Considered Both Products
DISCO Ediscovery
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 …
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
I used Relativity for many years and found that the search functions on DISCO are far superior.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
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 …
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
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 …
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
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.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
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 …
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
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.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
See other previous answers. Relativity is miles better but obviously more expensive
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
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 is more cost effective, easier to use and outperforms the other platforms. DISCO makes me look good. :)
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
Feel like more or less the same. It all boils down to learning curve and ease of familiarity.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
DISCO is a better online technology assisted document management and review system.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
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 …
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
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.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
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). …
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
DISCO is obviously faster and the UI of DISCO is better in comparison with other. The ease of coding documents is unmatched.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
DISCO has a much better interface, much better searchability at the reviewer level. I just find the experience to be much better. Less eye fatigue.

DISCO
DISCO is very well suited to document review and file management when the case is known to be large and potentially last for a long period of time. It is also useful when the team on the case is fairly large, as it allows for effective and easy work distribution.

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.

kCura
  • 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

Alternatives Considered
DISCO
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

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 the absolute example of its class.
