What do you like best about Exterro E-Discovery?

I used Zapproved's Legal Hold Pro to manage litigation holds. This tool is user friendly and has many great features that work well for me and my organization. We strongly value the option to remind custodians that their responses have not been received as well as the quarterly updates that a particular hold is still in place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Exterro E-Discovery?

There are features I would like to see that LHP doesn't have as yet. However, Zapproved is constantly updating and improving the tool. I don't like that when a user edits a hold the sender is automatically changed to the person that made the edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Exterro E-Discovery:

Definitely recommend. Our transition to this software was smooth and both users and recipients love it. In particular, recipients like that they can see all of their litigation holds in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Exterro E-Discovery solving and how is that benefiting you?

Defensible litigation hold management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Exterro E-Discovery?

Since much of the platform is integrated with other features/components, that's rather nice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Exterro E-Discovery?

The firm has made a number of acquisitions and is still working through the growth issues of trying to integrate multiple platforms and teams of experts. Exterro needs to be visually and in every way integrated with a single story rather than independent pieces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Exterro E-Discovery:

Work with your consulting professionals for views on the best implementation choices and assistance with full utilization of the overall platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Exterro E-Discovery solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a partner, we're trying to solve problems for our clients by expressing that there are fewer throats to choke when things go wrong. Clients can get more for their dollar with a single vendor solution and allow an advisory/consulting services firm like FTI to assist in utilizing the product to its fullest extent.

Excellent customer support and attentiveness to their customer's needs. The web UI is also very intuitive and easy to use. My customers love it compared to encase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Exterro E-Discovery?

The licensing model of Exterior FTK is high. It isn't cost effective to add individual seats to a contract. I know they are working on it, but better API documentation and plugins INTO FTK. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Exterro E-Discovery solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our company uses ZPA Zero Trust networking model. Our current tool doesn't work with the Zero Trust model and therefore we needed to find a tool that does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Exterro E-Discovery?

The options for automated reminders, reporting, and escalations are very helpful. There are a number of features which make this tool very useful for the purposes we use it for. Enhancements would further improve this for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Exterro E-Discovery?

The formatting abilities for the messaging features is lacking; having the ability to create quality HTML messages to recipients which look professional are critical in this day and age. It is also frustrating to not have the ability to select a delivery time for future messages. Message delivery time can greatly impact the open rate and interaction of the recipient with that message, so having no control over what time the message is sent from Exterro is frustrating. Customizing the messages for our business is important given our internal security and training in spotting Phishing and spam email content. It would also be helpful if Exterro had features to track if messages had been opened, the way that other email delivery tools are able to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Exterro E-Discovery solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use this for delivery of HR policy acknowledgement, to demonstrate that employees have received and acknowledged our policies throughout specific intervals. While it meets the basic needs, it is lacking in some very important areas which increasingly make it less practical for us to continue using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
