Chose DISCO Ediscovery
I have used other "legacy" document review platforms such as Relativity and Concordance, and there is simply no comparison between them and DISCO. DISCO is faster, leaner, more efficient, more powerful, more flexible, and more user-friendly, by miles and miles. My firm chooses …
DISCO is cheaper, faster, and easier to use than the competitors. Relativity is expensive, slow, and take a long time to process documents for production. Nextpoint, while speedy, lacks the ease of use and customer service that DISCO provides. And Concordance is simply …
Speed is better. DISCO is more user-friendly. Generally, I prefer DISCO in terms of efficiency, and that's dramatically helpful in investigations. The one advantage Relativity has is that the major providers often use it. Our clients are comfortable with that software - so …
DISCO is more nimble and user-friendly than any of the competitor software I have used in the past. DISCO has its limitations with large projects, for which I still prefer Relativity, but for small to medium projects, DISCO cannot be beaten right now.
I have used a few others as well. DISCO is better than all of them. Full stop. Maybe if you have a big law case, with dozens of review teams, and a client willing to pay thousands to organize the data, then maybe you could get more use out of a Relativity type platform. But …
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.
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
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.
I believe Relativity had greater functionality for more advanced users, but it's more complicated nature caused more mistakes among users who lacked experience.
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.
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
DISCO is more user friendly, easier to search, and provides superior methods of tagging and viewing documents (and their attachments). Searching documents for specific terms sound simple, and DISCO in fact makes it simple compared to its competitors. But Disco is ultimately …
DISCO hands down surpasses the other two discovery platforms that I have worked with. Speed, functionality, and technical support are key factors in that. Document review becomes manageable even to a person new to electronic document review platforms.
Additional platforms reviewed are: Xera, Axcelerate, Summation and Concordance.
Honestly, DISCO blows them out of the water when it comes to speed and interface. We selected DISCO because of its speed, ease of use and transparent cost (no user fees and no data expansion costs). …
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.
In cases involving massive datasets (I.e. regulatory investigations, cross-border litigation), Relativity's powerful search, deduplication, and technology-assisted review features enable fast, accurate identification of relevant documents. For example, we used it in a front-running investigation involving a large asset management firm, where Relativity streamlined data review across multiple custodians. There are multiple use case available.
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
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
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
I have used proprietary in-house software at a litigation management firm. The in-house software allowed for documents to be processed and coded in order for the end-user to run a report that met the end-users parameters. DISCO allows for documents to be ingested, and for those ingested documents to be divided into review stages. The reports that DISCO allows the end-user to run are far superior to end-user reports of other in-house systems
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.
