Featured Reviews

Maria Greene - PeerSpot reviewer
A reliable solution with great searching capabilities and good tech support.
It depends on what you need. If you're a law firm and you have a lot of cases, then RelativityOne might be something to look into. If you're a small business and you're really focusing on small-level reviews, then there might be cheaper options for you. 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. In order to get the most out of your subscription, I would definitely recommend having someone who has had experience with it and knows how to work the program if you decide to make the investment. Alternatively, budget for some of the Relativity training classes. I would rate this solution as a ten out of ten.

Effectively reduces spam and malicious emails with reliable detection capabilities
It would be helpful to make it easier for end users to filter and see items in the quarantine within the Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance Platform. As an admin, I believe it would be sensible if end users could also see the quarantine folder in the Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance Platform so they can create their own rules. The reports are all predefined, and I cannot create custom reports, so I am not fully satisfied with their visibility. I would appreciate the ability to generate my own reports.

Cons

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

"They require more built-in support for some third-party applications."
"There are a lot of bugs on the development side."
"I would definitely not recommended it unless you have someone who has had experience with it and knows how to work the program."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Users are typically charged a fee per user account and a separate fee based on the amount of data processed and hosted."
"They are maintaining the per gigabyte pricing, and it's based on tiers of how much data you host with them."
"It's worth the money."
"The pricing is extremely complicated."
