I really depend on this tool for my e-discoveries of pst files. No other tool I’ve seen can get as granular when used against this data. I can also export this data in a variety of formats based on how it is requested. It is very legal-friendly.

Pros

This software allows me to do very detailed and complex searches of email stored in exchange or in pst files, and of other digital files.

Cons

It is slower than other tools, although this is based primarily on the server I run it from.

We are solving the time it takes to respond to eDiscovery requests.

Pros

As a municipality, we are subject to open record laws. We love the ease of the program that we can search across our O365 mailboxes and our file servers to come up with a consolidated resource for reviewing and providing the records. Before it was using the clunky Microsoft eDiscovery tool and manual searches of file servers. This tool has made the turnaround a fraction of the time related to these requests.

Cons

There is really nothing I don't like about the software. It has made my job easier.

Pros

Sherpa is great because it offers powerful ediscovery tools in a usable package. I find it's a great tool for professionals who are not necessarily every day ediscovery practitioners, like myself.

Cons

The UI is a bit dated and difficult to wrap one's head around at first. However, this is mostly due to the range of options the software offers and the flexibility of the tool.

Discovery Attender definitely filled our need for the ability to streamline our email discovery process. Too much time was being spent on manual searches and there is too much room for error that way. The tool is easy to use and intuitive. Very glad we were able to implement it.

Pros

Discovery Attender has taken a process which would span over the course of several days of manual searches of multiple email boxes and made it so that the same searches are now automated and take only hours to be completed and exported including indexing and reporting of what was exported and which keywords were used to run the export along with timestamps. This allows for a much more timely delivery to the legal department and allows us to meet the strict timelines required during investigations.

Cons

The interface is a bit dated, but the functionality is there.

Overall, I have become very comfortable using DA. This has become my goto package for most searches I need to perform.

Pros

Discovery Attender was an invaluable resource during a big document discovery project. I was very beneficial to search multiple data stores including the file system and email pst files in one search. The flexibility of the keyword listing was very nice as well as the other criteria that you can specify. Perhaps one of the biggest pluses was the support I received when first starting up. Executive provided me some orientation training and was there to help with any questions I had using it for the first time. I have used the project since then for discovery projects as well as searches requested by my users.

Cons

The only "con" I had was this was not a product to install and then just start using it. Initially it seemed like it was fairly complex. Once I had the orientation training and was able to ask a few questions, it was very easy to use.

I have been using Discovery Attendar for 4-5 years now. Its fairly easy to use and light weight enough to run on a desktop and search 50,000 + emails. Works very will with email stored in .pst files. Other email file types may need help from tech support but they have been responsive in writing patches when needed.

Pros

Ease of use.

Cons

Can't open every email, but can over 99% of them.
