### "Best way to use Relativity on a small project"

March 15, 2022

5.0

We use it mainly for fast-burn ECA reviews and small projects that only require a quick email review.

Pros

Fast and easy setup, DIY for everything but with a fantastic, responsive support team available to handle anything out of our comfort zone. Ability to do nearly any admin task ourselves is key.

Cons

No complaints or issues, and any time we have any issues or questions, the Spectra support team always has a quick and good answer.

Reason for choosing Lighthouse Spectra

Self-administration and cost for smaller projects (which, if and when they become large projects, are easily migrated to full service).

### "Lighthouse Spectra is Critical to our Litigation Operations"

August 10, 2022

5.0

The support team has made my overall experience with Lighthouse Spectra better than I ever could have imagined. They are fast to respond, and help me solve problems as they arise even with a tight deadline. The support team are extremely kind and are one of the primary reasons my firm will stick with Lighthouse Spectra.

Pros

Lighthouse Spectra makes our litigation and eDiscovery work so much easier. The interface is slick and easy to process documents into Relativity. It allows my small firm to go toe-to-toe against much larger firms.

Cons

It is an extremely complex application. There is a steep learning curve and it can be challenging to learn as your going.

### "New to Lighthouse Spectra and Relativity"

June 22, 2022

4.0

Overall Lighthouse Spectra is very good. Customer service has been excellent and I like the ability to easily upload productions myself

Pros

I like the keyword search capabilities, the save search feature, including editing and copying saved searches, and ease to batch export documents to PDF

Cons

Unlike concordance, where the metadata and extracted text could be seen along with the list of documents that responded to a search or tag, one must click on and enter each document to see the metadata and text. Also, search history is not easily available

### "Spectra Review"

August 10, 2022

4.0

Pros

The product requires zero infrastructure investment from our firm. The ability to get up and running quickly on any matter is beneficial. The customer support team is top-notch and shows that they truly want to help the client.

Cons

I would like a billing module built in to the software so that it doesn't require interaction with the Lighthouse team each month. The import/export feature needs to be fine tuned to handle larger exports more efficiently.

Reason for choosing Lighthouse Spectra

We were excited to be involved in the early stages and development of the software. Many things that were requested to be included by our firm are now important parts of the software.

### "Brett Roman (Goulston Review)"

April 12, 2022

5.0

Working with the forensics team has been incredibly helpful to learn more about the collection from particular data sources. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] was tremendously helpful with that request and guiding us along the way. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] has been tremendously helpful in providing production support. That's a few names to acknowledge along the list of employees who we interact with daily that have been incredibly helpful in educating, problem solving, troubleshooting and in general great working relationships with employees from Lighthouse Spectra.

Pros

Easy to integrate and use independently, but also have a great team of PM's on the full service side that are great to work with and make our lives easier to handle multiple requests at the same time.

Cons

I currently do not have any issues with the software that are noteworthy at this time.

Reason for choosing Lighthouse Spectra

Price point and easy interface regarding management of discovery on backend and frontend for attorney use.

### "Excellent Product for eDiscovery!"

March 24, 2022

5.0

If we hit a bump in the road, Lighthouse is fabulous as far as getting us through the bumps. They quickly step in and help.

Pros

Once you learn the software, it will definitely do the job of helping you with your eDiscovery needs.

Cons

Similar to any document review platform, it takes a while to learn the process but way easier than some of the other software I have used, like Summation.

### "Review of Lighthouse Spectra"

April 25, 2022

5.0

We have had a great experience with Lighthouse Spectra. The customer service provided by Lighthouse is fantastic. They are very responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable about their products. Use of this product has saved us an enormous amount of time and has increased our accuracy in reviewing documents.

Pros

It allows us to quickly review large volumes of electronic documents for documents that are responsive to eDiscovery or Public Records Act requests.

Cons

I'm not familiar enough with features that could be used in this type of software to identify what might be missing or more useful with Lighthouse Spectra.

### "Great platform, but a steep learning curve if you're starting from zero"

August 17, 2022

5.0

Great. I actually do like working in Relativity.

Pros

The tech support is very good. They are very responsive and patient. I appreciate that they'll set up video calls to help explain and work through issues. There is a steep learning curve if you're starting from zero, but it all does start to make sense once more familiarity is established.

Cons

Maybe an undo button and integration with Slack.

Reason for choosing Lighthouse Spectra

The ability to produce documents on our own.

### "Lighthouse Spectra "

July 1, 2022

4.0

My overall experience with Lighthouse Spectra was positive.

Pros

Being able to search documents and produce documents according to the parameters I set.

Cons

I have difficulty deduplicating emails, even after applying Brainspace. Building a search also could be easier.
