The ability to quickly and effectively review and make notes about documents that we have received in discovery.

Currently use Nextpoint only for its document production and review capabilities (not for managing trial presentations or trial notebooks). Have used many of its competitors and have good knowledge about running large document production cases. Nextpoint has found a good sweet spot between providing good functionality and ease of use. I have used some software products that are extremely easy to use, but do not have the ability to do much custom formatting or dealing with document productions that do not fit within their specific ways of doing things. This is especially important to me dealing with IP cases, where the document productions can often deal with odd file formats or productions from non-standard systems. While Nextpoint does have some limitations on things it can do, I never ran into any issues that I couldn't overcome and with less time than it would take to run a much more complex document production system. I am managing a boutique firm that isn't dealing with terabytes of data (all of my productions and reviews tend to be a few gigabytes or less of potentially responsive documents). Once you get a feel for how things are done on Nextpoint, it is very low maintance and can be easily managed by a skilled paralegal.

We've been using Nextpoint on a quotidian basis for more than four years now. It's very easy to train new users on and offers powerful functionality for a more modest price than more monolithic solutions aimed at monolothic institutions. The ability to upload as much data as we care to has been extremely helpful for as long as we've used this product.
