    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.

    This appliance is well suited for organizations that have a need to monitor, moderate, or log social networking site use or the use of any website. It is a very solid tool for any information security department to have at their disposal.

    • Discovery: It allows for easy discoveries by the compliance and cyber security departments.
    • Ethical walls: This keeps certain departments from talking to each other.
    • Very granular control. This is a big product meaning you can get very detailed with it.
    • Once it's configured and running, we hardly ever have any issues.

    Cons
    Relativity (formerly 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

    • Its configuration options were very large and required a good deal of time to learn all of the various settings.

    Usability
    Relativity (formerly kCura)
    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

    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.

    This was the only appliance of its kind that I have used. Other devices have different capabilities for web filtering such as the checkpoint firewalls, but none of them offered the overall solution that was deployed with this product at that time.
