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.
