Digital WarRoom vs. Everlaw

Digital WarRoom is especially appropriate for smaller document reviews. The ease of uploading, imagining and review of documents really lends itself to email review.

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.

• It would be nice to be able to export documents prior to endorsing, for ease of attorney or client review
• It would also be nice to export documents with pending redactions for attorney review prior to production. Oftentimes, we need to send suggested redactions to clients who aren't users of the database.

• 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.

Digital WarRoom is a great resource for small litigation matters and is also a good value when compared to other products in that respect. It saves our clients money on those smaller matters.

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.

• 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.
