Patronum

Onboarding and Offboarding users within Google Workspace can be time-consuming and costly. Patronum removes this hassle, by making it easy to manage the complete user life cycle of your Google Workspace users and fully automating all the administrator and user tasks to ensure an efficient, effective and secure process.

Patronum for Google Workspace has been created with seamless integration in mind. Each of your users will be automatically set up and configured within Google Workspace according to your company policy, with the correct email signature, Gmail settings, including labels, filters and other settings, Google Drive files and folders, Google contacts, Google calendars, and Google Groups automatically maintained when you move to Patronum. What’s more, Patronum even provides a user-friendly Google Contact sharing option enhanced with the introduction of a Google Chrome extension and Gmail add-ons.

What’s more, is that Patronum also helps secure and keep your Google Drive compliance by showing you which files are shared both internally and externally. Giving you control by allowing you to unshare files that have been shared with external organisations and users including gmail.com accounts.

Much more than just extending the capabilities of Google Admin, Patronum makes important user life cycle tasks intuitive and productive for both administrators and none administrators alike. Patronum ensures users are fully connected to one another, data is efficiently shared and an organization’s integrity is maintained.

Patronum means Guardian in Latin, and in 2017 there seemed to be a great opportunity for a Google backup and archive tool, as the choice of software in this space was restricted to general product vendors without a special interest in Google Workspace. So we set about building one. The aim was that Patronum was going to be the “Guardian” of Google Workspace. However, after only a year into development, a strong product from a competitor emerged. We realized our own product would have a broadly similar feature set and it would be tough to differentiate in the marketplace.

Our teams strive for excellence in product education videos, help and daily support to ensure that as soon as Patronum is adopted by an organization their administrators are quickly enabled and productive. We promote a culture of community, collaboration and engagement between our teams, partners and customers. Pricing is decided by a pricing committee consisting of staff, partners and clients, Similarly another user forum reviews feature requests and helps the company prioritise product development.
