Who Buys & Uses DISCO Ediscovery

DISCO Ediscovery is the best!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use DISCO Ediscovery in discovery for large class action cases and MDL's (multidistrict litigation). Only my team uses it. We use it to review and share documents in e-discovery.

Pros

  • Viewing documents
  • Tagging documents
  • Gathering metadata

Cons

  • Organization of documents
  • Ability to add comments

Alternatives Considered

Relativity and Apollo ILS (Integrated Library System)

Good for basic reviewing, could be improved by developing additional functions for specific professions.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Across the whole organisation.
Used to conduct a first line disclosure review of disclosure given in litigated proceedings. It solves the problem of managing a large amount of documents and keeping track of the review. It also helps collaboration with others.

Pros

  • Tagging docs
  • De-duplication
  • Sending hot docs to colleagues straight from the platform

Cons

  • Downloading docs
  • Ease of use (I find Relativity more intuitive- sorry!)
  • Even better de-duplication software

DISCO Ediscovery? Where have you been all my life?!!! [Well, for my last 37 years as a complex tort and trial paralegal]

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We engaged DISCO Ediscovery in a complex tort case where we represent 239 Plaintiffs in 5 related actions and numerous corporate defendants and insurance companies in order to more efficiently manage and locate documents vs. manually looking for them on our servers or within a document depository. It has also been useful for our 10 Experts who have direct access to their Review Stage, and I expect it will make preparing deposition exhibits much faster. I am able to use DISCO Ediscovery document reports to create document production indicia and will do the same for our trial exhibit lists. With a one-hour training, our Experts have become proficient in their document reviews, and one expert [who we use very frequently] specifically "hopes" that we continue to use DISCO Ediscovery firm-wide because he is very pleased with its ease of use. I hope my firm will employ DISCO Ediscovery firm-wide in our future cases as well because they are all voluminous.

Pros

  • Search and locate
  • Document organization
  • Ease of use
  • Review Stages are used by our Experts with direct access, which eliminates the need to create folders on our servers, download to flash drives, or having to upload documents and create links in the cloud

Cons

  • I wish there were a more efficient way to identify and tag duplicates. Other than that, DISCO Ediscovery is fantastic!
