Relativity (formerly kCura) is a data e-discovery solution supporting litigation, government inquires, internal investigations and data governance policies within a secure cloud platform, from the company of the same name headquartered in Chicago.
I have used a multitude of products over the last 15 years of eDiscovery practice work and have found that this is the most user-friendly platform for all aspects of the EDRM model and for presentation purposes. It has been a lifesaver and a timesaver from the backend to the frontend of discovery and trial presentation. The program does the work so much quicker and without third-party intervention. I don't ever want to use another eDiscovery program!
Relativity is well suited for all the eDiscovery workflows. It's excellent for document review, coding, active learning, content and structured analytics, searches, persistent highlights, imaging, and burning redactions into productions. The error rates with processing in Relativity are a little compared to other eDiscovery processing tools in the market. It is solely for document review purposes legal scenarios or otherwise, but it is not a complete solution for building customized hosting nor neither it is a replacement for conventional websites.
Can scale to support a review of a large number of documents and reviewers and/or large number of cases
Can be customized to support a variety of different workflows and integration with 3rd party tools and external processes and scripting of different fields
Very secure. Can be enabled to run 2 factor authentication
Very powerful tool, but does require a high level of expertise and head count to administer the product.
If hosting yourself, requires investment in servers and ideally is housed in a data center
Providers need to pay kCura a monthly user license fee for every user who has access to the tool. Providers can purchase blocks of users, but with a large amount of users on a case, it's cost that some external clients are not thrilled about
Relativity is a well established tool that continues to evolve and look for ways to improve. Particular focus on Australian workflows is very promising for us and appreciated. There is a lot of scope for improvement in the processing and PDF workflows but it is great to see Relativity being proactive in those areas
As an attorney at a small firm, I need an e-discovery program that (1) I can manage myself without outsourcing to a third-party e-discovery expert, and (2) won't end up bankrupting my firm or my clients with outrageous per-gigabyte hosting fees. Nextpoint delivers on those fronts, without sacrificing the functionality and features I see in other e-discovery software products.
Nextpoint's ability to allow users to customize the way they use the system is what sets it apart. You can use Nextpoint in a variety of ways and completely customize the way the system tracks information and data. The ability to set up different searches and data points being tracked is extremely helpful.
Its having very good scalability options. You can avoid in house purchase of the relativity infra with the use of relativity one. Very good analytics features its having.
Nextpoint allows our firm to take on and manage cases with massive document productions, when previously we may have not had the resources to handle such cases.
Nextpoint enables us to generate revenue from handling e-discovery in house while controlling costs at the same time, instead of outsourcing it to a far more expensive third-party e-discovery expert.
