A good document discovery tool, with a variety of helpful functionality but at a very high price point
We mainly use this solution in litigation to gather, download and host case documents from our client's systems. We are then able to use the search tools to extract the information we need from the database We have found the automatic translation feature of this product to be a game changer…

Compliance monitoring has created a trustworthy, well-documented record of all team communications
I think Smarsh Enterprise Platform's WhatsApp capture solution still needs improvement; a big part of that is due to Meta's platform that puts many restrictions, but it is not as simple to set up and start using as the other tools. I understand this is something that Smarsh is pursuing to improve, and it is evolving over time. The issue is to develop something that the user finds frictionless; most tools are totally frictionless, and for example, the Teams solution is amazing because when they operate it, they see no difference at all before and after implementing the tool. It is fantastic and state of the art, but WhatsApp, unfortunately, is not the same experience due to Meta's restrictions.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
