Straightforward installation, good support, and suitable for large pipelines
My past experience with the Nuix eDiscovery platform showed it was clunky when reviewing individual files and viewing folder structures. I wondered why we had to process in Nuix eDiscovery and then transfer to another review platform, this was a waste of time. I wish Nuix eDiscovery would have a comprehensive review platform in-house. I heard they have improved in this area, but our firm hasn't invested in it. Integrating the processing and review would make for a fantastic solution.

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

"In my industry, it is important to use this solution because it can handle a large pipeline."
"Image creation and image analysis in one program, basically for ease of use."
"I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc."
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts, as it allows me to customize the scripts and deploy them as and how I need them, for example to segregate and index files efficiently."
"It is a very useful tool; it is worth buying irrespective of price."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
"The technical support is excellent."
"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."
"Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."
 

Cons

"My past experience with the Nuix eDiscovery platform showed it was clunky when reviewing individual files and viewing folder structures.

"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"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."
"​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​"
"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."
"From a customer service standpoint, this is unacceptable."
"I suggest that if the mobile phone acquisition is embedded in the Encase law enforcement version, it would be very useful."
"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Nuix eDiscovery is reasonable."
"EnCase is an affordable 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."
