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.

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.

Cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is extremely complicated."
