Featured Reviews

SimardeepSingh - PeerSpot reviewer
An user-friendly solution that provides fast and accurate processing capabilities
The product is very user-friendly. When new employees join, they find Everlaw the easiest to learn among our different eDiscovery tools, such as Relativity, Canopy, and Nuix. It's simple to use, even for third-party uploads. Their support team is very good and resolves issues quickly. Everlaw is fast and accurate in processing. Producing documents is easy - we create and use a protocol for future productions. Processing errors in Everlaw can't be fixed, which is efficient. We use the tool specifically for unitization in many projects. It's very easy for reviewers to use. Everlaw is improving daily, introducing new features like analytics and AI. Analytics in Everlaw runs by default when we process anything. We used AI to train the system for review in a project with five million records. I think Everlaw's predictive coding tools are good. It's an AI feature that provides responsive documents. We train the model with 50 responsive or 50 non-responsive documents, and it uses that to pull out responsive documents and exclude non-responsive ones for reviewers. This is a great feature of the tool.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We rely heavily on the search term report, which shows how documents are distributed across selected keywords. This helps us determine if a keyword produces too many results, indicating it might be too broad."
"We use the tool specifically for unitization in many projects. It's very easy for reviewers to use. Everlaw is improving daily, introducing new features like analytics and AI. Analytics in Everlaw runs by default when we process anything. We used AI to train the system for review in a project with five million records."
"In Everlaw, you can add related items within a search to a search component, allowing you to build and expand your search incrementally. For example, you can start with an initial search, add related items, and then continue adding more related items to the entire search. Another thing about Everlaw is its speed. It loads quickly, whether it's images or documents."
"Caplets are a very good technical feature."
"The initial setup was relatively straightforward."
"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."
"kCura Relativity is easy to use, and it is reliable."
"The ease of navigation from dock to dock, and that kind of usability, is quite helpful."
"I like Relativity's blackout feature, as well as the Case Dynamics function."
"It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Relativity."
 

Cons

"Everlaw could be less choosy about accepting control numbers for third-party loads. When uploading third-party loads, it currently needs two mandatory fields (like within date or end date or page count). I think the control number should be the only required field. Everlaw isn't used for Data Breach projects. For normal eDiscovery, we can use Everlaw, but most clients prefer Relativity."
"The support team is open to suggestions. They regularly release updates, often monthly, which include new features and improvements."
"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."
"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 price per user could be improved. We'd like for it to be more affordable."
"I haven't seen anything on AI merging with Relativity."
"They require more built-in support for some third-party applications."
"The platform's integration of advanced AI features could further enhance its capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is higher than that of other tools. Other tools offer bundle rates, but Everlaw charges per GB, which is more expensive. It doesn't charge for users; it only charges for hosting."
"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."
"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."
