everteam.rrs vs Rational Governance

everteam.rrs helps organizations centralize retention policies and manage document lifecycles across the organization. It links rules to legislative, regulatory, or normative references, and lets rules combine retention periods, trigger events, and final disposition with confidentiality, environmental, or security requirements. Users can delegate policy updates, validate change requests before publication, and retain a history of changes. Policies can also be published for employees. The retention repository can be imported or exported in XLS format, or described through a web interface; search and configurable properties are intended to support compatibility with existing repositories. REST APIs connect third-party systems, and Everteam IG Suite can apply lifecycle rules to sources such as Office 365, shared drives, messaging systems, and SAP. Deployment options are SaaS, private cloud, or on-premises, with API, self-hosted, and web platforms listed. Pricing is on request, and prospective customers are directed to contact Everteam. The company says it was founded in 1990 and joined the Kyocera Document Solutions group in 2020.

Rational Governance is an enterprise platform for managing unstructured data where it already resides. It combines file analysis, records management, compliance, privacy, security, and discovery response with initial scans and full ingestion into a unified text and metadata index. Search draws on machine-learning output, regular expressions, text operators, metadata recognition, statistical sampling, and visualizations; the platform also includes supervised classification and unsupervised clustering. Administrators can automate preservation, collection, retention, deletion, movement, copying, monitoring, and alerts. Permissions govern access, and actions and system health checks can be audited and reported. Rational Governance runs behind a company firewall or on Google Cloud Platform, AWS, or Microsoft Azure, with encryption in transit and at rest, SAML 2.0, OAuth, and jurisdictional storage. It integrates with Rational Review and exports standard load-file formats. Pricing is on request; listed pricing approaches include data-volume, user, fixed-fee, and project-based.
