Good value for mid sized firms.
- Easy to set up review stages.
- Helpful metrics to oversee users' progress.
- Easy to add highlights.
- Intuitive setup.
- I liked how in Relativity you could correlate first-line and subsequent review coding panels.
- I'm told that AI has increased functionality, but I don't understand how it's integrated yet.
Ehh...
- 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.
Dance your way to ediscovery bliss with DISCO
- The user interface is quite intuitive
- The support provided by DISCO is knowledgeable and practical
- DISCO is often on the forefront of newly emerging additions to the eDiscovery landscape
- The only aspect of DISCO I dislike is that certain features are not included as baseline features but come with added expense
DISCO Ediscovery? Where have you been all my life?!!! [Well, for my last 37 years as a complex tort and trial paralegal]
- 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!
- 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
Disco valuable to government work
- Excellent user interface
- Good support team
- Helpful tutorials
- Listening to clients and making changes to accommodate needs
- I'd still like to be able to extract single pages from Disco within a larger set of documents.
- Sometimes billing groups can be a little difficult to work with as they can be unresponsive and slow to correct errors.
Easy to Navigate but Less Advanced Features
- Intuitive website design
- Clear metrics available to show review progress
- Highlighting of search terms seemed buggy, particularly, when we were doing Boolean searches
- Better deduplicating ability
DISCO is the best eDiscovery software, hands down.
- Ingests, tagging, productions
- Fantastic search capability, even beginner users can master it with little training.
- Customized reviewer profiling, very helpful for expert and client access.
- Very easy for beginners and non-tech-savvy users--this is my #1 favorite thing about DISCO Ediscovery and the main reason I brought it into the firm.
- I wish we could dismiss the redaction reasons box either per case or toggle it on and off. It's really annoying and in our practice we rarely, if ever, use it.
- I would like to be able to tick checkboxes in document review, like in Relativity.
- Search and redact would be extremely helpful, like in Adobe.
- Tiny pinpoint redactions are very difficult to do in DISCO Ediscovery (Otherwise I love the redaction tool).
DISCO Ediscovery--the smart archive
- Search documents
- Share documents
- Organize documents
- Pricing
- Improved search accuracy
- Staff availability
DISCO Ediscovery--quick and easy discovery!
- DISCO Ediscovery's search terms are intuitive and powerful.
- DISCO Ediscovery allows you to easily extract lists of document metadata and attorney work product.
- DISCO Ediscovery makes productions easy, including bates numbering documents.
- Analyzing near duplicates
- Identifying unique email or "inclusive" emails
- OCR could be improved (already great) to pick up smaller-sized text
Benefits of DISCO Ediscovery for Litigation
- Searchability
- Maintaining files
- User friendly
- Easier to search by custodian
- An easily accessible glossary of search functions/keys and explanations
- Easier to search by who sent or received an email
Clear and Easy to Use
- Provides keyword and custodian search capability.
- Provides metadata.
- Helps organize documents in clear format.
- It would be helpful to have the capability to send a doc directly to the managing attorney because they don't always want to go into a database.
DISCO is the best document platform I have used, by far!
- Allows filtering of documents by multiple and useful categories
- User friendly interface
- Searching for particular documents or categories of documents is much easier that in other platforms I have used
- I actually have no suggestions. I really like the platform.
- 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 phenomenal - spend less time at work and more time with your friends and family!
- Tagging documents.
- Filtering for documents in a search.
- Organizing the documents.
- More user-friendly interface.
- Easier search parameters.
Don't think. Just use it. DISCO is the best.
- Self-management of key functions. Ingests can be handled by users, as well as production sets. No need to wait on discovery vendors.
- Simple, yet powerful, search syntax. It uses a familiar Boolean search syntax, and can search a wide variety of metadata fields easily.
- It is fast. Not quick; outright fast. It blows away every other platform on the market. Review times are cut in half, and searches are lightning quick.
- Web-based. Allows for multiple logins by one user at a time. If you are in the middle of a review, but see something else you want to look up, simply open a new tab in the browser, and go.
