This means we will be more likely to return to the platform for future matters. **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** Sometimes it can feel tricky to use when it comes to running search terms in comparison to competitor software. We came across a number of login issues for users who did not go to sign in straight away. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** The key issue we had on two matters which led us to develop our relationship with Consilio was cost. The offer Consilio had on Sightline for a free 50GB was a real saviour! ### 5. intuitive, great user performance. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 04, 2024 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** easy to use, accessible, no spam content. **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** Great for corporates however not so much for individual use. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** Efficiently handles workflows with useful integrated ools for data then quickly identify and package actionable facts. ### 6.

It’s a great product for digitizing data and being able to search it **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 12, 2024 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** There are extensive search features to find information within emails and documents Having everything in one place makes it an easy user experience **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** You need training to understand how to use it well.

Great platform **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Fairalee C. | Trial Paralegal, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2023 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** search options, production compilations, tagging documents **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** The number of features are less than competing vendors **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tagging voluminous document productions. ### 9. A product that is will be part of the future of legal depts, but still has some streamlining to do. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Daniel C. | Head of e-Discovery and forensics, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 27, 2022 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** Sightline is great for smaller productions. When I have a smaller production that I want to turn around quickly Sightline is perfect. Ideally, the production will not have any redactions or unusual extra steps. **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** I find the interface to be unintuitive for mainstream use. The learning curve is steeper then I would like for a product of this nature. I also find it has bugs that pop up 25% of the time. Luckily the COnsilio staff has been helpful in troubleshooting any issues. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is solving the issue when an attorney waits until the last second and wants to get a production out the same day. Going through the usual matter, database setup, FTP, ingesting, files made available, and then production of them is much more inefficient than uploading to sightline and producing right then and there. ### 10. Efficient and inexpensive platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2023 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** I like the cost savings for the client and the ability to handle things myself. **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** It takes some time to get used to but I'm figuring it out. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** It keeps costs down for the client and lets me get the job done without needless complications and expense. ### 11. Decent document hosting and review solution - could be more intuitive **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 27, 2022 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** I like that it's self-service, and once a team member gets a good grasp of all the ins and outs, it's a decent substitute for a full-service review platform. It's also really affordable, which my clients appreciate. **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** The platform is not very intuitive and requires a lot of training for any team members who are added in and out of a case team to be able to fully utilize its features. the Consilio help page is also full of videos, which are time-consuming to watch. I wish, for example, there was an option to download directly from document review pages the bates-stamped PDF versions of documents, instead of having to create a batch print. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** inexpensive document hosting platform. ### 12.

It's a great database. Since Sightline puts the control more in the hands of paralegals and attorneys I'd like to see more manuals for troubleshooting, answering questions about how to do things especially from the admin side. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sightline puts the database more in the control of the attorneys and paralegals, which we prefer on certain matters. In addition, the set per GB pricing allows us to create a more specific estimate for the client of monthly costs. ### 13.

If the consumer is having issues this can become a hinderance. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sightline helps me work more efficiently by reduce the risk of errors, and save time and resources. The advanced analytics tools helps to quickly identify key documents and evidence. ### 14.

Makes me more efficient with time and productivity. ### 16. eDiscovery document review (33,000 documents) **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ilana M. K. | Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 29, 2021 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** The platform made it easy to sort through a large amount of documents and tag them. **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** I felt that it was complicated for me (the user) to sort/search documents myself.

I would like to be able to organize the documents myself, such as sort them by date, etc. I realized after the fact that the documents were not organized chronologically when produced. When reviewing the documents, it's hard to tell how it's organized and whether there will be an opportunity to organize the documents before production. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** I did not have any problems, other than I realized after the fact that the documents were not organized chronologically when produced.

No dislikes currently! **Recommendations to others considering Sightline by Consilio:** It reduced internal review time, costs and was easy to use.

Helpful customer service team but not immediately intuitive platform to use. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2021 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** I like the fact the customer service team are on hand to provide support and they have helpful 'how to' videos as well. **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** I dislike the number of steps it takes to perform various actions - for instance, to search a document, there are quite a few separate steps required to undertake this seemingly simple process and it can be difficult to introduce new team members to the platform for this reason. **Recommendations to others considering Sightline by Consilio:** In order to get the most out of Sightline, I would encourage other users to think about the information outputs they would like, so that they input the information into Sightline in an appropriate way that leads to the desired outcomes. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to text search a huge number of documents and also 'code' information by reference to categories in our coding form. ### 19.

Sightline Rocks! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Crysti T. | Senior Administrative Assistant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 10, 2021 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** The more I learn about Sightline, the more I enjoy using it. I love the fact that Sightline automatically images and OCR's the documents as I load them into their dataset. This was an extra tedious step that I had to do when using SummPro and sometimes it would take hours just to complete this step but Sightline does this automatically. I absolutely love the drag and drop feature when creating the datasets. **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** Since I have really learned how to work Sightline, I haven't really found anything that I don't like about it. **Recommendations to others considering Sightline by Consilio:** Once you learn how to use Sightline, you will not want to use any other document production software. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm not really having any problems with Sightline now.

The workflows make perfect sense and, despite the platform being straightforward to use, it is also capable of performing complex queries and being scaled-up easily. **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** There is a bit of a learning curve, but half a day's training should be enough for most. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** Large amounts of data relating to DSARs can be ingested and dealt with very swiftly.

Sightline has significantly improved our review time. **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** We had some technology glitches starting projects. We also do not like the fact that we ourselves cannot delete projects. We have to send an email and prepare a list of projects that are to be deleted. We'd like more control with deletion rights. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using Sightline to reconcile our document productions in response to subpoenas. We are also using Sightline for document review in response to discovery requests. ### 23.

