Efficient discovery workflows have supported fast reviews but ingestion of document families still needs work

Everlaw's best features include ease of ingestion, processing speed, processing metadata, metadata redactions, and seamless application of redactions on the native. The speed of processing makes the biggest difference in my day-to-day work because the faster we get data into a review system, the less time that we have down for projects. Everlaw has positively impacted my organization by offering an opportunity for an alternative to our current database management that we use for eDiscovery. It has a different aesthetic feel, and we use it primarily for shorter-lived cases.

Easy to categorize documents and offers transparent view of documents

I found Relativity very useful because it's easy to categorize documents. If you get more complex litigation, like around 500,000 or 1,000,000 documents, it's easier to categorize them in Relativity. So, it's a more powerful tool for reviewing documents. I haven't faced any problems using Relativity yet. I found it very useful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Customer support is phenomenal and is one of the most appealing factors with Everlaw."

"We use the tool specifically for unitization in many projects. It's very easy for reviewers to use. Everlaw is improving daily, introducing new features like analytics and AI. Analytics in Everlaw runs by default when we process anything. We used AI to train the system for review in a project with five million records."

"In Everlaw, you can add related items within a search to a search component, allowing you to build and expand your search incrementally. For example, you can start with an initial search, add related items, and then continue adding more related items to the entire search. Another thing about Everlaw is its speed. It loads quickly, whether it's images or documents."

"Caplets are a very good technical feature."

"There are a lot of ways to QC your work and save your searches, and we had really good case support from the Relativity team."

"The initial setup was relatively straightforward."

"The ease of navigation from dock to dock, and that kind of usability, is quite helpful."

"kCura Relativity is easy to use, and it is reliable."

"It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Relativity."

"I like Relativity's blackout feature, as well as the Case Dynamics function."

Cons

"Everlaw can be improved on ingestion by making the ingestion of family members more cohesive, as larger documents sometimes fall behind family members which may get processed earlier, causing some confusion for case teams."

"Everlaw could be less choosy about accepting control numbers for third-party loads. When uploading third-party loads, it currently needs two mandatory fields (like within date or end date or page count). I think the control number should be the only required field. Everlaw isn't used for Data Breach projects. For normal eDiscovery, we can use Everlaw, but most clients prefer Relativity."

"There are a lot of bugs on the development side."

"I haven't seen anything on AI merging with Relativity."

"They require more built-in support for some third-party applications."

"The platform's integration of advanced AI features could further enhance its capabilities."

"What I dislike about Relativity is that we have to go through the host in order to do productions and loads. It is not a do-it-yourself tool."

"I would definitely not recommended it unless you have someone who has had experience with it and knows how to work the program."

"The price per user could be improved. We'd like for it to be more affordable."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is higher than that of other tools. Other tools offer bundle rates, but Everlaw charges per GB, which is more expensive. It doesn't charge for users; it only charges for hosting."

"It's worth the money."

"They are maintaining the per gigabyte pricing, and it's based on tiers of how much data you host with them."

"Users are typically charged a fee per user account and a separate fee based on the amount of data processed and hosted."

"The pricing is extremely complicated."
