Logikcull

Intuitive and Easy to Use

Vorteile:

Logikcull is exactly what our firm needed. We are a small to mid-size firm facing a major document review process with a short time frame. We knew we needed software to assist with the review, but we weren't sure where to begin. Logikcull was the perfect solution. It is extremely intuitive and their support is outstanding.

Nachteile:

The software is great. The only nitpick that I have is that the preview feature in doc review can be a little sluggish at times, but it is hardly an issue.

Logikcull has simplified review and production of documents.

Kommentare: Time efficiency, ease of use

Vorteile:

The functionality and ease of use of Logikcull is a plus for me. I make more efficient use of my time using Logikcull rather than outsourcing document management services.

Nachteile:

I have yet to find a "con" with Logikcull. I find that it makes my job easier and makes more efficient use of my time.

Usually user friendly, but also frustratingly slow.

Vorteile:

The most used features - reviewing, tagging, and simple searches are very easy and user friendly and not a lot of training is necessary to get started reviewing docs.

Nachteile:

it is incredibly slow. Everything loads slowly, it is hard to quickly flip through documents, and the process for downloading is also frustrating. If you want to download a group of documents, some with bates stamps and some without (i.e. a batch with docs we produced and docs that were produced to us), the system refuses to do that, and, at times, it downloads each document into its own separate folder which is a huge pain when trying to quickly download and use a group of documents.

Protect your data and sleep well at night with Logikcull!

Vorteile:

Logikcull is a reliable cloud-based software that will save your company money and prevent a tremendous amount of time being wasted on investigations, disputes, etc. It provides a very secure repository of all your sensitive data as well. The legal team loves it! It saved us a lot of time and money. Sorting through thousands of files online is a breeze.

Nachteile:

The data can certainly add up quickly. Have experienced a freeze before, but believe it was only a one-off.

Great platform!

Kommentare: The help desk is amazing, the support is very friendly and clear, gives you easy enough directions to make the process clear and straight to the point. As well as been very fast with their replies.

Vorteile:

It's very user friendly, the display is very well thought out and make the docs review much more clear and to the point.

Nachteile:

Needs to be more to the point regarding editing documents production, so you don't have to start from zero if you need to add a tag or change some specs of downloads

A brick of a platform

Vorteile:

I like the fact that I am no longer using this platform.

Nachteile:

This is one of the most convoluted document review platform I've ever used. Nothing about it is intuitive. The coding panels are the equivalent of a phone tree, selecting and returning batches is like applying for security clearance, and quality control by the first level reviewer is basically impossible.

Logikcull is very easy to use and invite reviewers and it does a nice job of pulling data.

Vorteile:

I really like that the program is so easy to use even for those less tech savvy. It also has a really nice viewer/browser that makes it very easy to scroll, read and code and cull documents.

Nachteile:

I wish there was a way to break larger pdfs in the program. Obviously there's a tradeoff with bibliographic control but it would be most efficient to be able to load a larger pdf and break it during review than to break it up beforehand.

Had no idea it would be this simple ...

Kommentare: I loaded, translated and reviewed Asian character text with no need to call and complain to anyone.

Vorteile:

My use is geared toward cross border matters and unlike any other tool I have used everything was calibrated toward the Asian character text smoothly displying in no time.

Nachteile:

I be in touch when I find this one ... perhaps I could not pick about some challenges that disappeared by the second time I used it, so I won't.

Lifesaver

Kommentare: Logikcull is an e-discovery lifesaver. I have used other platforms but none were as seemless or detailed as this. With the right training and continued use, this application makes document production and review an absolutely painless process.

Vorteile:

Fast and easy to use. Save search feature is game changer.

Nachteile:

Some of the details can be a little confusing

Absolutely fantastic! Using Logikcull is one of the best decisions our firm has made.

Vorteile:

It is incredibly easy to use and for the few actions I'm unsure about- their customer service is ready to help me out immediately. Logikcull has expedited our discovery review process tenfold.

