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.

| Director Consulting SAP OpenText en Entelgy at DCL Consultores EIM SL | 4.5 | We use OpenText EnCase eDiscovery for engineering and capital projects, benefiting from its full tech search and user experience enhanced by AI. However, there's a need to improve productivity. No alternate solutions or cloud providers were considered. |
| Digital Forensics Analyst at a security firm with 11-50 employees | 4.0 | I use Encase as a stable forensic tool for data extraction and keyword search. However, I find its scanning capacity limited and email processing inflexible and repetitive. I also desire better report customization, despite negotiating the high cost. |
| Sr. Engineer at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees | 4.5 | I use this stable solution for my data center, valuing its artificial modeling and fair pricing. My main concerns are slow technical support and unreliable reporting, but overall, it serves my needs well. |
| Team Lead at a security firm with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | I find EnCase powerful, especially with Enscripts and its faster indexing for investigations. While I noted minor UI bugs and desire better data ingestion, I believe it's an affordable, strong solution that compares well to alternatives. |
| Information Security Analyst at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees | 3.0 | I find this tool excellent for data recovery, particularly for repairing damaged and uncovering hidden partitions, which significantly improves case results. However, its ease of use and learning curve definitely need improvement. |
| Digital Forensic Investigator and Data Recovery Expert at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I appreciate Encase's all-in-one processing feature, which speeds up my work and helps me meet deadlines. Technical support is excellent, and setup was easy. However, image processing sometimes fails, and I need better email and mobile data support. |
| Sr. Systems Engineer (R&D) at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees | 2.0 | I value EnCase for teaching forensics due to its all-in-one features and stability. Setup is straightforward, but a better student version is needed. I also use other tools, recognizing its cost and advising enough licenses on a clean system. |
| Director-in-Charge at a non-tech company | 5.0 | I find Encase very user-friendly with valuable features, essential for forensic work and teaching over a decade. It's stable, with perfect customer service. I only suggest improving mobile phone acquisition in the law enforcement version. |
