Document review has become faster and more accurate while protecting sensitive information
Everlaw is very helpful with the different types of capabilities it offers, including batching, search terms, coding documents, and setting up the coding panel. One of the best features that Everlaw offers is the searching capability and search results, being able to search for documents. What makes the searching feature stand out for me is its accuracy. Everlaw has positively impacted my organization by making it much easier to process mass productions by batching so that reviewers can get in and review documents. I can use the MD5 hash values to search for documents that might be similar and ensure that accuracy and consistency are maintained across the board. Everlaw has saved the team time and reduced errors because when I was using Everlaw, we did not always have the budget to pay for the best reviewers, and some of them did not prioritize accuracy. Everlaw identifies a lot of the mistakes that the attorneys are making so that we can correct them before they get to the client.

Centralized archiving has transformed how we manage compliance, audits, and investigations
Overall Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance Platform is a strong platform for compliance and information governance, but there are a few areas where it could improve in the future. One improvement area is the user experience and interface consistency across different modules. Some workflows can feel complex, especially for a new user or the team managing multiple compliance functions simultaneously. Community feedback has also highlighted that certain administrative interfaces and navigation flows could be more modern and streamlined. I also think there is room for improvement in support responsiveness and operational simplicity for complex deployments. Some users in the community have mentioned challenges around the ticket response time and troubleshooting efficiency for advanced configurations that needs to be improved. From a product perspective, a continued investment in AI-driven detection, the reduction of false positives, and easier policy tuning would make the platform even more effective at scale. Proofpoint already provides strong automation and machine learning capabilities, but a highly regulated environment still requires significant tuning and oversight to optimize the workflow. One additional improvement for Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance Platform would be making policy configurations and workflow management more intuitive, especially for organizations with complex compliance structures and multiple regulatory requirements. I also think more customizable dashboards and reporting capabilities would help teams gain faster operational insight and improve visibility into the compliance trends, investigations, and reliable workload.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In my opinion, the best features Everlaw offers include its central database and the coding technology to organize the data."
"We save time and are probably able to process data up to 70% faster than our previous methods, thanks to the robust tools and actually reviewing documents and collaborating."
"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."
"Everlaw has positively impacted my organization by allowing for quicker and more efficient discovery productions, and it has also decreased the errors in discovery."
"Everlaw is something I always recommend to people who have large-scale projects but may have a client who is not willing to pay as much as it would be if they were to use Relativity."
"The best features Everlaw offers include the ability to label things, whether there is a statutory privilege or privacy-related privilege."
"Overall, Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance Platform is a very strong and reliable platform for compliance, archiving, supervision, and information governance."
"Our experience with the platform has been positive as it has maintained consistent control over spam and malware threats."
 

Cons

"The only thing I believe could be improved is that the pricing should be disclosed more clearly."
"I think Everlaw can be improved because there is a lot of training that could use some work."
"I have used it to identify PII and privilege, and I still see errors with whether or not it is accurately identifying PII."
"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."
"It is expensive."
"Some workflows can feel complex, especially for a new user or the team managing multiple compliance functions simultaneously."
"The Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance Platform does not provide features that help reduce manual efforts, so additional human resources are still required to manage security."
 

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."
