Cons

Analytics
Generative AI
Detailed dashboards

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it for document review. It’s a great platform.I manage a team of attorneys who use it. We like the tagging feature and email threading feature. The similar documents is good too. It’s for a large number of documents. Only issue is log in problems occasionally. Productions are easy.

Pros

Production
Tagging of documents
Email threading
Speed

Cons

Log in
Run time
Filtering docs

Likelihood to Recommend

The tagging and threading function is great! It helped me find useful documents for depositions. The production time allowed me to get out two big productions to opposing counsel on time. The customer service is great. The review platform is easy to use and downloading documents is fast. My team can share documents easily.

We like to use Relativity for small and large matters. It is extremely rare that I would think of using another eDiscovery platform. We conduct PII reviews for one of our service lines. We use another software called Canopy which has much more suitable features.

May 25, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our organization uses Relativity to have it as a platform for all eDiscovery-related work and presents this platform to more than 1000 clients for their electronic evidence, documents processing, coding decisions, review, analytics, and all other eDiscovery related counsel work. It is a very robust platform for hosting documents, various kinds of files, audio, etc. It has lots of analytics and processing prowess, very detailed in-depth review features, and granular security controls for access of specific objects and things to particular groups or individuals.

Pros

Documents review
Imaging and production of documents with redactions
Searches and search term reports
Content Analytics
Processing

Cons

Processing
UI

Likelihood to Recommend

Relativity is well suited for all the eDiscovery workflows. It's excellent for document review, coding, active learning, content and structured analytics, searches, persistent highlights, imaging, and burning redactions into productions. The error rates with processing in Relativity are a little compared to other eDiscovery processing tools in the market. It is solely for document review purposes legal scenarios or otherwise, but it is not a complete solution for building customized hosting nor neither it is a replacement for conventional websites.

Relativity Can Be A Long Lost Relative - Valuable When Found/United

Rating: 8 out of 10

March 4, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Relativity as an online document management system. It's used to store document collections, review documents for privilege and responsiveness, redact and produce documents and native files. Also used for document searches and review for preparations for upcoming depositions. Create and download collections of documents and native files for review and use as deposition exhibits.

Pros

Searching for documents and native files with various terms and approaches.
Tagging documents and native files for further review.
Creating and downloading collections of documents and native files for depositions.

Cons

More access to modifying homepage and search results view.
More control over adding and deleting features.

Likelihood to Recommend

For the most part, Relativity is fairly easy to learn and use on a daily basis. Like most programs and platforms, you can learn to streamline usage, features, and results/downloads with more users over time. Just be careful how with multiple users in a document database, you have to make sure everyone knows NOT to make any edits or changes to tags and collections that others have set up.

Pros

Likelihood to Recommend

Relativity is particularly well suited for large electronic discovery matters where a lawyer is attempting to sort through thousands of documents in a short period of time.

October 19, 2017

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Relativity is primarily used by my organization in two separate workflows: 1) cull/filter data, 2) review client data for production and prepare productions AND review of in-bound productions from opposing counsel

Pros

Can scale to support a review of a large number of documents and reviewers and/or large number of cases
Can be customized to support a variety of different workflows and integration with 3rd party tools and external processes and scripting of different fields
Very secure. Can be enabled to run 2 factor authentication

Cons

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

Likelihood to Recommend

It's well suited for culling/filtering data, review and production of data. It's not well suited for organizations who don't have expertise administering a similar product and/or infrastructure to support the tool
