Pros:

Though I have been a contract attorney for 12 years, this is my first experience using Sightline. So far the experience has been simple and user-friendly. I had a technical issue on my first day, but [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] in customer service was very helpful and resolved my issue right away!

Cons:

I could not figure out how to show previously-reviewed documents, which disappeared from my dashboard after completion. A colleague showed me how to switch the panel to "off" to display completed documents. This wasn't intuitive; without my colleague's help, I wouldn't have figured out this feature.

Reasons for switching to Sightline

Switch was not my decision; it was based on KPMG's and the client's wishes.

Pros:

I am still learning how to use the software, it's only been a month or so since we implemented Sightline. Loading documents is relatively easy compared to our last software where the documents were stored on our servers yet the application was web-based.

Cons:

It really is too early to comment on what I like least.

Reasons for choosing Sightline

The technical support that was available to us. We knew we may need Consilio for additional support services.

Reasons for switching to Sightline

AccessData was no longer investing in their product; it has now been sold to another company. Also, we needed a product that was entirely web-based. We had so many issues with our company housing the documents on our servers.

Vendor Response

Thanks so much, Allyson for your review. Feel free to reach out if we can be of any assistance as you continue to learn / work in the platform.

E-Disclosure Exercise

Its been an exceptionally useful product, one which I will definitely be endorsing to my colleagues for future similar exercises and which I wouldn't hesitate to use again. I really cannot sign the praises enough for the technical support received and how much of a time-saver it was.

Pros:

1) Speed - Consilio were able to help us deploy the software at very short notice to assist with an impending deadline 2) User friendly - the system is intuitive, with some minor exceptions, everything is easy to navigate and logical. 3) System Support - the training and system support that we received was first class. A gentleman called Chethan was a credit to Consilio, he was always on-hand to provide technical support, friendly, exceptionally helpful and pro-active and helped the project run smoothly from start to finish. 4) Assignments - as an administrator the ability to assign tasks and monitor progress was exceptional. You feel like you have a really good grasp on what has been done and what is outstanding within your team. 5) Customisation - the fact that tags can be reviewed and customised to the individual product is a brilliant feature 6) Time savings - the document review process is a real time-saver along with the analytics and the de-duplication process on uploading.

Cons:

These are relatively minor issues but things which would improve the 1) Excessive Clicking - there are some screens (for example the production process) which require you to click "back" through each step rather than being able to click a hyperlink and navigate to that section. 2) Explanations - some fields (particularly in the production screen) do use technical terminology, the system would benefit from being able to hover over some fields and presented with a explanation of the field in layman's terms. 3) Export Data - we were tasked with preparing a disclosure list with the fields having been prescribed by our opponents in litigation. Whilst we were able to achieve with technical support, it was slightly disappointing to note that the "export data" function to excel was not able to achieve the same result due to the limited options of metadata which could be exported from Sightline. 4) Folders - Once folders of documents have been updated or "data sets" as its termed, its a shame that these cannot be renamed once they have been uploaded. This means that choosing appropriate folder names for the data sets is crucial at the time of uploading. It would be useful if you could have an upload folder name and a customisable sightline folder name to give the administrators more control.

Feedback from Michelmores LLP for use of Sightline for CMA Document Review Exercis

This was my first experience of Sightline and I would have absolutely no hesitation in using the software again and recommending it to colleagues in the Firm. Having not used a document review platform like this before, I cannot compare the price. However, so far as I am concerned the product is very good value for money. I had a very good experience using this software.

Functionality

Pros:

The accessibility and assistance provided by [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and the Team at Consilio. Queries were always dealt with promptly and the fact that they were on standby and allowed team members to share their screen meant that everyone quickly picked up how to use different functions of the software. It was because of the ease of use of the software that enabled on a very small team of people to process over 7,000 documents in a very short space of time. Once you have got used to the interface the software is counterintuitive to use.

