Email archiving alternative for Google Vault: Why try Jatheon?
It’s no longer free to hold legacy mailboxes in Google Vault – you have to pay between $4 and 8$ to keep archived data of former employees. Per month. Per user. Bottom line: you will be paying around $5,000 just to retain data of 100 former employees per year.
If you need to buy Google Vault AU licenses, there are much better alternatives.
With Jatheon, you can stop chasing an Archived User license alternative. Instead, migrate your Google Vault data to a robust, customizable email archive which never charges for inactive mailboxes and provides dedicated support whenever you need it.
Here’s a quick rundown of features essential in email archiving—see how Jatheon stacks against Google Vault and ways you can cut archiving costs, while preserving all your Google Vault data:

Top 10 features you get with Jatheon’s Email Archiving Alternative for Google Vault
Find your Google Vault data in seconds | Like Google Vault export, but handles larger files |
Just like Google Vault, Jatheon’s search allows you to include various search operators to narrow down your search. Apart from using Boolean and wildcard operators, Jatheon’s information archiving software supports proximity and fuzzy search and can search through email attachments. Based on the latest search technology, advanced search enables you to search through large databases, do complex, organization-wide searches and pinpoint exact data in a matter of seconds. No matter how large your Vault archive is, Jatheon’s search will easily manage it. | Do you need more speed and efficiency when exporting data? Jatheon email archive brings a powerful alternative to Google Vault export. With Jatheon’s enhanced export feature, you’ll be able to export your search results to EML, PDF and PST – directly through the user interface without having to go through the Outlook Plugin or use online PST creators. Both these options are limited and can’t handle a large number of files. With Jatheon, you will be able to handle larger exports and save time and effort. |
Google Vault ediscovery alternative, with advanced features | A 64GB alternative to Google Vault export |
Jatheon email archiving suite is a perfect alternative to Google Vault for ediscovery. Jatheon’s archiving software comes with extensive compliance and ediscovery feature set – from customizable retention policies and automatic deletion after the retention window expires to legal hold, user activity trail and alerts, your legal and compliance teams can rest assured that all the data will be there when needed. | Having issues when running Google Vault export for larger files? Although bulk migrations aren’t the primary purpose of email archiving solutions, we believe that a great email archiver needs to have a robust bulk export functionality. With Jatheon, the default maximum size of the exported PST file is 3 GB, but can be easily customized to up to 64GB, depending on your total RAM size. Plus, Jatheon’s advanced export runs silently in the background and frees up the user interface for other tasks. |
All user information in a single archive | Total control of the archive, on your terms |
Preserve all data for users who leave your organization. While Google Vault archives only messages from Gmail, Jatheon lets you archive all incoming, outgoing and internal messages from all folders and mixed email environments. Plus, Jatheon supports the archiving of other data types like social media, text messages, calls, chat apps etc. and allows you to search all this data from a single interface. | Google Vault comes with inherent drawbacks associated with cloud-based products – it can be cost-intensive, especially for larger organizations with high employee turnover and many AU licenses to manage. For organizations working with sensitive client data or protected health information, it’s wiser to rely on an in-house archiving system for security reasons. Jatheon offers both hardware and cloud archiving solutions and works with all major email environments. |
Customizable user roles and permissions | Dedicated support team & feature requests |
Although Jatheon’s email archiving solutions come with 3 default roles with preset permissions, you can create an unlimited number of new roles and customize them to accommodate the specific needs of your organization, departments and teams. Whether you’ve used Google Vault for education or a large enterprise, Jatheon lets you fully customize your archiving and data retention, so that no piece of information gets out. | If you’re looking to migrate data from Vault AU license, or Google Vault, our dedicated tech support team will help you preserve all your user data safely, free of charge. We’re talking real, human 24/7 tech support, where every engineer can help. We listen to your feedback and improve our software continuously to accommodate customer feature requests. Jatheon has continual system monitoring that allows a rapid, proactive response and intervention for any software, hardware or network connectivity issues. |
Ease of use for admins and compliance managers | Restore VFE user data and Vault emails in a single click |
No one should struggle with email archive management, especially not administrators and compliance managers. Even experienced admins find it complicated to handle compliance and ediscovery actions on Google Vault. Jatheon’s user interface is straightforward, built for the 2020 user and allows effortless search and efficient archive management. | Google Vault users often cite one of the system’s main drawbacks – the fact that it’s quite complex, if not impossible, to restore emails to an email account. Jatheon lets you do this in a single click. |
