"I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc.""The solution is very stable.""It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines.""It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts.""The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use.""The technical support is excellent.""Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."

Cons
"The price per user could be improved. We'd like for it to be more affordable.""They require more built-in support for some third-party applications.""I would definitely not recommended it unless you have someone who has had experience with it and knows how to work the program.""There are a lot of bugs on the development side.""What I dislike about Relativity is that we have to go through the host in order to do productions and loads. It is not a do-it-yourself tool."

More kCura Relativity Cons →

"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement.""The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better.""​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​""I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function.""There were minor UI bugs.""We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email.""In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."

    Overview
    Quickly sort through large amounts of data to extract similarities and access information to create coherent reports

    eDiscovery collection tools address the rise in dispersed and remote workforces, the proliferation of mobile devices and new sources of data. Comprehensively collecting data across all data sources, including endpoints, such as desktops and laptops, is critical to defensibility. Collection analytics and culling is key to efficient digital investigations, narrowing the document collection to drive down the cost of legal review.

    With OpenText™ EnCase™ eDiscovery, organizations can streamline the collection, culling and preservation of data across diverse sources in a single efficient process.