Logikcull: Fairly good, still needs some work

Kommentare: Logikcull is a web-based document review program, designed for human reviewers to sift through documents (as opposed to the new wave that are extremely automated). Many of the features of the program are fairly standard for this field: It imports documents (in my case, PST files from Outlook), scans them for duplicates, OCRs documents that don't already have machine-readable text, & allows the review manager to run boolean searches on the documents to weed out obviously non-responsive documents, set up tags, & parcel out sets to reviewers who then read through the documents & tag them according to the review protocol. I've used a number of different doc review programs over the course of about a decade, some using locally-installed software, some run through web browsers. Logikcull seems to be well put together & as capable as most. My personal opinion is that automated review software is the way to go in the future (I regret the effect this will have on reviewers' incomes, but reviewing is a terrible job to have to endure, & honestly, software with some human management can probably avoid human errors & reduce the amount of manpower required to produce a good set of documents) so Logikcull isn't where it needs to be. In addition, there are some glitches: You can't review too fast, because you must wait for each tag a reviewer codes to be saved before doing the next one. Tags can be assigned colors, but the colors glitch back to their defaults for no clear reason all the time, making this rather useless. Tags can't be renamed, & organization is frustratingly limited. The interface is attractive (not that anything wouldn't be compared to, say, Kroll) but 'fat' -- It takes up a lot of screen space, & I ultimately had to start using a 40" 4K monitor for comfort. You can't see search term highlighting in the actual document view; it can be accessed, but not conveniently. There is no near-duplicate matching, or assistance in finding single documents that include entire threads to reduce duplicative reviewing. The software doesn't make it easy to see how families & threads are organized, & under some circumstances can become hopelessly fouled up in this regard. If you need to code whole families & threads, it doesn't give you good estimates of project scope. Etc. I have found their support staff to be easily reachable & helpful. They are receptive to feature requests & bug reports, but I haven't noticed any of mine acted upon yet.

Vorteile:

It's run through a web browser, so no need to install special software. The UI is attractive and easy to understand. It seems to be able to cope with large reviews. There are a lot of different criteria which can be used for boolean searching to pare down the documents into a potentially-responsive pool. Most importantly, the support provided by the company is very responsive; I never have a problem getting someone to answer me, usually very quickly. Uptime is good (though scheduled downtime does occur, rather than the system being designed for five nines uptime).

Nachteile:

The most serious problem is that if you try to tag too quickly, Logikcull can fail to save your work, & can fail silently so that you don't know unless you look for it. This arises when you want to tag a document with more than one tag & check the second tag before the first one has indicated that it has finished saving (which takes a second). This is not good for fast reviewers, as it slows their pace to that of the software's ability to save. Other issues: * You can't rename tags after they are created, & cannot reorganize them at will * No identification of near-duplicates * Boolean searching could be refined in several ways. I appreciate the highly granular options, but I would like some less-granular ones too, like whether an e-mail address appears in any e-mail address field. Also, the ability to use a mixture of handwritten searches and assisted searches using forms (right now the form wipes out the handwritten search). * Live filters on search results cannot be frozen; If you do a search, & then filter out tagged documents, tagging one of those will knock it out of the filtered results immediately, making this unhelpful for resuming partially completed sets. * Poor handling of threads and families: Can only view one family in one thread at a time, no combined hierarchical view, serious problems if an e-mail has another e-mail as an attachment. (Thanks, Outlook!) * Tag custom colors glitch; also not many options * Very limited names, re: symbols, length

Very Good Option for Hosted E-Discovery Solution

Kommentare: This software has a very approachable user interface with a clean, modern look and substantial power on the back end to handle e-discovery projects. It is all browser based and works by providing search results in batches that can be filtered, coded and tagged, including by family structure. I had no problems in accessing the program and it is secure because it is in the cloud. It works well even just doing simple searches, but once you learn more about how to find and manage the results, its power and ability to speed up projects can really shine. It can handle complex searches and uses filters effectively to speed up the process for lawyers or reviewers. The speed is very good and it processes searches quickly. It can use an unlimited number of tags which can be very helpful, but will require protocols for a case with lots of people involved. The production process is fast and fairly simple and creates load files for all the major platforms although some additional output options would be nice if you have complex output requirements. I would like to see additional options regarding processing of privileged material so that you choose to Bates number it, but then not produce it. The initial indexing occurs fairly quickly although unusual file types can sometimes slow it down, but had over 60GB processed and ready in less than 24 hours. The staff is very knowledgeable and responsive, which is helpful, especially at the beginning of using the product. The product is priced to compete well with vendors for serious projects and can easily handle small projects. One issue that can arise, as is true in any per-GB solution, is to try to eliminate useless files before upload so they don't count against your data limits. In addition to the namesake ability to "cull" non-responsive materials (which means they don't show up in later searches), the Company is adding the ability to remove unwanted data which will reduce the storage needed on projects. This is a very competitive e-discovery platform and I would recommend taking a look to see if it is the right fit. It is geared towards firms that will have a number of e-discovery projects (even though it could be used for one off projects) and its benefits will only grow as the users become more proficient with it. It has a base monthly charge, which you can likely pass through, but the advantage is that you can cut out processing costs from e-discovery vendors.

