Well suited - 1. Quick archival esp in Google workspace apps. Very easy to archive and store important conversations, chats, etc. 2. Search and eDiscovery - Very important feature. Less appropriate - 1. Export - Very limited options and sometimes a cause of concern due to limited options post eDiscovery. 2. Integration - Very limited integration options and leads to the use of multiple alternatives or workspaces. 3. Archival post deletion - No option for this that leads to missing important elements sometimes.

  • Discovery: It allows for easy discoveries by the compliance and cyber security departments.
  • Ethical walls: This keeps certain departments from talking to each other.
  • Very granular control. This is a big product meaning you can get very detailed with it.

  • Its configuration options were very large and required a good deal of time to learn all of the various settings.

The product is similar offering but it is already well integrated into the other g-suite products that we use. It works really well in terms of searching and indexing documents. Other products seemed more elaborate and were complex to implement and use. Since our use case was rather simpler data backup and retrieval, hence it seemed a good fit to implement

This was the only appliance of its kind that I have used. Other devices have different capabilities for web filtering such as the checkpoint firewalls, but none of them offered the overall solution that was deployed with this product at that time.
