RADICATI MARKET QUADRANTS EXPLAINED Radicati Market Quadrants are designed to illustrate how individual vendors fit within specific technology markets at any given point in time. All Radicati Market Quadrants are composed of four sections, as shown in the example quadrant (Figure 1). 1. Specialists This group is made up of two types of companies: a. Emerging players that are still very new to the industry and have not yet built up much of an installed base. These companies are still developing their strategy and technology. b. Established vendors that offer a niche product. 2. Trail Blazers These vendors offer cutting edge technology, but have not yet built up a large customer base. With effective marketing and better awareness, these companies hold the power to dethrone the current market leaders. Trail blazers often shape the future of technology with their innovations and new product designs. 3. Top Players These are the current leaders of the market, with products that have built up large customer bases. Vendors do not become top players overnight. Most of the companies in this quadrant were first specialists or trail blazers (some were both). As companies reach this stage, they must fight complacency and continue product innovation, or else they will be replaced by the next generation of trail blazers. 4. Mature Player These vendors have large, mature installed bases of customers, but no longer set the pace for the rest of the industry. These vendors are no longer considered movers and shakers as they once were. a. In some cases, this is by design. If a vendor has made a strategic decision to move in a new direction, it may slow development on one product line and start another. Copyright November 2014 The Radicati Group, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 3
b. In other cases, a vendor may simply become complacent as a top vendor and be out-developed by hungrier trail blazers and other top players. c. Companies in this stage either find new life and revive their R&D, moving back into the top players segment, or else they slowly fade away as legacy technology. Figure 1, below, shows a sample Radicati Market Quadrant. As a vendor continues to develop its product, it will move horizontally along the x axis. As market share changes, vendors move vertically along the y axis. It is common for vendors to move between quadrants over the life of a product, as their products improve and market requirements evolve. High Mature Players Radicati Market Quadrant Company Z Top Players Company L Market Share Company Y Company J Company H Low Company D Company B Company C Company A Specialists Low Functionality Company F Company G Company E Trail Blazers Figure 1: Sample Radicati Market Quadrant High Functionality is rated from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, and 1 the lowest. Market Share is assigned according to the company s ranking in our latest annual reports, based on its user Installed Base (e.g. the company with the largest installed base market share is number 1, the one with the second largest installed base market share is number 2, etc.).

MARKET SEGMENTATION This edition of Radicati Market Quadrants covers the ediscovery market, which is defined as follows: ediscovery Solutions include data analysis solutions, with advanced electronic data identification, collection, analysis, and presentation tools. Leading ediscovery vendors and service providers in this segment include: AccessData, Catalyst, EMC, Exterro, FTI Technology, Guidance Software, HP, kcura, KPMG, Kroll Ontrack, Recommind, Symantec, UBIC and others. Not all vendors listed above cover all phases of the EDRM, in particular some focus mostly on left-side functions (e.g. identification, collection, preservation) whereas others focus mostly on right-hand functions (e.g. processing, review, analysis, production and presentation). Increasingly, however, vendors are adding support for all stages of the EDRM. Many information archiving vendors, Enterprise Content Management (ECM), and other types of data management vendors also offer ediscovery modules or add-on components to their solutions and claiming that they support ediscovery. These vendors are not included in this report as they typically cover only the very early stages of the EDRM and the functionality they provide is really meant to ease access to their own data repositories for later transfer into full-fledged ediscovery solutions. ediscovery solutions can be acquired from: o Pure-play Vendors These are vendors that focus strictly on satisfying the EDRM. Some pure-play ediscovery vendors target specific phases of the EDRM, while other vendors have solutions that cover the EDRM in its entirety. These vendors typically target mainly legal firms, or the legal departments within corporations. o Enterprise Software Vendors ediscovery solutions may be offered as an add-on component or functionality by vendors that offer information governance product portfolios. The information governance solutions that Copyright November 2014 The Radicati Group, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 5
most often include ediscovery are: information archiving, Enterprise Content Management (ECM), and records management solutions. The majority of ediscovery solutions offered by enterprise software vendors are targeted at corporate organizations and their internal legal departments. o Hosting Providers an increasing number of hosting providers integrate ediscovery services from multiple vendors to offer a complete end-to-end ediscovery solution. These providers will typically target both legal firms and corporate in-house legal teams. ediscovery solutions are available in different form factors as follows: o On-premises Software or Appliance These are solutions deployed on-site and managed by a corporate organization. This deployment model is usually found among larger sized organizations that have the resources to setup and manage an ediscovery solution in-house. o Cloud-based Solutions SaaS solutions are growing in popularity across organizations of all sizes, as they provide predictable costs, require no upfront investments, minimal management overhead and can be easily replaced by another solution. Increasingly vendors in this market are experimenting with offering different kinds of cloud based solutions, some offer mainly storage, others include access to online software, and yet others include bundled professional services. o Hybrid Offerings many ediscovery vendors today are offering hybrid deployments that allow corporate organizations to complete different stages of the EDRM in-house or in the cloud. For instance, it is quite typical for a customer to conduct the ESI collection and processing stages in-house onpremises, and then move the data to a cloud-based review platform where it can be more easily worked on by outside counsel. Note: This Market Quadrant only covers the sale of ediscovery software and technology. 