Considered Both Products
DISCO Ediscovery
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
DISCO kills relativity in my mind. the speed, ease of use, modern and user-friendly interface, etc., etc. hands down. do not use relativity if you can use disco. i haven't used concordance in ages because it was terrible than so I can only assume it's still terrible.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
I have had minimal interaction with Relativity.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
I love DISCO university and all of the resources I can easily navigate to answer questions immediately or solve problems I encounter as I learn to use the program.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
I found DISCO to be easier to use than ViewPoint and Relativity. However, my use of this platform was strictly reviewing and coding. I didn't do any productions or upload documents, so I cannot attest to the functionality of DISCO as compared to the other two.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
DISCO Ediscovery is easier to learn, more intuitive to use, and seems to give more consistent results. The interface is quite easy to use and gives a lot of information that aids in document review. The threading and family functions are extremely helpful
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
DISCO is affordable and easy to use for boutique firms.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
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 …
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
I believe Relativity had greater functionality for more advanced users, but it's more complicated nature caused more mistakes among users who lacked experience.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
Relativity. I found the interface of Relativity more intuitive. However, it is easier to manipulate documents on DISCO. Both could be improved by allowing you to mass download documents more easily.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
See other previous answers. Relativity is miles better but obviously more expensive
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
I much prefer DISCO over Everlaw and Relativity
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
We've used Relativity, Xera, and a few others I'm forgetting. I strongly dislike Relativity when I have to use it now that I've been using DISCO Ediscovery.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
This is what I told the sales rep for Relativity and Lumix: "DISCO Ediscovery is much more user-friendly, faster, accurate, and… well, just everything else pales in comparison, is STILL an understatement – it was a collective decision and unanimous. We will stay with DISCO …
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
DISCO is more cost effective, easier to use and outperforms the other platforms. DISCO makes me look good. :)
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
I used Relativity a long time ago and wasn't a fan. It was at the time very similar to Disco but you didn't have as much control and the interface wasn't as user-friendly.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
For the user, DISCO was more intuitive to use and navigate. It also seemed to load documents faster than some other platforms. However, it felt like the search and filtering capabilities were less advanced.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
DISCO Ediscovery leaves them all in the dust. We selected DISCO Ediscovery for a lot of reasons, ease of use being the primary one.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
Compared to the other document archive platforms our department has used in the past, DISCO Ediscovery provides greater search accuracy and organizational capabilities. The subscription price is slightly higher than the other competitors but the value DISCO Ediscovery …

I have not yet used any other products by DISCO, outside of DISCO Ediscovery.

Relativity
Chose Relativity
It has the ability to provide all discovery features under one roof. It is adept for working in the data discovery domain with efficiency. Globally renowned software with features that are not available in many tools. Automation is a plus and Active learning in relativity is …
Chose Relativity
We continue to use NUIX as our processing tool but are testing and working with Relativity on the processing workflows which will hopefully in time, ensure that we use Relativity from end to end rather than from document review onwards only. NUIX is ahead of Relativity in terms …
Chose Relativity
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.
Chose Relativity
It’s pretty similar. They are both good but Relativity has been really great with organization and tagging. My team can get documents downloaded and sent quickly. I can access from anywhere and good support staff. Epiq has similar features but not as easy to use. Download time …
Chose Relativity
Very good compared to Nuix Discover It cannot compare to Canopy given Canopy is more interface and features are more catered to Cyber Breach PII review
Chose Relativity
Relativity contains all the features together in a single platform. And most of all other than Brainspace none of the other tools have document review capability as good as Relativity has.
Chose Relativity
Over the years I've evaluated multiple tools and platforms. All the competing tools are getting better, but kCura has really embraced incorporating customer and user feedback into improving their tool. For litigation, it's really the "gold standard" that other tools are …

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

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.

Cons
  • 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).

  • 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

Usability
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.

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

Alternatives Considered
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.
