"Used to examine emails and files during internal investigations and external if necessary"

4/5

What do you like best about Gimmal Discover?

Once you figure out the bolean scripting, it works well. And one of the nice things...though it is a little slow, you can let it zoom along over the network and it never fails. Plus, you can mark which results are really important and which are false positives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gimmal Discover?

Could be a little zippier, and I've seen a few with better interfaces and search engines, especially considering user files....but I've noticed they are quite a bit more expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Gimmal Discover:

I would. It seems to work well and we keep re-upping our support so until something comes out with a bunch of high end features I don't see us moving away from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gimmal Discover solving and how is that benefiting you?

It was purchased for our legal department to use and it took a load of me. I was the person doing all the research at the time. So, it solved 2 problems, I didn't see legal documentation or investigative documents (I'm an it guy) and those documents stayed with the legal department where they should. AND, it freed me up to do other work. For the legal department, they are able to right the boulean scrips and pick what they want to see and cut through it faster than what I was giving them. Purchasing this software has made out time much more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Really delves deep but learning curve is steep"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Gimmal Discover?

I like that you can create complex searches and save those searches as templates for future searches. It's an asset for FOIA requests that tend to cover the same ground.

The fact that is can search live data as well as Exchange and users' PST files is a definite checkmark in its favor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gimmal Discover?

I dislike how long it took to learn the software. While Discovery Attender is thorough and is definitely an asset, the learning curve is fairly steep. Don't expect to jump in and hit the ground running. You will have to dedicate the time to truly learn the ins and outs of this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Gimmal Discover:

I recommend taking the time to truly familiarize yourself with all the program's capabilities. It can initially seem overwhelming, but through training and utilizing customer support, you can become proficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gimmal Discover solving and how is that benefiting you?

We primarily use it to fulfill litigation and FOIA requests. The benefits we have realized include being able to create and save templates for common searches/requests. This saves us time and money in the overall scheme of our daily business requests and tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We lean on Discovery Attender"

5/5

What do you like best about Gimmal Discover?

Discovery Attender is extremely flexible, and has uses outside ediscovery, as well. It has the best-designed search builder I have come across in ten years of work in this field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gimmal Discover?

The reporting could be improved, and I would love to see DA extract more metadata for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Gimmal Discover:

This is the Swiss Army knife of ediscovery tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gimmal Discover solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Discovery Attender for initial searching of PSTs and Lotus databases, as well as files. It has proved useful in searching beyond ediscovery needs, as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It is a very good pre-processing eDiscovery tool."

4/5

What do you like best about Gimmal Discover?

Discovery Attender will convert just about any email archive or message. I have used it to covert NSF, PST, MSG's or EMLs. I have never had a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gimmal Discover?

The only thing I don't like about the product is keeping a history of global de-duplication. If have to keep processing the Master email set to continue de-duping on a global level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product for collecting email from Exchange"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Gimmal Discover?

Detailed criteria allow you to drill down and get very specific about what you are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gimmal Discover?

Reviewing search results within the tool is fairly clunky. You are better off exporting the results and reviewing them in another tool. There is no ability to search across the enterprise; you have to specify which mailboxes to search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Gimmal Discover:

Be aware that collection from O365 mailboxes will be SLOW. This is not a limitation of the tool, just a product of the architecture that forces all email to be pulled from the cloud before it can be searched. Would love to see Microsoft open the cloud search API so other tools could run searches in O365 before pulling results down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gimmal Discover solving and how is that benefiting you?

The need to collect email in native form for Legal and Compliance review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