It allowed me to tailor my tags, searches and review to suit my clients individual needs. **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** It can sometimes be challenging to narrow down the searches, however, further training did assist in this regard. Furthermore, the team at Consilio have responded to all of my feedback in a positive way. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** Discovery projects and Subject Access Requests This has allowed me to provide cost-effective solutions for clients in a range of matters. Batch redaction and production. Smaller discovery projects are often unsuited to ediscovery, however, it is easier to scale costs with self service platforms. ### 24. A great option for document review **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2021 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** It's great to have the option of a self-service option, with reduced costs to use on appropriate cases and with good training and support. The platform seems to be intuitive and easy to use. **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** There have been some teething problems on a couple of cases. There is always a learning curve with new products and there is an element of that here to make sure fee earners understand how to use it and to ensure they get the best out of it. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** There seems to be a cost and time-savin as against larger reviews where PM teams are required. ### 25. More Control in Sightline **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Barry S. | Practice Support Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2021 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** Sightline allows me to import and process data and shows me the progress of the processing and outcome. **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** The ability to add new data to existing datasets with the same custodian/source. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can resolve processing issues without assistance from Support, but I know Support is always available. ### 26. Great functionality **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2021 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** This software is extremely fast at indexing through thousands of documents at once to pinpoint even a single use of the word. And the SQL functionality to filter based on specific commands is very helpful. **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** Many documents are too large to view. I am not sure what the maximum file size is, but the pdf viewer generally will not load any PDFs that are larger than 30 pages for me. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to swiftly find relevant information for testimonies. ### 27. Internal Privilege Review **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2021 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** The self processing and being able to run my own exports, it helps speed up the whole process. Costumer service has been great! **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** There is some lag time with loading, and searching is a little clunky. **Recommendations to others considering Sightline by Consilio:** It's great tool, with great support from the Sightline team. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** The cost is great when compared to Relativity, also not having to wait to get documents loaded allows review to happen quickly. ### 28. It did the job eventually, but there were some bugs **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2021 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** The cost was lower than it would have been if we had used Relativity. I liked that the tagging boxes could be moved around so that you didn't have to scroll to the bottom of the page every time you wanted to click "relevant". It was also much easier to log in that I have found on other platforms (i.e. there is no second, third and fourth level requirement for security. I understand this is sometimes necessary for top secret matters but not always) **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** I found it very difficult to run searches myself because the coding infrastructure was too complicated. I understand that this is "one of those things" that comes with searching in eDiscovery but I think it could have been made easier and more user friendly for those who are not very techy. We ended up spending many hours on the phone to the IT support team to get trained on how to run searches and I think a better use of time would have been actually reviewing and coding the documents. **Recommendations to others considering Sightline by Consilio:** This software is good for small cases where clients have tight budgets. It also works well if you are technologically capable and understand that you will be doing a lot of the work in the portal by yourself. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** The deduplication feature seemed to work well and this significantly decreased the length of time we were spending on reviewing unnecessary documents. I also found that having a sensible pricing structure avoided our client from becoming confused or overwhelmed by costs it did not understand. ### 29. Powerful platform but not very intuitive **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 17, 2021 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** I like that it is full service and I can do everything myself, instead of having to wait for others to upload documents, prepare productions, etc. **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** I don't think the platform is very intuitive. I wish we could delete documents sets that have been incorrectly loaded, or at least rename them. I also wish there was a better filtering option in doc list. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** Speed of getting the production done and being able to do things on my own time instead of having to wait. ### 30. Receptive staff, excellent software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2021 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** The customizeable, intuitive technology. The customer care is also excellent and the sightline staff are responsive (even for very urgent projects and on weekends!) They really do go above and beyond. **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** The costs which can sometimes spiral - that being said I understand that it is difficult to stick to fee estimates when the size of the task at hand is unclear in the first instance. **Recommendations to others considering Sightline by Consilio:** Definitely a good one to try and better than anything else that I have seen on the market. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to complete disclosure and document review tasks quickly and more efficiently with the software. We can also easily redact documents and set up numerous tiers of reviwers to ensure that we do not compromise on quality and accuracy. ### 31.

User friendly with some good features. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2021 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** The coloured programable tags . When reviewing, they allow for a more efficient review which isn't limited to "copy from previous". **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** Only being able to draw down a limited number of documents at a time for review. I can see that if you are completing your review with others, you might prefer to take a set of more than can be taken in order to ensure that, for example, a specific period of time is limited to one reviewer. **Recommendations to others considering Sightline by Consilio:** Make use of the online learning available in video form early on as it represents a cost-effective solution for most learning needs. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** A cost effective solution for a small disclosure exercise, which ordinarily would have been completed on Relativty instead of Sigtline. ### 33. Excellent Experience Using Sightline **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Debbie E. | Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2021 **What do you like best about Sightline by Consilio?** Ease of Use, Adaptability, streamlines workload within project **What do you dislike about Sightline by Consilio?** I don't have any system dislikes, i have found it very good. **Recommendations to others considering Sightline by Consilio:** Ensure you have considered everything you need from the system at set up stage as this will ensure your project hits the ground running from day 1. **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are reviewing Data inline with GDPR regulations. It has made the process quicker and easier than a manual review. ### 34. A very capable and efficient self-administered eDiscovery tool.

It would also have been useful to be able to load the document reviewer in another window without affecting the document reviewer already loaded (or at least to have been warned about the fact it would mean coding in the original window wouldn't be saved). **What problems is Sightline by Consilio solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having a platform to easily review, tag, and organise lots of documents was great. ### 40.
