Why do I need GAT+ if I have Google Workspace for Education Plus ?

While Google has improved reporting and control with its Google Workspace for Education Plus edition, we believe the Admin console still falls far short from what Admins really need to fully understand and manage their school domains.

GAT+ continues to fill in those gaps, complementing and enhancing what you can do in the admin console.

See the big picture and control even the finest details!

How our GAT+ Drive DLP solution stacks up against Google Workspace for Education Plus 👉

Google adopts a single approach to DLP. That is; scanning for reg ex. on files and emails in storage.

While GAT takes two approaches. Scanning for reg. ex. only on documents shared outside the domain (done in GAT+), and scanning for all sensitive content while it’s being typed (done with GAT Shield).

Google’s DLP allows Admins to search all content with a regex. on all Drive files all the time.

While GAT+ focuses only on content that is shared out from Drive to external users.

Google’s DLP focuses on Drive and Email only.

While GAT Shield scans for reg ex. on all web pages and can catch things in real-time (like school credit cards being used on eBay).

GAT does not cover data at rest, but it covers far more use situations by watching every web page in real-time.

Meaningful reports in ‘1 click’

Admins need all the information, for every user and every Drive, crunched into comprehensive ‘1 click’ reports, with powerful overviews, and multiple top views.

GAT+ not only covers the files of your users, but also files of external users shared into your domain. This critically important view is only available in GAT+.

We also present Admins with eight other views of their Drive data — Each view is integral to a proper understanding of what’s happening in your Google Workspace Drive environment.

Get reports not only on files shared out, but also files shared in.
Not only can you search by metadata, but also by file content.
Any report you build, you can turn into a scheduled report.
Get powerful overviews with data already processed for you.
You’ll notice right away that ‘Events’ is just one of the report tables for Drive.

Use Cases

Handle Leaving Users' Shared files

Let’s say user X is leaving your school or district, maybe rather too quickly.

Now you need to find all the files they shared out in the last 2 weeks and revoke those shares.

Maybe even get granular and keep the shares made out to parents for example, and only revoke those made out to unknown Gmail accounts.

With GAT+ and GAT Unlock the above can be done with a few simple clicks.

Delete Spam Email

Say your entire domain has been hit with a spam email.

Some users have already opened it and now you need to get in there and remove it from every mailbox before it becomes a crippling issue.

GAT+ lets you find that email in every box it exists, and GAT Unlock allows you to permanently remove it in one action.

It only takes a simple search for Admins, followed by 3 or 4 clicks to remove.

See your Domain Connections Graph

Suppose you’re asked to create a report that shows all the domains you share files out to, all the domains that share files into your domain, as well as the volume of sharing to each domain.

With GAT+, it only takes you a single click to accomplish that.

On/Offboarding Users Easily in Google

School admins typically onboard and offboard dozens of students and staff members each year.

That’s why you need an easy way to do this , in bulk, for each grade and/or staff department.

From giving each user the correct email signature, to sending out the right welcome email, preloading their accounts with the correct file access, adding the right procedure files, filling their address books with the right seed data, etc.

Likewise, when Offboarding users you need a simple way to gather their files and emails to a safe account and reduce license costs.
