GAT Labs

This tool is a must-have for all G Suite Super Admins

We love how insightful this tool is, you can identify the what files have been shared out of your organization and change sharing parameters. Identify the top senders and receivers of the emails is also one of our favorites.

GAT+ has so many features that can be overwhelming at first but once you get the basics everything runs very smooth

Excellent Software

Comments: GAT+ is our only tool for monitoring our Google Workspace. It reports daily on our environment is essential to our daily operations, monitoring and compliance.

Excellent tool. I must have for security administrators needing to report and monitor Google Workspace. There is no other tool that has all the functionality and capability. Not to mention is very affordable.

Cons:

There are features we need tweaked to our unique environment and GAT labs is working on making those happen. Analytics data could be improved.

Auto notifications and ability to monitor student behaviors online are top features. Customer Support response is top notch.

A few to many false positives for certain filters, but easy enough to just delete and move on.

GAT+ and GAT Shield - thoughtful organization of Google Workspace intelligence

Comments: GAT Labs people are friendly, informed, never condescending to less technical humans. Their follow-up to routine inquiries is stellar. They want you to spend time in their application and take all kinds of measures to keep you using their apps, but unlike eye-ball seeking social media apps, time spent in GAT Labs apps is well spent and helpful for better management of your Google Workplace environment. The renewal experience is pleasant - they let their products speak for themselves.

Pros:

The GAT Labs products offer fast, easy searches of Workspace data and offers clean graphical illustrations for rich reporting, particularly for less technical people. I can't speak directly to business process integration as this is less applicable for our environment (single site elementary/middle school) but the recent addition of the Flow module allows for automation of tasks like on- and off-boarding, adds/moves/changes of employees from one to another department, and similar typical IT workflows. We're beginning our rollout of their Teacher Assist module which gives classroom teachers a method to monitor student time-on-task and manage classroom traffic, keeping students on assigned sites, pushing sites out from the teacher console, and freezing internet access when necessary. Teachers have been looking for this kind of help for a while now, particularly during 'life with Covid.'

Cons:

I have barely scratched the surface of GAT Labs capabilities, and it can be hard to determine what area to dive into next. I was initially concerned about support given that the corporate offices are in Ireland and we're in the US, but I have never waited long for support when I've requested it. If an issue can't be resolved in one call, they always follow up until the support case is closed. There is a bit of a learning curve, and so you can't just set things up and get predictable results without a bit of research, but the technical documentation is excellent and support always follows up with clarification when sought. The GAT Labs apps are the only ones I allow to push notifications to my browser client - every day there is a brief overview of a program feature or function, with links and references for follow up in the event you are interested in implementing. I wish I could pursue them all.
