Overall Satisfaction with DISCO Ediscovery

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

DISCO is our favorite e-discovery tool, and it is used in over a half dozen matters at any given time. Managing e-discovery in complex litigation where there are hundreds of thousands of documents can be extremely time-consuming, and even more challenging to find the specific information requested by attorneys. DISCO is used by all legal team members and experts, the ability to consolidate and share work product in one platform is extremely valuable. Because the system is so intuitive it makes on-boarding new reviewers fast. But the best feature is the analysis it provides with AI/predictive coding, it is absolutely next level.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Predictive analysis on document sets to discover defensible bulk coding of thousands of similar documents with very high accuracy and confidence.
Easy to use filters and data visualizations to help manage overwhelming amounts of data.
Easy to use search features, with more robust search syntax than other systems.
Easy to manage batched review stages, and customize any possible review layout or coding imaginable.

Cons

DISCO is not cheap... When compared to some systems it appears overly expensive.
If it were less expensive, more clients would feel comfortable with the cost.
The value in DISCO is hidden, so the GB/Mo. cost appears inflated.

Likelihood to Recommend

DISCO is perfect for our large and complex matters, where early case assessment can be used to reduce monthly hosting costs. By utilizing the AI we can avoid costly eyes on review of non-responsive or unimportant documents by performing random sampling analysis on large sets of documents, this has been incredibly successful and the accuracy and confidence levels achieved are well beyond what can be expected with a contract review process.
For extremely large matters, the cost structure for DISCO is substantial- and we have clients who don't like the large monthly costs. I frequently see the value lost due to inefficiencies with other e-discovery systems, but that is impossible to quantify.
