The Spectra platform is built on best practices and technologies stemming from Lighthouse’s 25+ years in
the legal services industry. It is the only end-to-end cloud solution that offers best-of-breed tools, includes sophisticated automation and customization, and is backed by an army of subject matter experts and project
managers who are familiar with your workflow, standing at the ready when you need them. Load data, put automation to work, and lean on the full Lighthouse team when and where you need them.

Best way to use Relativity on a small project

We use it mainly for fast-burn ECA reviews and small projects that only require a quick email review.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Fast and easy setup, DIY for everything but with a fantastic, responsive support team available to handle anything out of our comfort zone. Ability to do nearly any admin task ourselves is key.

Cons:

No complaints or issues, and any time we have any issues or questions, the Spectra support team always has a quick and good answer.

Reasons for choosing Lighthouse Spectra

Self-administration and cost for smaller projects (which, if and when they become large projects, are easily migrated to full service).

Lighthouse Spectra is Critical to our Litigation Operations

The support team has made my overall experience with Lighthouse Spectra better than I ever could have imagined. They are fast to respond, and help me solve problems as they arise even with a tight deadline. The support team are extremely kind and are one of the primary reasons my firm will stick with Lighthouse Spectra.

Lighthouse Spectra makes our litigation and eDiscovery work so much easier. The interface is slick and easy to process documents into Relativity. It allows my small firm to go toe-to-toe against much larger firms.

Pros:

I like the keyword search capabilities, the save search feature, including editing and copying saved searches, and ease to batch export documents to PDF

Cons:

Unlike concordance, where the metadata and extracted text could be seen along with the list of documents that responded to a search or tag, one must click on and enter each document to see the metadata and text. Also, search history is not easily available

Functionality

Pros:

The product requires zero infrastructure investment from our firm. The ability to get up and running quickly on any matter is beneficial. The customer support team is top-notch and shows that they truly want to help the client.

Cons:

I would like a billing module built in to the software so that it doesn't require interaction with the Lighthouse team each month. The import/export feature needs to be fine tuned to handle larger exports more efficiently.

Reasons for choosing Lighthouse Spectra

We were excited to be involved in the early stages and development of the software. Many things that were requested to be included by our firm are now important parts of the software.

Working with the forensics team has been incredibly helpful to learn more about the collection from particular data sources. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was tremendously helpful with that request and guiding us along the way. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been tremendously helpful in providing production support. That's a few names to acknowledge along the list of employees who we interact with daily that have been incredibly helpful in educating, problem solving, troubleshooting and in general great working relationships with employees from Lighthouse Spectra.
