Best in Class for Legal Document Review
Reviewed on 2018/11/13
This is the gold standard for document review. Nothing else comes close.
Pros
This is, in general, a fast program. When a search is well-designed then you'll be able to move through a batch of documents in almost no time flat.
Also, it's browser and "cloud" based - you don't need any local installations.
Cons
Browser and cloud based is a double edged sword. You need a constant Internet connection to work with this so there's no security "air gap" you can put in place.
Also, it is liable to crash your browser on particularly long and large documents.

Works well for a case with many thousands of documents
Reviewed on 2018/02/16
Pros
The keyword search feature works well. I was able to fairly quickly locate specific documents in the database without having a lot of false positives, and without missing anything important.
Cons
It's a little slow when processing a large batch of documents. I also found the user interface to be a bit hard to use.

The Relativity software provides best results when it works smoothly
Reviewed on 2020/04/05
Overall the software is amazing and it often is used by legal firms and accounting entities. You will not go wrong with Relativity - its a decent price for the best results. Highly recommended
Pros
I truly enjoyed the software's capacity to learn from a subset of documents and administer a wide range of criteria to a database. The program, when it works smoothly, and it often does, will allow for the review of thousands, even millions of documents, with little effort and make your review effortless.
Cons
When the system is down, and it rarely is, you are stuck waiting for the technical glitch to be worked out. Like I said, it doesn't happen all that often but when it does you might have some downtime.

This is great for large scale production especially when you have a team working on document review.
Pros
This software has a lot of capabilities and is very intricate. You can set numerous parameters and there are a TON of features.
Cons
I didn't find this software to be extremely user friendly. Less importantly, the aesthetics were great either. I found it kind of hard to read.

This program, if customized appropriately by the vendor, is very powerful.
Reviewed on 2018/06/06
Great product for sure - needs a good vendor.
Pros
It has a robust searching and organization capability. Depending upon the vendor who is supporting this program, it can be incredibly helpful in litigation and due diligence projects.
Cons
It requires substantial interaction with a vendor to appropriately set this up. The cost is also a consideration and can be expensive if used on small or one-off projects.

Pros
I like using the keyword search feature and I believe the layout of the software is visually appealing.
Cons
A lot of times we receive very large documents, so the software itself takes a while to load. As well, it sometimes is a bit difficult to search within the document, as we have asked for assistance from a tech expert to help out.

Relativity - Platform for EDiscovery and More
Reviewed on 2018/11/23
Ediscovery is made simpler with Relativity. The processing of data into Relativity can be done through either Relativity's software or other processing engines. This is an excellent tool to organize case files, legal research, and paper discovery.
Pros
The processing and review functions are superb and can be customized to any type of matter or workflow. THere are a variety of built in tools that allow data to be viewed at the macro or micro level, depending on your needs. With as little as 20 minutes of training any lawyer or paralegal can easily learn how the system works, apply substantive coding and redactions.
Cons
Sometimes the features are hard to configure without Admin help, but once you get the hang of it, the platform is scalable.

Industry standard for document review software for good reason.
Reviewed on 2017/06/16
It's a solid and simple way to do ediscovery and other document reviews.
Pros
It's a generally stable review environment with a simple interface and yet a lot of functionality. The software seems to dominate the market as far as I've been exposed because of its ease of use. But it's also easy to learn initially. And as one progresses with more complex reviewing, quality control, and batching needs, the software can keep up while still providing the simple interface.
Cons
When the software is buggy it can be a real slog however. This has rarely been an issue in my experience but it has happened. And when it has happened the crashing was seemingly across the platform for users in multiple locations. I'd say that it's unlikely that it was a lack of adequate hardware supporting it because this was at a major corporation that hosts reviews frequently and in a very large scale.

Biggest Player in the Game, with good Reason!
Reviewed on 2019/12/09
This is good stuff, and the search options are incredibly powerful and easy to use. You can easily batch documents for review, or use saved searches to do the same.
Searching, sorting, batching - you name it, it does it well.
Sadly, the UI leaves a lot to be desired as its pretty clunky to review with.
Pros
This software is the big daddy for document review for years. It is compatible with just about any document type you will throw at it.
Additionally, the ability to quickly move and change document coding tags is fantastic.
The search engine on it is second to none, and your key terms are highlighted within the document.
Additionally, you can break down a document from native format to plain text, which can help you ID the terms you're looking for
Cons
This is clunky software that shows its age. The UI for review is slow and can be difficult to work with, and there aren't a lot of great options for batch processing.
Also, the software times out on sessions so if you get yourself distracted by an important task you may find your session timed out, losing your place in the document queue.

Relativity - Great ESI Review Platform
Reviewed on 2019/09/24
Overall, my experience with Relativity has been positive and productive.
Pros
Relativity offers intuitive, easy-to-understand features that permit the quick review and analysis of electronically-stored information ("ESI") when set up by a reputable e-discovery vendor.
Cons
There is a significant learning curve to master if one really wants to unlock all of the power of Relativity, and the server response can sometimes be slow.
