Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"kCura Relativity is easy to use, and it is reliable.""Caplets are a very good technical feature.""The ease of navigation from dock to dock, and that kind of usability, is quite helpful.""I like Relativity's blackout feature, as well as the Case Dynamics function.""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 machine learning wasn't half bad. I really like that part. I thought it was novel. It pretty much automated it, once you trained the model.""The tool has been beneficial. Some of our previous users left the organization without sharing the information they had at a personal level. This information was related to the organization, and they didn't disclose it. Thanks to the product, it's easy for me to search and find out what communication a specific user has done, whether it's from SharePoint or any other platform. With Microsoft Purview eDiscovery, we can easily retrieve and restore this data.""I think eDiscovery Premium has made dealing with data from Teams much more accessible than any other platform."

Cons
"I would definitely not recommended it unless you have someone who has had experience with it and knows how to work the program.""They require more built-in support for some third-party applications.""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.""The price per user could be improved. We'd like for it to be more affordable.""There are a lot of bugs on the development side."

More kCura Relativity Cons →

"Microsoft Purview eDiscovery should be cheaper.""I see two significant challenges with many of my clients. One is that there are some functionality gaps compared to specialized tools in the legal industry, like a legal hold tool or a document review tool. They have features that Purview eDiscovery lacks. Those gaps create a situation where I almost have to do things twice. I need to collect all my data in eDiscovery and ship it to another platform to complete the review.""Purview eDiscovery works, but it's not entirely perfect. There were times when search results would get hung up or error codes would be presented and we'd have to contact Microsoft to get that sorted out."
