By a specific team on a specific legal matter to conduct a responsiveness/privilege review.
  • User-friendly
  • Good resources and tips available online
  • quick learning curve
  • Simply does not have many features/search options that other e-discovery databases do.
  • Being forced to click through each family attachment one-by-one when reviewing and marking documents through review stages, rather than being able to mass-mark a document and its family and then immediately move to the next parent document (and not click through the voluminous attachments to each parent email) is, in my experience, incredibly detrimental to productivity and efficiency. I simply can't believe DISCO Ediscovery is unable to develop a workaround for this.
  • In my opinion, the results page when reviewing the entire document universe or a large subset of documents is very unhelpful, because the column headings don't provide any meaningful information that would allow you to discern the nature of the document without actually clicking on it.
It is good for simple document reviews, but the review stages need some work in that they should allow the reviewers to mark an entire family for responsiveness based on the parent email without having to then click through each attachment to the parent email and mark it "reviewed." It is not good for digging through large sets of documents and actually trying to find certain documents, as the search results page is useless in providing pertinent information about the document, which forces you to have to open the document to get an idea of what it is.

We engaged DISCO Ediscovery in a complex tort case where we represent 239 Plaintiffs in 5 related actions and numerous corporate defendants and insurance companies in order to more efficiently manage and locate documents vs. manually looking for them on our servers or within a document depository. It has also been useful for our 10 Experts who have direct access to their Review Stage, and I expect it will make preparing deposition exhibits much faster. I am able to use DISCO Ediscovery document reports to create document production indicia and will do the same for our trial exhibit lists. With a one-hour training, our Experts have become proficient in their document reviews, and one expert [who we use very frequently] specifically "hopes" that we continue to use DISCO Ediscovery firm-wide because he is very pleased with its ease of use. I hope my firm will employ DISCO Ediscovery firm-wide in our future cases as well because they are all voluminous.
  • Search and locate
  • Document organization
  • Ease of use
  • 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
  • I wish there were a more efficient way to identify and tag duplicates. Other than that, DISCO Ediscovery is fantastic!
DISCO Ediscovery is the most powerful tool I've come across in my 37 years as a complex tort trial paralegal. I don't see any scenario where it would be less appropriate. I think even in non-legal areas, DISCO Ediscovery could be effectively employed to manage any dataset – for instance, I bet it could be super useful for managing medical records, and review stages could be created per patient.

We manage documents for a number of our cases using DISCO. We do document reviews and a small number of document productions from disco. Primarily use it for review and tagging of documents shared across the team.
  • Document tagging and coding
  • Fast document previews
  • Searching and sorting
  • Machine learning for searches and document coding
  • Predictive coding is generally worthless
  • Removing or sorting out duplicates
It’s one of the best if not the best ediscovery database platforms.

Used for plaintiffs firm for small productions and to review very large 1M+ productions.
  • Search
  • Organizes Ingest
  • Ability to share search threads via URL
  • Simplifying basic searches -- like for bates number
  • Data visualizers
  • Easier near dupe functionality
Great for small productions, seems harder for large productions, harder for priv log or exhibit list functionalities

DISCO provides a closed-universe database for the plaintiff's and defendant's documents. The database allows attorney's to use search parameters to research case-specific issues. Further DISCO allows attorneys to set up review stages for teams to review both plaintiff and defendant's documents. DISCO allows the review manager to run reports to view the tagged items in the review, and further, the "All meta-data" report allows the review manager to view any comments the reviewers added to the documents.
  • Ability to run reports.
  • Managing review stages.
  • Research.
  • Ability to choose fields from All meta data report.
  • Ability to generate report with document comments without all meta data report.
  • Ability to run longer searches with more parameters.
DISCO is well suited for managing large data sets and is particularly useful for running review stages to highlight relevant and non responsive documents. DISCO is well suited for building exhibit sets from the documents produced. DISCO creates a database of both plaintiff and defendant documents and allows users to run searches using syntax, and the search builder helps users learn the DISCO syntax.

Our firm uses DISCO in support of its litigation practice. We use it for document production ingestion, document review, production of documents, etc. We find DISCO to be a very user-friendly platform from discovery through trial. Our attorneys and paralegals primarily use it. Since all of our personnel have access to DISCO, it allows us to work together in a very productive, organized manner cohesively.
  • It is easily used for producing documents. I appreciate how easy it is to create load files to provide to opposing counsel.
  • DISCO's support team is the best in the business, bar none. I always feel free to call them about any concerns or problems I am having. I know that they will go the distance to ensure that my questions are answered and my concerns are assuaged. Even after hours, I have been able to get answers to my questions. Most importantly, their support staff is incredibly helpful and caring people, which is immediately apparent during the phone calls.
  • DISCO also makes it very easy to set up a specific document review stage, tailored just as I need it. I appreciate the ability to tag documents per my requirements, to write privilege notes, to redact passages quickly, etc. The fact that this tailored document review staging is all so easy to set up speaks to how great a program DISCO is.
  • I love how, in the main "Search and Review' window, to my left, I can have the filters. This is so handy and time-saving! I can't count the times that I have chosen documents based upon specific recipients/senders, or narrowed down my search by choosing "inclusive emails only."
  • Perhaps this is my ignorance, but when I'm in the main "Search and Review" window and want to choose specific documents from here to, say, batch print, I have to click the grey square to the left of the document one by one, instead of clicking a grey square on top of the window that would automatically choose all the documents showing in that window, and then deselect the ones I don't want.
  • I know this is a safety feature, but sometimes it would be nice to be able to change certain features of documents myself instead of asking DISCO support team to do so, i.e., changing the custodian of specific documents.
  • Instead of choosing the "copy format from a previous production" that automatically changes a Bates prefix for you that you may not want, maybe a feature where you have preset choices of metadata and confidentiality to apply to productions without affecting a chosen Bates prefix.
I can't imagine going through litigation without DISCO by my side. From receiving and producing documents, reviewing clients' and opposing counsels' documents, making privilege logs, creating trial exhibits, etc. DISCO makes my life so much easier. I appreciate that I still have much to learn about DISCO, but even with my base-level knowledge of DISCO, I can be very successful at my job. As a paralegal, I need this program to be the best support I can be for my clients.
