Relativity is an Industry Titan - for good reason

Relativity works well for most complex matters. The ability to Process data within the platform is very well executed, however, it can be difficult to troubleshoot issues without back-end access, which means you will need to partner with a Relativity export to assist.

Pros:

Relativity is straight foward and simple for end users to use. Many of the advanced features can be really helpful, though end users may not know anything about those tools unless they partner with a Relativity specialist.

Cons:

At times the learning curve on searching and navigating can be challenging. The folder-based UI can be a bit challenging for users to understand, especially where deduplication is being applied.

Reasons for choosing Relativity

This tool had all the features needed by clients and was largely recognized as a leader in the industry.

Pros:

It is very easy to use and convenient for electronic discovery document review. I love how it offers persistent highlighting of key terms and also displays the family relationships of each document in the coding panel so you can tell how each document relates to the last.

Cons:

Sometimes Relativity has latency issues in loading the coding panel during document review.

Best e-Discovery Software Possible

My business' legal department has been utilizing Relativity for e-Discovery document review. Numerous documents from either party believed to be relevant are uploaded to a server. From that point, administrators access Relativity and can set up searches for specific keywords, individuals, dates, issues, etc., and then save these searches to be accessed later. Searches of specific information by keyword and date allowed attorneys to divvy up the searches to a manageable amount and was crucial in ensuring the department got through the documents necessary in order to prepare for upcoming depositions. Relativity allowed lawyers to comb through millions of emails, each one getting tagged for a specific issue as it pertained to the case. When the department had finished, it was interesting to use Relativity and see which aspects of the case we had found the most evidence to win, which aspects were weak, and which individuals would be best to depose.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Relativity allows for efficient and thorough document review. All documents on the database can be searched through any combination of Relativity's search matrices. Searches can easily be saved, copied, edited, and saved again. As well, it is easy to organize these saved searches into categories, each referring to a specific individual or a specific aspect of the search. This allows for users to easily pull exactly the documents that are specific to their needs. While every feature could prove useful in a specific circumstance, I found myself mainly utilizing two: the family tab and the email-threading tab. The family tab indicates that their are emails attached to the one you are currently looking at. Similarly, the email-threading tab allows one to visualize the chain of emails, allowing for the entire thread to be edited all at once, rather than individually.

Cons:

Given that so much of the back-end of the Relativity website is perfect, I would have to say the design of the user-interface was one of the features I liked least about the program. There are so many icons which indicate a feature or function that can be performed that the screen immediately appears cluttered. With a small amount of white space, it is easy for one's eyes to strain while attempting to read dozens of documents. As well, even when I knew what it was I needed to do, it could be hard to find the right button to push. This issue is minor, however, and after a week or two of use does not become cumbersome. Another small issue somewhat related to this is a lack of "night mode," or the use of black and blue rather than white and grey, which other applications have begun to include and I find is much easier to look at for eight hours a day.

The processing and review functions are superb and can be customized to any type of matter or workflow. THere are a variety of built in tools that allow data to be viewed at the macro or micro level, depending on your needs. With as little as 20 minutes of training any lawyer or paralegal can easily learn how the system works, apply substantive coding and redactions.

Cons:

Sometimes the features are hard to configure without Admin help, but once you get the hang of it, the platform is scalable.

Pass or Fail based on the Administrator

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Easy to learn document review platform. Coding panels can be as simple or as complex as desired. Multiple databases, document lists and review panels can be created for a single matter.

Cons:

The biggest issue is that the functionality of the platform is dictated by the competence of the administrator. If a panel or view is not set up properly, it can cause endless problems for the actual review - simple tasks generate errors causing lost productivity. The use of the database also slows significantly during administrative managment.
