Overall, I have become very comfortable using DA. This has become my goto package for most searches I need to perform.

This software isn't for everyone

Are you looking for a two month old email from your CEO to the head of HR? That one email with "diversity" in its subject? Honestly, it's not going to be very hard to find, is it... You just need to get logged in and get it over with. If that's a typical search for you, then there's no need to continue. Discovery Attender can do jobs like that, but that's not why it exists. But if you're reading this, I'll bet that's not your typical search. I'll bet you've got at least 3 terms, a 4 year date range, and 5 to 7 different mailboxes to comb through. Oh and don't forget each of those users has server-based email, plus multiple personal folders on their hard drives. And perhaps this time, you even need to search their My Documents folder, and SharePoint sites. Now you're in Discovery Attender's neighborhood. And life is about to get a whole lot better. To explain: a few years back, I was just like you. I opened Outlook, I typed my search term in the box, waited impatiently, and then frowned at all those results. I had a pad of paper next to my desk with a grid drawn on it. Each user, each term, each and every data source, a check-box. It was slow, it was boring, and it was prone to mistakes. Not the best environment when lawyers are involved. Then, our company purchased this software and my searches were quite literally revolutionized, overnight. I found myself looking forward to taking this muscle-car of a program for a spin. I'd define the terms, set a date range, and point Discovery Attender at the specific mailboxes and PSTs involved. Once setup was complete, I'd fire up the search and head home to relax. Upon coming back to work the next morning, my results would be waiting for me in one easy-to-manage location. Or course it's not all rainbows. If a PST is corrupted, or password protected, you'll find an icon indicating part of the search was unable to complete. You'll have to manually repair, or unlock those troubled files. But then asking DA to run a follow-up search is a right-click away. Bottom line: if you know e-Discovery, Discovery Attender is going to help you do it faster, easier, and with greater transparency. The software's cost is much less than the days it saves me every year. And I couldn't be happier with the customer support we've received from Sherpa over the last 10 years. You know you don't want to be "thinking about it" when that next e-Discovery deadline pops up. Get to know these guys today!

Discovery Attender - Manual to Automated
5
Discovery Attender definitely filled our need for the ability to streamline our email discovery process. Too much time was being spent on manual searches and there is too much room for error that way. The tool is easy to use and intuitive. Very glad we were able to implement it.

If you host exchange, this app is a MUST!

I had a very critical task before I "discover" this app. I need to produce emails, export it in PST file with bunch of conditions (sender, recipient, date range, etc..), of course cmdlet script would do that but when the condition gets more complicated you'd end up pulling your hair and give up. Not to mention I'm dealing with 1500 mailboxes and hundreds of thousands emails to be sorted (not including archives). I don't believe in miracle but Sherpa came to the rescue and handed me an app that saved my hair :D Discovery Attender is flexible, complex and very efficient app (and yes, easy to use!!!). it's what IT would love to have. Customer service is friendly, reliable and easy to deal with. This app gives you ability to pull emails out from the mailboxes, and convert email (eml, msg, pst) in a flash.. There's a lot of things to say but I would just put it this way; This 5 stars app RULEZ! Anyway, I don't usually write a review, but Discover Attender deserves it. Thank you Sherpa for producing this one of a kind application. I haven't seen any app that would match your's, not a bit.

We have used Discovery Attender for a number of years. We have been very satisfied with the function that it plays in our discovery process. We have tried other tools but they never quite measure up to Discovery Attender.

Great Product! Does what we need.

Discovery Attender has been a great product for us. It makes pulling emails across our environment easy. It took me a little while to get the hang of all of the options but customer support staff's support worked with me and helped me fix a few mistakes in my query at times to get it to pull exactly what I needed. If I had to do this manually it would have been a nightmare but with this software I just set it up let it run and checked it later or the next day. I recommend this product. We use it on the IBM i Series platform running Domino.

Great tool for e-discovery
4
I really depend on this tool for my e-discoveries of pst files. No other tool I’ve seen can get as granular when used against this data. I can also export this data in a variety of formats based on how it is requested. It is very legal-friendly.
