As data increasingly drives business transformation initiatives, organizations require adaptable solutions to effectively understand their unstructured data. At DryvIQ, we’re committed to providing innovative solutions that make unstructured data accessible, analyzable, and actionable at scale, which is why we’re excited to announce our latest enhancement: User-Based Data Discovery.
Following our customer-driven roadmap mantra, this advanced capability was developed in direct response to customer feedback. Designed to enhance your organization’s ability to discover, classify, and manage unstructured data based on user-driven insights, this new feature addresses the continued demand for comprehensive, intelligent data management solutions.
Discover Your Data Through User-Based Intelligence
DryvIQ now empowers administrators to organize and view powerful content insights and unstructured data discovery results by user or group accounts, in addition to repository location or content attributes. This enhancement gives administrators a clearer understanding of how data is used across the organization, offering a more intuitive and user-centric approach to data management. This capability mirrors the account-based administrative reporting in platforms like Microsoft OneDrive, Box, Google Workspace, and others – but with a holistic view of your entire data landscape.
Whether identifying and reducing data risk, optimizing storage capacity and data retention, or preparing for a migration, DryvIQ administrators can now get the full picture of how enterprise data is being stored, accessed, and shared across all their on-premises and cloud repositories through a single-pane of glass. With these insights in hand, they can more effectively plan, communicate, and execute data transformation initiatives.
Behavior-Driven Data Insights
With DryvIQ’s new User-Based Data Discovery capabilities, you can:
- Improve Data Quality: Target stale and duplicate content, or surface permissions, sharing, and access-related properties by user or group account. Quickly access a list of files by each user for deeper analysis or notify the account owner to take action on specific items.
- Find Inactive or Unlicensed User Accounts: Identify users without recent activity or inactive licenses to streamline data cleansing and user account management.
- Manage Insider Risk: Understand which users are most responsible for inaccurately labeling their data or those with access or sharing rights to information they should not have.
- Give Data Owners More Control: Enable users to validate and approve or reject automated actions (such as archiving or deleting files) to improve data hygiene, through disposition workflows.
- Identify Super Users: View your data inventory and usage results by account to pinpoint your largest users by file count and size.
Use Cases for User-Based Data Discovery
Inactive User Account & Stale Data Reduction
Effectively manage inactive user accounts to minimize storage and archival costs. Gain insights into inactive users or users with a lot of stale and trivial data to take appropriate actions, such as archiving or deletion, to maintain data hygiene and reduce operational expenses.
Access Control Management & Auditing
Gain comprehensive insights into file ownership and access by user or group. DryvIQ’s reporting and auditing capabilities ensure that necessary permissions and data ownership information are readily available for compliance, security, and access control measures. Furthermore, the DryvIQ platform can automatically update permissions to meet organizational requirements. This feature is particularly beneficial for industries like healthcare or financial services, where stringent compliance is crucial.
Intelligent File Migration Preparation
Prepare for migrations more intelligently with user account-based insights. Identify your largest users and tailor your communication and migration strategies accordingly. For example, super-users with departmental and project files may require different migration approaches, such as moving content to SharePoint instead of OneDrive.
