitive and private data. Being able to monitor our cloud infrastructure has allowed our security team to be more flexible in allowing approved users access as well.

Pros
BetterCloud
  • Allows us to quickly audit and assign delegates to email account, something that's completely missing in Google as an administrative function
  • Allows us to automate offboarding of a Google account
  • Allows us to perform bulk actions, like assigning email signatures and forwarding to hundreds of accounts at a time
  • Allows us to audit Google Drive files. Orphaned files are very common in Google Workspace, and BetterCloud allows us to find them and take ownership of them.

Cons
BetterCloud
  • Integration with Google in the App version to allow pushing of email signatures, this feature is available in the legacy version.
  • More canned reports, although custom reports are available for you to build yourself.
  • More onsite visits with customers if available, to be onsite and see what challenges are available first hand.

  • Although alert mechanism is good but it delays a bit.
  • For implementation of DLP we had to hire a expert it took a lot of time to set up.
  • Support [in my experience] is not good.

Support Rating
BetterCloud
Support for BetterCloud is excellent. They have fantastic email support who are very responsive and knowledgeable, but more importantly they have chat support that are absolutely top-notch. They have not only the knowledge to answer and help, but the capability to solve without escalations or runarounds. These support folks are the real deal.

They are very quick to respond and go the extra mile to help address our issues. That said, we've only needed them at the early stages of implementation for support help and occasionally when we want to do a full re-scan of our site. They are very flexible in working with us on the timing of such scans.

BetterCloud has a much more friendly UI when it comes to building workflows as I've mentioned before. Our team has visited Okta workflows a number of times but it was incredibly difficult to replicate our current BetterCloud workflows into Okta because the Okta UI for workflow building is hard to follow and create

Amazon Macie is limited to an AWS environment and fulfills some of the same functions that CloudLock does in SaaS products. Both are very valuable tools, so the decision is not really which to use, but whether to use both for their respective environments. In general I feel CloudLock is a more powerful tool because it connects to Microsoft 365, which is more business critical for our organization, but that really is a personal call.

Return on Investment
BetterCloud
  • Data monitoring: previously unavailable insight into our organization’s file-sharing habits and documents.
  • Granular roles: ability to set least-access permissions. And really, truly granular unlike some other applications.
  • Automation: we’ve already saved dozens of man hours using workflows. Gives us time to focus on things that matter without compromising common tasks.
