"Shield Delivers Modern AI based Surveillance and Fast Archive"

5/5

What do you like best about Shield?

What I like best about Shield is that it feels like a platform that was built around real compliance workflows. We use it for both archive and surveillance, and it’s been a lot easier to manage compared to our previous vendor.

The surveillance side gives us more meaningful alerts with less noise, and search/retrieval on the archive side is quick when we need to investigate something or respond to requests. The UI also feels much more modern than a lot of legacy tools in this space.

Honestly, another big difference has been the team behind the product. Support and account management have been very responsive, and it feels like they actually listen to feedback and understand the challenges compliance teams deal with day to day. That was a huge improvement from the larger vendor we used before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shield?

The initial setup and configuration took some time, since we have a larger enterprise environment with multiple communication channels and policies to map out. However, once everything was in place, it has been running well, and the extra effort upfront has definitely been worth it for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shield solving and how is that benefiting you?

Shield primarily addresses the challenge of managing and monitoring communications across multiple channels without relying on separate tools for archiving, surveillance, and investigations. Previously, much of the workflow felt fragmented and more reactive than it needed to be.

For us, the biggest gains have been improved visibility and quicker turnaround when reviewing potential risk or responding to regulatory requests. The surveillance features help surface the conversations that genuinely need attention, rather than overwhelming teams with irrelevant alerts. At the same time, having centralized access to the archive makes investigations and audits far more efficient.

It has also reduced operational overhead for the compliance team, since we’re dealing with less manual effort and fewer disconnected systems than we had in our prior setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
