Sherpa Altitude IG optimizes modern information governance!

We were generally satisfied with product performance. It helped our team to configure internal data in a more structured way.

Pros:

Sherpa provides a pattern search facility to investigate emails and other data documents based on enterprise requests. I mostly enjoyed the automation of data classification which boost our corporate teams' productivity as well as simplified to follow retention policies. Also, the software provides detailed data reports and visualization tools that worthy to utilize.

Cons:

I would say the software is more built for advanced users and as a fact requires efforts from newbies based on my experience. Moreover, I would love to see external service from the application support in future releases, besides the user documentation provided.

Searching emails at rest

Our experience was very positive. We were glad to have come across their solution, as it suited our need at the time and has continued to serve us well.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Altitude IG was one of the only products we could find that was able to do content scanning on existing emails stored in Exchange Online. It was cost effective and relatively easy to set up. Sherpa was also very helpful throughout the install process, as well as during the ongoing scans and tuning of the software.

Cons:

HIPAA rulesets are very basic and need tuning, but we were able to accomplish this with Sherpa support. The scans do take a long time, but that is typically due to Microsoft's throttling of Exchange throughput to 3rd parties.

Reasons for choosing Gimmal Discover

Altitude IG met exactly the functionality we needed.

Functionality

Pros:

Flexibility of product and connectors to allow us to manage documents and email in place. Ability to work with legacy systems (files shares, SharePoint on-prem) as well as M365 suite.

Cons:

Lack of a mid-level user support function. Product is more built for administrative users for running data analysis/reports and file audits. Have to work with them to create the capability to have an end-user approach to running various reports via menu-driven options.

Reasons for choosing Gimmal Discover

Targeted application and existing customer base was already doing almost everything we were looking to do - and at a much lower cost of entry.

Pros:

Setting up the application the first time required help, however I was pretty happy that after that point we had a pretty good understanding of how it worked and what other options would be available for the next project. It was intuitive and seems pretty simple to configure.

Cons:

If I had to pick something I did not like about the software is that it is more difficult to find the same options that MailAttender had all in one area. I feel like I am jumping around more to do the same things.

Reasons for choosing Gimmal Discover

We needed a Exchange rules runner on steroids. They catered to our specific request and the product executes it properly without issues. We set it up and don't have to worry about it running correctly every time.

Reasons for switching to Gimmal Discover

We needed the additional functionality of a system working with Exchange 2016.

efficient Data Management with Room for Improvement"

Overall, Gimmal Discover is a robust tool for data discovery and governance. It effectively identifies, classifies, and manages unstructured data, helping organizations streamline compliance and reduce risks. While the functionality is impressive, the user interface could benefit from modernization to enhance ease of use.

Pros:

The ability to have policies and workflows be scoped to either Active Directory groups or individual users makes this a huge plus. Once this is setup and working , there's little ongoing changes that need to occur unless you change groups or need to create new policies.

Cons:

The admin console is a little confusing at first and the workflow builder takes some getting used to.

Pros:

Valuable and powerful tool to have on-hand. I'd recommend mostly, though, because of the premiere technical support, guidance and personal attention received. Easy setup and support - fantastic use of SaaS availability and power along with local installed agents and control of data. Mostly leveraging file systems searching to start, but results have been so positive we expect to add Exchange Online and other compliance/data governance and classification options.

Cons:

The only thing holding me back at the moment is my own experience with the software. If i have a need then [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] (tech support) has always given me quick/responsive guidance to direct me on how to use the power of Altitude to more easily accomplish my goals.
