Pros

  • For e-discovery software, Nextpoint is extremely user-friendly compared to some others on the marketplace.
  • For document review, Nextpoint's user interface is very intuitive and simple.
  • Nextpoint allows small firms to manage complicated loadfile document productions, things that would typically need to be outsourced to third-party e-discovery companies.

Cons

  • Tagging email families and related documents can take a bit longer than other e-discovery platforms.

Return on Investment

  • 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.

Verified User
Employee in Legal (1001-5000 employees employees)

Pros

  • Extremely customizable.
  • OCR text recognition and search functions are extremely impressive.
  • Very user friendly. It is extremely easy to train others on how to review documents in the system and how to use the system to make the review process easier.

Cons

  • There are certain system-level things that cannot be changed. They fit nicely into most document productions but are occasionally not useful.
  • Subfolders within review databases would be beneficial. At times, organization can become a bit cumbersome because there is no way to use subfolders within a folder in a database.
  • Adding the ability to generate reports into systems other than Excel would be a plus. A Microsoft Word based report would be great.

Most Important Features

  • Customization
  • Ease of use
  • Competitive and unique pricing structure

Return on Investment

  • Positive overall. We have been able to maintain client relationships and try to build new ones based on what Nextpoint offers.
  • Pricing method makes it more profitable and cost-effective to use NextPoint on several projects simultaneously.

Pros

  • Importing data is a breeze with Nextpoint.
  • Customer support is above and beyond any in the industry.
  • From collection to culling, to review, processing and production - this is by far the best program.
  • The Nextpoint team is constantly improving upon its great products and keeps users powered up and educated, using customer feedback.

  • Can't think of anything - they are always improving their product to meet the customers' needs.

Most Important Features

  • Importing in-house
  • Production in-house
  • Review and tagging capabilities
  • Ability to prepare presentations directly from database sources - seamless.

Return on Investment

  • This program pays for itself in time and money saved versus traditional eDiscovery platforms.
  • For less than $1,000 a month, all databases for all cases can be processed and produced for us with this program. It cuts out the middle man and the hidden expenses, costing the firm and the client far less than other eDiscovery programs.
