The thing I like most about Everlaw is the visual layout of the search function. Being able to select the fields I want to search on by simply clicking on the color-coded buttons is extremely user friendly. Furthermore, being able to directly access the searches that have been shared me through the "Shared with me" option is way easier than the similar function in Relativity. I also really appreciate how easy it is to assign searches to my own folder so I don't lose track of them. Customer support has been great as well, anytime I have had access issues a representative has resolved them almost immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Even after sitting through an Everlaw training course, I am still very confused as to the difference between Assignments, Searches, Binders and Document Sets. The shared with me page is a little overwhelming with all of the different boxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is really intuitive. I have experience from one other project in another discovery platform, and I have found Everlaw much easier to learn and it has a lot of great features. The storybuilder is particularly helpful, and it is so nice that it is all included in the package, so I don't have to worry that every click I make is charging my firm more money. I work at a small nonprofit environmental law firm, and having access to Everlaw (through their Everlaw for Good program) has really opened doors for us and leveled the playing field with firms that have more resources to spend on this type of program.

The search feature is a little wonky when you first start using it but once you get the hang of it, it really is a lot easier to use and helps find documents more easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The thing I like the most about Everlaw is all of the things it can do, especially when it comes to coding, and making document productions. It can take almost any file type, and there was a problem I ran into once where it wouldn't take the load file type and they went and converted it and uploaded it for me. The Everlaw staff is also very helpful and quick in their responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Only downside is sometimes I don't know how to use certain features, I wish the help pages were a little more helpful. But nonethless the Everlaw staff is always there for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Everlaw's ability to connect to data sources and allow clients to process their own data, getting data into review as quickly as possible. The UI is fairly straight forward (with a few exceptions), and most users can easily learn how to use it without extensive training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The tool is largely a black box, so tweaking settings is not possible for things like threading, textual near duplicate analytics, indexing. It also is missing some features like recipient counts or the ability to create those if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
All of your case documents are organized in user friendly folders or buckets. There are a number of search options. Depending on specific case needs, you can keep usage basic or add bells and whistles to easily place your hands on the needed documents in response to discovery and for trial. Everlaw also comes with lots of help; you can easily reach someone to answer questions and provide further insight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are so many tools, it's taking me some time to learn them all. And they are constantly coming out with new bells and whistles; I'm not sure how I will be able to keep up! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The speed with which I can process discovery and run productions, and the ease I can on-board new users and teach them how to use Everlaw. Everlaw is designed to be used by new users and power users alike. I absolutely love the knowledgeable customer support reps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am hard pressed to find anything I dislike about Everlaw. Perhaps csv overlays could be made easier and less confusing by merging metadata and user-editable fields into a single type. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is simple and user friendly to navigate through the platform. I like how uploading and production process is easy and customer support is also responsive when the resources are not enough to understand some of process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing I don't like is when the production is made and need to revise/edit minor changes, I cannot revise/edit the production. I have to deletle the whole thing and rerun it again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Being able to highlight and add notes within documents has been really useful when reviewing voluminous files. I've been able to quickly read previous notes when I log back in to continue my review.
The code feature has been useful to group documents in a way that helps navigate and locate files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like to be able to extract specific pages from documents within Everlaw. I've encountered that for example I only need 3 pages out of a 25 page document and I can't simply take those out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think the processes are easy to manage. Uploading is easy, searching is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like how the data field meta data is managed. If you scan a documement it gives it an edit date of the scanned date. However, it could be a letter dated years prior. The date field works well for emails. But for things like correspondence (letters), memoranda or agreements it does not work so well. It would be ideal if you could use an OCR feature to pull the actual date of those documents into a field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In nearly 33 years of practice as a trial lawyer, I’ve had occasion to use a number of e-discovery platforms, and Everlaw is the most user-friendly by a long shot. Even as a 50-something Luddite, I was able to readily locate and review documents and configure and execute document productions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It’s been about two years since I used Everlaw intensively, and so this may have been refined, but the proximity search syntax was (if I recall correctly) not the most intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
