DISCO Ediscovery vs. Everlaw

It's user-friendly and very intuitive. It has many capabilities that are out of the box, and it does not need to do any workaround. Also, there are many ways to do the same thing which is great when we are in a rush and how a user learns. Attorneys are loving the Case Builder function. I am happy that we can streamline processes and get to do more of what we love to do versus being bogged down by tedious steps.

Everlaw is great for organizing large quantities of documents and helping our entire team and other teams across the nation communicate and attack the huge document productions in an organized and efficient manner. It allows us to break apart the huge document productions and hit them piece by piece and apply tags and keywords to the documents.

• Need an easier way to track when a document did not receive coding review for all issues (i.e., when issues where added later on in the coding process--need to be alerted to go back and capture the additional issues to be coded).

• Not everything is as I would like it to be. For example, while it is easy to copy work product (highlights, issue tags, comments) from one project to another, for some reason they don't allow you to copy "storybuilder" objects. It would be nice if they allowed this. What this means is if you have the same set of documents in two projects, you can carry over the issue tags, highlighting, etc., if you want. But, if you created a deposition outline in "Storybuilder" in Project A, you can't copy that deposition (with exhibits) over to Project B.
• The Storybuilder "outline" function is not easy to use and does not export well to word. That said, once you get the hang of it, it really works beautifully for organizing exhibits.

There were some customer service issues in closing a project, but generally the service has been helpful to our needs.

I've been able to go from never using this type of software before, to confidently using it on an everyday basis, and the learning curve was not steep at all.

I've never had a problem with the support team getting back to me re my questions or assisting me in a project.

DISCO provides good resources in addition to the walkthroughs.

DISCO Ediscovery outperforms all the competitors we reviewed on ease of adoption, usability, UI design, support, functions, features, and feature updates. While the price was a bit higher, DISCO Ediscovery's value was far greater than that offered by the other products. DISCO Ediscovery's functionality and accessibility was the best suited to our practice and the size of our firm and even the less tech savvy employees can learn how to use the application with some basic training.

When I worked at a large law firm and used Relativity, I found that it was rather difficult to use. It absolutely required an IT staff to run and it was great to be able to e-mail litigation support to help accomplish what needed accomplishing. But, Relativity is really a terrible platform when compared to Everlaw. At least from the user's perspective. I don't remember being able to manage the documents nearly so easily or intuitively as I can with Everlaw. I love being able to create binders, stories, easily conduct searches, eliminate duplicates, et cetera.

• DISCO has saved our clients tons of money in hosting fees, as well as hourly fees in time spent reviewing documents.
• With DISCO's search capabilities, a review that could take weeks or months by many can be performed in days or weeks by fewer personnel.
• With DISCO, actions that previously had to be contracted out to a vendor can now be handled in-house at a much cheaper cost.

• Unfortunately, I do not have any hard numbers to share. The platform costs what it costs and you either eat that cost or pass it on to the client. The platform certainly makes you a more efficient attorney and saves a lot of time, so even if the monthly fee is kind of high, the client gets a lot of value out of it.
