Considered Both Products
DISCO Ediscovery
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
I have had minimal interaction with Relativity.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
I love DISCO university and all of the resources I can easily navigate to answer questions immediately or solve problems I encounter as I learn to use the program.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
I found DISCO to be easier to use than ViewPoint and Relativity. However, my use of this platform was strictly reviewing and coding. I didn't do any productions or upload documents, so I cannot attest to the functionality of DISCO as compared to the other two.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
DISCO Ediscovery is easier to learn, more intuitive to use, and seems to give more consistent results. The interface is quite easy to use and gives a lot of information that aids in document review. The threading and family functions are extremely helpful

DISCO is affordable and easy to use for boutique firms.

Chose DISCO Ediscovery
I believe Relativity had greater functionality for more advanced users, but it's more complicated nature caused more mistakes among users who lacked experience.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
Relativity. I found the interface of Relativity more intuitive. However, it is easier to manipulate documents on DISCO. Both could be improved by allowing you to mass download documents more easily.

See other previous answers. Relativity is miles better but obviously more expensive
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
I much prefer DISCO over Everlaw and Relativity

We've used Relativity, Xera, and a few others I'm forgetting. I strongly dislike Relativity when I have to use it now that I've been using DISCO Ediscovery.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
This is what I told the sales rep for Relativity and Lumix: "DISCO Ediscovery is much more user-friendly, faster, accurate, and… well, just everything else pales in comparison, is STILL an understatement – it was a collective decision and unanimous. We will stay with DISCO …
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
DISCO kills relativity in my mind. the speed, ease of use, modern and user-friendly interface, etc., etc. hands down. do not use relativity if you can use disco. i haven't used concordance in ages because it was terrible than so I can only assume it's still terrible.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
DISCO is more cost effective, easier to use and outperforms the other platforms. DISCO makes me look good. :)
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
I used Relativity a long time ago and wasn't a fan. It was at the time very similar to Disco but you didn't have as much control and the interface wasn't as user-friendly.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
For the user, DISCO was more intuitive to use and navigate. It also seemed to load documents faster than some other platforms. However, it felt like the search and filtering capabilities were less advanced.
Chose DISCO Ediscovery
DISCO Ediscovery leaves them all in the dust. We selected DISCO Ediscovery for a lot of reasons, ease of use being the primary one.

It's user-friendly and very intuitive. It has many capabilities that are out of the box, and it does not need to do any workaround. Also, there are many ways to do the same thing which is great when we are in a rush and how a user learns. Attorneys are loving the Case Builder function. I am happy that we can streamline processes and get to do more of what we love to do versus being bogged down by tedious steps.

Google vault is good to use when you have large document files which needs to be put in cold storage or turn cold storage to hot storage in case the documents need to be retrieved. I t works well on automating tasks around till how long one needs to hold on to the data and then retire the documents as well. Some areas where the Google Vault would be less useful is if some documents needs to be used frequently and they are put in the vault as Google Vault is expensive to use very frequently.

DISCO Ediscovery outperforms all the competitors we reviewed on ease of adoption, usability, UI design, support, functions, features, and feature updates. While the price was a bit higher, DISCO Ediscovery's value was far greater than that offered by the other products. DISCO Ediscovery's functionality and accessibility was the best suited to our practice and the size of our firm and even the less tech savvy employees can learn how to use the application with some basic training.

Veritas Enterprise Vault although the best backup solution present was quite expensive and difficult to implement at an org level. Google Vault is very smooth and easy to implement with orgs already using Google Workspace for business. The only reason for selecting Google Vault was a quick TAT for implementation but if your org has time for that, Veritas Vault is the best option wrt Storage, discovery, post-sales support, pricing, etc.
