Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Software

Pros

It was self explanatory and wasn't hard to figure out what you were looking for. I like that it is secure and no worries. And if you have problems no matter what time you have consultants available to help you.

Cons

I didn't really find anything I didn't like yet. I haven't been using it that long.

more efficient e-discovery process

Pros

Being able to upload our own cases and documents, knowing we have almost full control to work in the portal independently so we won't be charged if we don't want to be for professional service hours. Automatic OCR and the search abilities have significantly enhanced our e-discovery process. Being able to unredact redactions that we had previously made.

Cons

The only minor thing we don't like is that the redaction boxes are white/"x" and not black. We prefer black but that's a personal preference point. We've also already submitted a feature request, which is really nice that Lexbe takes user feedback seriously.

Pros

Ease of uses, very logical organization of data and tasks. Searching is easy and all work from ingestion to production can be done in-house.

Cons

The custom was tagging is difficult to work with, easy once you work with it for a bit, unfortunately, you aren't able to organize them.

It will help me more during my work day, which will make work less stressful. Thanks.

Pros

Easy to use and function. Easy to understand the directions to help you through. They spoke clear and understood what they were saying.

I am able to quickly, efficiently and cost effectively handle my own e-discovery needs!

Pros

Being able to control my own database! Uploading my documents and being able to work in the database on my time, with no vendor related lag time. Lexbe is very user friendly and cost effective.

Cons

Adobe fillable forms and certified signature forms won't load into the viewers. Unfortunately, you don't know how many of those you have in a data set until after they are loaded and processed with place holders. But Lexbe allows you to easily run a report to identify those problem documents.

Pros

Ease of use; availability of knowledgeable support and professional services; increased productivity for the firm in terms of document review, etc.

Pros

That is is cloud based and pretty speedy, I can easily save documents to my desktop, can easily switch from one library to another

Cons

Search functionality could be improved. Could make it easier to access info about the library (number of docs, pages, etc). Could be better programmed to let me save notes and view documents with notes on them, or mark a document 'hot' without having to add a note

Pros

I like that Lexbe allows my team to download, process, organize, and review a very, very large number of files without feeling overwhelmed.

Cons

While this is a wonderful software, the price point is what I like least about this program. Is there anyway to reduce this?

Not sure which software this survey refers to - the one I signed on to rate or the software hosting the survey.

Pros

Easy to load documents. Different formats to view documents including native. Support is great, but you shouldn't have to pay for it and if you are going to be charged, they should tell you before you incur a charge.

Cons

Method of review is confusing. Production screen should be one screen, not having to go between 2 different tabs on the browser. Don't like the placeholders -too many, too confusing.

We can easily store and find all the documents from our many cases and access them instantly from different computers. Finally moved us away from emailing documents to each other or storing them on several flash drives.

Pros

I love being able to contact Lexbe whenever I have any questions. Their customer service team is incredibly nice, quick, and helpful.

Cons

Some parts of the platform are not immediately intuitive but pretty easy to learn over time. It can be a little harder to learn for people who aren't used to working on computers all the time.

Pros

Simple, easy to use interface, especially since latest update
Document production & bates stamping quick and easy

Cons

Search functionality is imprecise: occasionally returns false positives
Batch document uploading can be a headache, esp. if produced outside of Lexbe; often has to be handled by Technical Services (who are always helpful)

Pros

The redaction function is straightforward and easy to use. Production is also efficient and not too complicated.

Cons

There is a limit to the size of documents you can upload at once into the system unless you want to pay more for it. This causes the documents to be divided up into different groups and hard to maintain.

Pros

It's relatively easy to use. Sometimes it runs very fast. Easy to upload files. Easy to make folders and tags.

Cons

Buggy. Sometimes slow. Has functionality flaws that sometimes make it difficult to use. For example, you can't redact things that are larger than the normal size paper, bc the redaction viewer is too small.

Pros

The automatic OCR function, which makes high volumes of documents easily searchable, coupled with the degree of customization for tagging and the ease of sharing cloud-hosted documents among team members makes Lexbe a stellar tool for analyzing, organizing, and collaborating on case document collections, no matter how vast the universe of documents.

Cons

The production features could be improved. Namely, the privilege marking, placeholder production when encountering incompatible document formats or otherwise problematic files, and the length of time it takes for the system to process and Bates stamp a production can be frustrating, time consuming, and occasionally lead to discovery disputes between parties.

Pros

The layout it easy to follow and can quickly browse all the cases for the firm. Uploading documents is a breeze and running productions is fast and easy.

Pros

I like that the program processes the data at a rapid pace while grouping emails and attachments together. It makes reviewing documents easier with many shortcuts!

Cons

Too many clicks in the document review process. The way the platform looks now is not appealing to the eye.

Pros

Easy to use with so many documents to review, customer service is amazing, the features are easy to use and figure out if you are not computer savey.

The software is very helpful in making Discovery easy for processing, review and production. It allows me to easily handle most jobs individually with the option of offering services to assist on larger or more difficult cases.

Pros

Some of the great advantages of using Lexbe include vast data types supported, multiple options for data processing and production, and a user friendly interface allowing for easy document review. Lexbe offers amazing customer support including training and monthly webinars as well as a very knowledgeable staff that goes out of the way to meet your firm's needs. They also offer great rates to be flexible with your firms storage needs and no additional charges for uploading and other common fees that you would incur if using a competitors platform.

Cons

Depending on site traffic, data formats, and file sizes sometimes the data processing can be slightly time consuming for uploading collections or downloading productions. However, this is the case with any program and the Lexbe support experts are very helpful in moving the process along.

PROS:
* Value. Lexbe is a very inexpensive and cost-effective e-discovery solution, such that even solo practitioners and small law firms can use it on a day-to-day basis without breaking the bank.
* Functionality. The platform has all the features one needs to satisfy basic ESI processing/production needs, and most of the advanced features of its larger competitors.
* Speed. Lexbe has a very quick turnaround on processing, searches, and production runs.
* Mobility. Because Lexbe is a hosted solution, a user can search for and retrieve documents from anywhere (which comes in very handy when one needs a document on the fly, such as during a deposition or hearing).
* Support. Lexbe staff respond to inquiries quickly and knowledgeably.
* Contextual help links. Lexbe's Help link immediately pulls up support articles related to what the user actually sees on his or her screen. While this feature may sound simple, this eliminates the headaches of trying to find the right help article for a problem.


Cons:
* The Lexbe interface is not as aesthetically pleasing or intuitive as many competitors.

Our company first heard of Lexbe through a referral and we contacted them to help us with our litigation.

Pros

It's easy to use, free processing and excellent customer support.

Cons

I wish it had a dashboard