Cons:

I would not say there was anything I did not like about the software. There were two aspects of the software that I thought could be improved:- 1 - When drawing down documents, whilst there might be a cap, it would help if all parent and child documents could be downloaded as a whole. Whether that is by not allowing you to draw up to the cap, or allowing you to draw over the cap. We have numerous instances where there was more than one fee earner reviewing documents, where you would get to the end of the document cap and find you only had part of the child documents referable to the parent. It would make it difficult for the person who had drawn the child documents to ascertain how to tag the document and slowed us down in that respect. 2 - I think the search function could be simplified and it may be helpful to have the option to unprocess documents so that they are re-reviewed. We had instances where we recognised that some mistakes had been made with the tagging. Once the documents had been located and the tags amended, it was not abundantly clear that the tags had saved. It may be easier if you could unprocess them to manually review again.

I was interested in bringing e-discovery in-house and was able to accomplish this task by onboarding Sightline. We are now able to control our costs and our data.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Sightline's top features allow user to upload custodial datasets, process the data utilizing search terms (date ranges, specific custodians, etc.), set up for review in a Relativity-like atmosphere, prepare for production and preservation through hosting. The accompanying manuals and the team support make the product easy to navigate and understand. Ultimately, the product is very much a hands-on and designed for self-sufficiency.

Cons:

Like all SAAS products, Sightline functions best using strong internet connection and slows when connection is weak. When you're importing sizeable amount of data, it's best to have the strongest connection. Other slow downs include the time it takes to learn how Sightline works, the syntax to apply for searches, how to batch the search results and process them according to the software parameters. Not all of the steps are obvious and easy to follow in the beginning but after completing the first few cases, the steps come together - not a complicated or fussy program but one that requires some investment of time navigating.

Reasons for choosing Sightline

This selection was very much based on the assistance provided by [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], our long-time e-discovery partner. After comparisons and research, we found that Sightline supported our needs on almost every front.

Functionality

Pros:

As in house counsel, I both review and manage other attorney's review of our confidential information. The ability to assign outside counsel document sets that they can review from their office, without ever taking possession of the data, saves money off of prior software that required the attorney to travel to our office, log onto our system in order have access. Further, there are several options to create designated coding buttons that allow quick and efficient coding of similar types of data without having to change coding for each individual document.

Cons:

My complaints are very few and mainly pertain to the need to go through several steps to get to a point where the unreviewed documents are brought up (filtering through tags). However, this is a minor complaint and the steps to get to this point are greatly outweighed by the benefits of the other features.

Reasons for switching to Sightline

We were faced with buying a new version of SumPro in order to continue using the product as the original version was dependent on E-explorer, and the company was unable to update the version we had to rectify the issues. We took this opportunity to evaluate other software, and were happy to switch to sightline.

Vendor Response

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review, Sam! We're glad to hear about your use of document sets to flex to your preferred workflow and how coding stamps are speeding up your coding decisions. Users, such as yourself, are increasingly efficient once fully up to speed with the interface, so our initial designs on filter toggles are definitely something for us to explore how to improve upon. Thanks again for your trust in Sightline!

Legal Document Review Made Simple and Efficient

Notwithstanding the "cons" listed above (which, as stated, could be user error), Sightline is easy to use and navigate and it is very efficient.

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I use this software to review thousands of documents produced in litigation discovery. The dashboard and the document review panes are incredibly easy to understand and navigate. The software developers somehow managed to put an enormous amount of information and options on each page, without making it too crowded or intimidating. Compared to other document review software I have used in the past, I had almost no learning curve -- everything is intuitive and easy to find.

Cons:

On rare occasions, my document review screen will suddenly jump back to the dashboard page, and I will need to navigate back to the document I was reviewing. It is possible this is due to user error, however; I'm not sure. Also, when reviewing documents in a "saved search", the program periodically refreshes the search result list by eliminating the documents I have already reviewed and coded; this refreshing of the list takes me to a different part of the document list, even if I was in the middle of reviewing a "parent" document with many attachments. Then I have to find my way back to the attachments. There is probably a way to avoid this.

Excellent Experience Using Sightline

I have to say that the support received from sightline whilst learning how to best use it was brilliant. we are approximately 50% through the project in 4 weeks. This is far better than we thought, prior to sourcing Sightline we had estimated that it would take 1 year to complete the project. As you can see Sightline has vastly improved that timeline.

Pros:

It allowed us to swiftly review and categorize data. The system was adaptable, had the ability to set up fast keys, which automated some of the categorization for you.

Cons:

I think if using in the future I would spend more time developing the tags needed to ensure they fit the project well. This is not really a system issue at all, just a learning point from using the system.
