Logikcull's pay-as-you-go GB pricing is month-to-month. All plans come with unlimited 24/7/365 support and unlimited users. Storage- and matter-based subscriptions with bulk discounts are available.
Again, specifically for Slack JSON parsing, I think Logikcull's handling of the data is the best. It handles Thread messages very nicely and things like "code snippets" display much like they do in Slack itself. I have not found a Slack JSON parser that is better.
I think Everlaw is very well suited for any project where you want to organize your documents, produce documents or review documents produced to you. It's "word processing" features are pretty awful and that makes the Storybuilder functionality less useful. The best workflow for me is as follows: On Screen 1 you have Everlaw browser open. You tag those documents you may use in your story, they show up on the right panel. Then, you open up your word processor on Screen 2 and get writing. If you need to refer to an exhibit in your word processed document, use the #idenitication number from Screen 1 and type it in your document. If you want to review the document, you click the "eye" icon in the right panel on Screen 1 and read it as you are doing your typing on Screen 2. When done with the document, you cut and paste it into the Everlaw Storybuilder "body". You may have to manually search for the #'s to have the documents tagged in your story - You need to have them tagged in the story body so that when you click on "exhibits" you can export all of the exhibits referenced if that is something you want to have done (for example, to upload for e-filing).
Logikcull is a fabulous tool for the firms that do not have a dedicated Litigation Support department. They offer a tool that is very simple and easy to use. You do not need to be highly tech-savvy to use it. And their support team is absolutely fabulous.
It ingests data robustly, allowing the user to set a variety of ingestion rules.
It provides an interface for attorney review that significantly reduces user training.
It has robust user features to enhance the review and tag function of an attorney review team.
There are too many wonderful export features to list, but suffice it to say very robust.
Support is at the platinum level with real-time chat interface with REAL tech types who can solve issues, without going through a script
The company obviously invests heavily in development and seems to always be on the industry edge of simply making things better, faster, more efficient, and cost-effective.
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.
I would like to have an easier way to identify the last email in a string that includes all the attachments in the string
Other areas I have contacted Logikcull about I have been pleasantly surprised to find out that either there had been an update that solved my issue or one was on the way.
The platform and user interface are very intuitive and easy to use. Built-in features obviously come from a team that knows the industry, and it is customizable for all the odd uses, and individual issues we have with each project. I’ve been able to manage things incredibly easily without the use of third-party vendors, and when I hit a snag, the support team is easy to contact and quick to resolve issues.
The Support Team is very responsive. They offer lots of convenient training sessions in either a group or individual setting. If you have a problem or can't figure out how to do something in Logikcull, they are easy to reach and will easily walk you through every step of the process.
I've used something called blade.acorn in a different mass tort case. I did not like it as much as Everlaw. Maybe it was because I used Everlaw first and was used to it. But Everlaw does have a great and organized platform that I think is better and is well-suited for mass tort cases' discovery process.
Again, specifically for Slack JSON parsing, I think Logikcull's handling of the data is the best. It handles Thread messages very nicely and things like "code snippets" display much like they do in Slack itself. I have not found a Slack JSON parser that is better.
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.
One of the issues we had with using Logikcull was the expense. It was difficult for our attorneys to pass along the hard copy expense of paying for the service based on the types of clients we have. Logikcull was very good at trying to help us with this challenge, but in the end, we found that our attorneys were hesitant to use the product because of the fear that there would be a high hard-cost expense that the client would not pay. This was one of the primary reasons we stopped using it. Our firm has the technical personnel and equipment to maintain an eDiscovery platform in-house, so the investment to bring in another product was, for our firm, a better solution for the long run.
As we were developing our litigation support department, Logikcull was the perfect product for us. It allowed us to provide for our attorneys a review platform when they had the cases that could not be managed without one but also gave us the simplicity we needed as we learned how to provide litigation support services to our legal teams.