Conducting a privilege review has never been easier

Kommentare: We recently had a case where we needed to conduct a privilege review of emails related to our client. Logikcull was the perfect choice for several reasons. 1. We were able to upload the emails and begin reviewing within minutes. We did not need to wait to talk to a project manager or anyone else from Logikcull before we began our project. 2. Logikcull's "Potentially Privilege" QC tag identified many of the emails we were looking for before we even began our review. 3. Other privileged communications were easily identified in bulk using the "Email From Domain" and "Email To Domain" categories. 4. The reviewing attorney is not a "power user" of other document review tools, but was still able to begin his review without having any training sessions with Logikcull. 5. The pricing was simple and straightforward (although I wish it was based on compressed data uploaded, rather than expanded data hosted after processing). 6. We contacted the "Help Desk" with a few technical questions, and we received a response within seconds by using the "Conversations" feature (which opens a chat dialogue). The answers to the questions were saved and were available for reference later during the review. One feature that I wish was more developed in the privilege review context is the ability to generate a privilege log after flagging the privileged documents. While a privilege log can be generated using the "Export to CSV" feature, it would be nice if there was a separate button or option that walked the user through the process of creating a customized privilege log prior to downloading the file. Full disclosure: I consider many of the Logikcull team members to be my friends, but one of the reasons I like them is that they are all passionate about their product and providing excellent service to their customers. They are also passionate about educating people on a grassroots level, and they recently sponsored and participated in an event for the ACEDS Jacksonville Chapter (of which I am the President) where we discussed the "Processing" stage of the EDRM.

Logikcull in a Nutshell

Kommentare: I have had a great experience using Logikcull and we continue using it here at the firm. The support team is incredibly helpful and I have taken several trainings that got my knowledge up to where it is today.

Vorteile:

What I like most about Logikcull is how you can Bates number your own documents without needing tech support to apply these numbers to your pages. Uploading documents is incredibly easy and makes Logikcull an easy platform to learn how to do eDiscovery. The CSV Reports make it incredibly easy to find documents once they have been downloaded and reviewed. And Logikcull makes it very easy to produce documents to opposing counsel, etc. through the program.

Nachteile:

I wish it was easier to work with the documents for Trial Exhibit production. Logikcull is great for discovery production, but I found it difficult when it came to creating Exhibits for Trial. Also once the documents are downloaded, I wish there was a way to view all the downloaded documents in one PDF instead of searching through the various folders.

When you need a good ESI platform

Kommentare: My overall experience has been good. I tested out the usability and functionality of the Logikull platform, and I was surprised at the ease of use.

Vorteile:

I like the pricing plus the updated features that were added to logikull with regard to review , analytics, legal hold and productions

Nachteile:

I think adding better capabilities to view apple documents would be a huge benefit for logikull. More and more people are using devices from apple.

Great interface. Quickly kull through various email, storage, messaging data to get the info fast

Vorteile:

I loved how easily it pulls relevant data from Slack, G Suite, Dropbox, etc. Generates searchable fields and metadata on the fly and quickly got us the information we needed. Very intuitive and minimal training was needed. Great pricing as well.

Nachteile:

There wasn't anything that I could think of.

A Useful Tool

Kommentare: I'm still learning how to use this tool, so I don' t feel like I have an expert level opinion just yet. What I have used this for is organizing some small scale document productions. At this point I'm more excited about the potential of the tool than anything. The search and tagging options are numerous and flexible and have been useful with what I've used them for. In particular, the ability to review and organize large numbers of emails is very helpful. I'm actually kind of looking forward to using this for a larger production to see what it can do because the early returns have been promising. I marked 3/5 on Value because there was no NA option. I'm a paralegal who uses this tool, I don't pay for the license. I do believe it is a time saver compared to our last production system.

Vorteile:

The search function is very flexible. I like having tags. Our office was doing review and production of documents manually before we started using this product, so it's definitely a huge upgrade over that. I'm not actually all that familiar with the other features. Despite that, it has been relatively easy to use so far.