- Additional ways to refine searches. If I have tagged all documents containing "phrase x," and then hit the family inclusion button, it expands the number of responsive documents. This is fine. But if I want to see those additional family documents to see if it changes the type of tag or category I need to assign, that is not easily done.
- Audits of user actions. I can audit a single document for what actions were performed by specific reviewers. But if I want to pull all actions for a group of reviewers, for a specific set of documents, there are no good solutions.
- More customization of export document lists. I would like to be able to easily customize the categories of metadata that are exported. Deep dives into opposing party data sometimes requires looking at very specific metadata fields. When it is exported to excel, the sort options make this easier. But I don't want to hide 30 columns to make that happen.
- The ability to customize the document view screen. If I want to minimize or hide all the panels on the left, I want that screen space back. Or, I would like to only have the metadata pane, the conversation pane, and the tagging pane on one side, and hide the rest. This should be an option.
- Hovering for more information is broken. It routinely will move to different spots, and sometimes out of view (i.e., below the bottom of the browser screen).
- Metadata pane. If there are multiple paths, and you click it to see the hidden paths, it truncates the paths so you can't see the whole thing.
- Document notes. If there are notes, you should be able to see them without having to click the "view/edit note."
If you don't have a large volume of data, then you don't really need a discovery platform, and can self-review. However, even with small data sets, it can be much easier to open a new matter, ingest, and the run a production then to do it natively. There is no good option for converting large amounts of email files to pdf or tiff and then bates stamping.
DISCO - My favorite platform
We've moved to DISCO from Summation because it is user friendly, convenient and efficient.
- It is very efficient with search terms.
- The support staff is knowledgeable.
- Access is always good working remote.
- The tagging feature - I'd like to be able to mass tag documents without putting them in folders first.
DISCO is great!
- Simply viewing the document (and attachments)--much better interface than competitors.
- Sorting and filtering effectively.
- Document Search capabilities.
- Cost.
Success for first time e-discovery software user
- search capabilities
- document organization
- dashboard organization
DISCO is a fantastic platform for eDiscovery
- DISCO software is easy to use for even the most entry-level document reviewer. All one needs to know how to do is browse web pages.
- DISCO has a good amount of organizational functionality that allows us to identify key documents and custodians to improve efficiency in our early-stage document review process. We can target dates, topics, and specific custodians with ease using the visual organization tools without requiring knowledge of building text-based searches.
- The DISCO project support team is responsive, and projects can usually be started within hours of the initial opening request. The team is always willing to do training as users become more advanced and interested in exploring deeper functionality of the tool.
- In my previous experience, I have found that coding may not be recorded when a user is going extremely fast through documents.
- Right now, at least, we do not appear to have the ability to independently upload load files and productions we received from other parties.
- The more complex and useful tools are somewhat difficult to locate and learn to use without assistance from project support team members.
- The text searching can be difficult to use, especially when trying to search for exclusion rather than the inclusion of documents based on the searches.
- The folder system is not intuitive. Parent folders include all documents within sub-folders, even when those sub-folders are designed to exclude documents. This is likely a unique problem than can be resolved using different procedures, though.
Hands down the best document review platform I have worked with
- The platform is very intuitive and user-friendly and makes creating searches much easier. There is an option of creating Boolean search terms or the much easier Search Builder that DISCO has created.
- Our office appreciates being able to create folders and save specific documents to them. Although you can accomplish the same result through saved searches, the folders make it easier for some attorneys to access the information they need much easier than creating searches.
- The document review pane is also extremely helpful in that it provides all of the information pertinent to that document (and its family) in one view. I like that the search term hits are highlighted in the document view and the reviewer can "jump" to each hit.
- On a couple of occasions, I submitted a request for assistance from the technical support staff but the system had not registered my request. Luckily, I was not working on a document production deadline so the time delay was not ultimately a big issue.
- I would like to be able to create and save the specifics to a new production ahead of my actual production deadline, thus saving me time at the very end of the review when time is usually short.
Great product, great service
- Document review platform.
- Customer service/responsiveness.
