Frequently asked questions
What is Global Relay's pricing model?
Global Relay does not publish pricing. Its website directs buyers to contact sales for demos and purchase information. Pricing is quote-based, typically as an annual subscription influenced by user count, data volume, and modules such as archive, surveillance, and connectors.
How long does implementation take?
Global Relay does not state a standard implementation timeline. Its platform involves data migration, connector configuration, and compliance workflow setup, so buyers should plan for a multi-month onboarding, especially for large archives and regulated environments.
Which compliance certifications does Global Relay hold?
The provided vendor pages do not list specific certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HIPAA. The company has a security strategy page and a customer trust contact, but no certification claims appear on the pages reviewed in this analysis.
Does Global Relay use AI, and can customers supply their own models?
Global Relay describes AI and machine learning for communications surveillance, sentiment analysis, language detection, and regulatory policy models, built and trained in its AI Lab. The reviewed pages do not state whether customers can bring their own model keys or how AI is billed.
What support channels are available?
