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.

Straightforward installation, good support, and suitable for large pipelines
My past experience with the Nuix eDiscovery platform showed it was clunky when reviewing individual files and viewing folder structures. I wondered why we had to process in Nuix eDiscovery and then transfer to another review platform, this was a waste of time. I wish Nuix eDiscovery would have a comprehensive review platform in-house. I heard they have improved in this area, but our firm hasn't invested in it. Integrating the processing and review would make for a fantastic solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature from my perspective are the Kepler; it's a component that is more technical and directly related to the development companies that will be using it, allowing you to create custom APIs and gather most of the information that is not available in the standard API that they offer."
"The initial setup was relatively straightforward."
"It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Relativity."
"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."

Cons

"I think RelativityOne, because it is so powerful, can be very difficult to use and there's a lot that can go wrong if you don't know how to use it."
"I haven't seen anything on AI merging with Relativity."
"What I dislike about Relativity is that we have to go through the host in order to do productions and loads."
"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."

"You are charged per user. It can get pretty expensive if you have a lot of users in your organization."
