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. ----- ### "Sherpa Altitude IG optimizes modern information governance\!" — 5.0/5 > **Maria** | *19 April 2021* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. > > We were generally satisfied with product performance. It helped our team to configure internal data in a more structured way. ----- ### "Searching emails at rest" — 5.0/5 > **Marc** | *12 November 2020* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Good Info Gov functionality, but not out of the box" — 4.0/5 > **Chris** | *18 November 2020* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. > > Tool is providing what we expected; leadership team has been great - service-oriented, flexible, great to work with. ----- ### "Sherpa MailAttender to Altitude IG" — 4.0/5 > **Jeremiah** | *12 November 2020* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. > > Extremely satisfied with the Customer support. They have worked with our times and even after discovering a bug within the system they are responsive with status updates. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1024034/gimmal-discover?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1024034/gimmal-discover) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
