Document Review & Management

What practitioners struggle with

Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems CloudNine addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.

eDiscovery costs are insane — traditional vendors charge per-GB processing fees that can hit $100K+ for a single matter, making it economically impossible for small-to-mid firms to run proper discovery

Document Review & Management 55 vendors affected Small firm (2–10) · Mid-size firm (11–50) · In-house counsel · Large firm (51–200)

eDiscovery tools require a dedicated specialist to operate — Relativity needs an admin, but most small/mid litigation teams don't have one and need something a paralegal can use after a 30-minute demo

Document Review & Management 30 vendors affected Small firm (2–10) · Mid-size firm (11–50) · Large firm (51–200) · In-house counsel

500K documents to review, contract attorneys burning out after 4 hours of screen-staring, nobody knows if the review is consistent across 20 reviewers — and the partner watching the budget bleed

Document Review & Management 62 vendors affected Mid-size firm (11–50) · Large firm (51–200) · In-house counsel · Government
