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

"It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Relativity."
"The initial setup was relatively straightforward."
"The searching capability of the product is definitely very valuable to our organization."
"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."
"I like Relativity's blackout feature, as well as the Case Dynamics function."
"The ease of navigation from dock to dock, and that kind of usability, is quite helpful."
"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."
"Caplets are a very good technical feature."
"In my industry, it is important to use this solution because it can handle a large pipeline."
 

Cons

"I think there is a lot of room for improvement because we have encountered a lot of bugs especially on the development side."
"I haven't seen anything on AI merging with Relativity."
"I would definitely not recommended it unless you have someone who has had experience with it and knows how to work the program."
"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."
"There are a lot of bugs on the development side."
"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 platform's integration of advanced AI features could further enhance its capabilities."
"They require more built-in support for some third-party applications."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is extremely complicated."
"It's worth the money."
"Users are typically charged a fee per user account and a separate fee based on the amount of data processed and hosted."
