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.

A good document discovery tool, with a variety of helpful functionality but at a very high price point
We mainly use this solution in litigation to gather, download and host case documents from our client's systems. We are then able to use the search tools to extract the information we need from the database We have found the automatic translation feature of this product to be a game changer…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like Relativity's blackout feature, as well as the Case Dynamics function."
"The initial setup was relatively straightforward."
"kCura Relativity is easy to use, and it is reliable."
"The solution has great searching capabilities, and it's very reliable."
"The ease of navigation from dock to dock, and that kind of usability, is quite helpful."
"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."
"Unquestionably, kCura Relativity is a scalable solution."
"Caplets are a very good technical feature."
"We have found the automatic translation feature of this product to be a game changer because we work with a lot of clients from China."
 

Cons

"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."
"You are charged per user. It can get pretty expensive if you have a lot of users in your organization."
"The price per user could be improved. We'd like for it to be more affordable."
"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 would definitely not recommended it unless you have someone who has had experience with it and knows how to work the program."
"I haven't seen anything on AI merging with Relativity."
"They require more built-in support for some third-party applications."
"We would like to see some improvement in the price for documents to be hosted via this solution."
 

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."
"The pricing is extremely complicated."
"It's worth the money."
"They are maintaining the per gigabyte pricing, and it's based on tiers of how much data you host with them."
"This solution has a fairly high price-point, which may not make it suitable for all organizations. Using this product incurs both high fixed costs, and marginal costs for each additional case being added."
