A stable and scalable hybrid solution with easy setup
The solution is scalable. It has three levels. You have the presentation area that can be escalated to the balance sheet. You have the back-end area that can be escalated using higher viability to configure more application servers. Also, the area of storage can be increased. We usually cater to enterprise solutions but have small- and medium-sized customers. It starts with 25 users and goes up to 100s and 1000s.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Knovos eZSuite has a nice interface and performance well. It has a good processing speed."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The solution has been quite good, and, overall, the features we need are available to us."
"I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc."
"Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
"The solution is very stable."
"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."
"It is a very useful tool; it is worth buying irrespective of price."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by having better integration with different platforms. Additionally, the audio and video could have better support."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."
"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"I suggest that if the mobile phone acquisition is embedded in the Encase law enforcement version, it would be very useful."
"​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​"
"This is not the program I would suggest for a newbie using to learn. It is just too expensive for the full experience, and the student versions, while very good, are just for that, students."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were using a trial license of the solution."
"​The product is affordable and user-friendly.​"
"We have a license. And, we found the cost high. We contacted them and talked to them about the ratio of the US dollar versus the Indian rupee and then we came to a solution."