Nachteile:

I don't feel like I'm familiar enough with it to have encountered issues yet. As I learn it, I may find something.

Logikcull is a robust user friendly e-discovery tool to manage document volume and finite details.

Kommentare: Document management balanced with finite details and opportunities for annotations with notes.

Vorteile:

Logikcull's upload process allows users to name the uploads, thereby creating opportunities for naming conventions and other important information while the file name remains intact. Logikcull's notes that appear in the Document Info pane also allow users another opportunity to input important information about a file that may not be suitable for capture in the upload process (such as document legibility). Both the upload description and notes are important features that can eliminate confusion when tracking litigation hold requests and responses from multiple custodians or other document monitoring associated with litigation. Logikcull's customer service chat feature is outstanding and the support team members respond immediately to inquiries. The customer service chat feature is a definite plus for Logikcull users.

Nachteile:

Logikcull OCRs documents but in the process the pages that should appear in landscape orientation are not rotated.

The premier document management software available.

Vorteile:

There is no lagtime when using Logikcull. It allows you to tag, search, collate and srank documents easily.

Nachteile:

The color palette used in tagging documents seem too similar to me. Highlighted words should match the tag which reference the highlight.

The absolute best litigation software

Kommentare: Reduced the time and errors incurred in the discovery process.

Vorteile:

This platform is the most comprehensive, intuitive, and user friendly litigation software out there. It's so easy to use even an attorney can use it! The ability to tag another user in a comment and that comment is then emailed to the user with a link to the document is the most ingenious feature of this software.

Nachteile:

I have had a few server issues where the network was unable to create a new tag. Those times have been far and few between. For the price of this service, our firm would put up with much worse.

Logikcull is the easiest document management program I have used

Kommentare: I will likely never use another document management software program.

Vorteile:

Logikcull make uploading and document review so easy. I have used other programs that required user intervention to match meta-data fields during upload. I can't say enough about the automation of the upload process. The search, review and tagging process is also so much easier.

Nachteile:

The learning curve on preparing a production/download took some time, but their customer service is always right there to help.

Great collaboration, amazing support

Kommentare: I haven't found Logikcull to be the most intuitive e-discovery software, but it has the absolute best customer support. The program itself if very robust, lots of features and is great collaboration tool. My team loves the ability to log in from any computer, I love that I can customize for our projects. What brings my team and I back to Logikcull is it's support. They respond quickly, aren't condescending (hugely helpful with non-tech savvy personnel) and know their stuff. Nothing more frustrating that being up against a deadline and unable to get assistance, or that assistance being unhelpful. Logikcull is constantly evolving, adding more features and really catering to it's clientele. Great program, highly recommend.

Vorteile:

Great collaboration, features and accessibility.

Nachteile:

Can be confusing to run productions for first timers.

Great alternative to Relativity and other traditional e-discovery options

Kommentare: Fast and easy review platform that is less expensive than traditional options.

Vorteile:

I like the simplicity, the customer support, and the pricing. I also appreciate how files and folders can easily be uploaded instead of having to send a flash drive. The

Nachteile:

While I like the fact that pricing is high, this pricing is not as "predicatable" as one might think. It is still more predictable than most ediscovery options. However, the size of the data (and thus the price) is calculated AFTER processing by Logikcull. It is impossible to know exactly how much you will pay until you upload your data and the post-processing size is computed.

We have just started using this platform for review in a commercial construction case.

Vorteile:

What I like the most about this software is the ease of use for attorneys and paralegals and the ability to load, review, and produce information and data directly without significant additional hourly processing fees. Sending production links directly from the software is also very helpful because it eliminates the need to create a separate file link or FTP transfer.

Nachteile:

Again, while my experience to date is somewhat limited, I would like to see the ability to have a separate viewer on another display in order to make document review a bit more efficient.

Great Doc Review Software

Kommentare: Logikcull streamlines document review in a revolutionary way.

Vorteile:

Logikcull made reviewing, sorting, and organizing voluminous documents very easy. The best part is it recognizes text in PDFs and other documents without a conversion process, and you can search these documents with ease to find key words or phrases you are looking for. Great product!

Nachteile:

Since this is a web-based document review, there was some lag time in opening each document as I sifted through them. It is unclear whether this was an issue on my end or the product's.