1. The ediscovery market has a large professional services and legal consulting component which is not included in this Market Quadrant. Copyright November 2014 The Radicati Group, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 6
2. Also, this Market Quadrant does not include ediscovery add-on solutions offered in conjunction with information archiving, or other repositories and where the ediscovery component is aimed primarily at dealing with the data stored in those specific vendor repositories. Figure 1, shows the worldwide ediscovery revenue forecast from 2014 to 2018. The ediscovery market is expected to grow from over $1.6 billion in 2014 to over $3.8 billion in 2018, representing an average annual growth rate of over 24% over the next four years. ediscovery - Revenue Forecast, 2014-2018 $4,500 $4,000 $3,813 $3,500 $3,000 $2,500 $2,000 $1,617 $1,908 $2,328 $2,933 $1,500 $1,000 $500 $0 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Figure 2: Worldwide ediscovery Revenue Forecast, 2014-2018 Copyright November 2014 The Radicati Group, Inc.

EVALUATION CRITERIA ediscovery vendors are positioned in the quadrant, according to two criteria: Market Share and Functionality. Market Share is based on the revenue published in our ediscovery Market, 2014-2018 report. The vendor with the largest projected revenue has a market share of 1, the one with the second largest projected revenue has a market share of 2, etc. Vendors with larger market shares are positioned either in Top Player or Mature quadrants. Vendors with a smaller market share, are positioned either in the Trail Blazer, or Specialist quadrants. Functionality we assess each vendor s solution based on a number of key features that they offer out of the box. These capabilities do not necessarily have to be the vendor s own original technology, but they should be pre-integrated and available for deployment when the solution is purchased. In order for an ediscovery vendor to be on the right side of the quadrant (Top Player or Trail Blazer), their solution should have the following capabilities: Standard ESI Support Standard ESI support includes archived emails, IM messages, and documents from desktops, laptops, network shares, Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and other data repositories. Advanced ESI Support More vendors are now offering advanced ESI support for social media content, audio, cloud based platforms such as Microsoft SharePoint, Google Docs, Microsoft Office 365, and more. Search Criteria Flexible specification of keywords, phrases, dates, users, and other search criteria that can be easily customized by the customer. Legal Hold Relevant or specific data can be placed on legal hold and preserved for litigation. Integration with Active Directory or other user databases for custodian mapping. Copyright November 2014 The Radicati Group, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 8
Early Case Assessment (ECA) Technology Assisted Review (TAR) Potential Cost Estimates Deduplication Data Categorization Data Presentation Data Management Data Export Added Notes/Explanations Ability to analyze collected and preserved data prior to processing and review. Legal teams can access data sets and determine the potential time and costs that would be required in order to move forward with a particular matter. Predictive coding technology which speeds up document review based on a set of acceptance criteria. Based on the information provided, TAR software is able to review the remaining data set, increasing the speed of the review process and reducing costs. Relevant data can be analyzed to gain an understanding of who the custodians are, how large the volume of data to be collected is, how long it would take to collect and process it, and what would be the potential expense of such collection. Deduplication is a data culling technique used to minimize data and provide only relevant content. Duplicate or similar documents are automatically removed and/or combined into similar documents. Deduplication dramatically reduces the volume of data that needs to be reviewed. Potentially non-compliant documents are automatically assigned to individual reviewers based on keywords, concepts and other customizable criteria. The search results are usually highlighted for easier review. If many data types are archived together, the interface (preferably) should be able to present the data of each document in its native format, without converting it to a common file. Individual documents or clusters of documents can be open/closed, assigned to groups of documents and moved around on the computer screen with a drag and drop feature. Relevant data can be exported in its native format and converted to PDF or TIFF images A reviewer can add notes to any document. Solution Form Factor The solution is available as: on-premises software, cloud-based SaaS, or hybrid. Some vendors offer the ability to have parts of their ediscovery solution on-premises while other parts are cloud-based to facilitate attorney access and review. Copyright November 2014 The Radicati Group, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 9
Professional Services Many vendors offer professional services and their own teams of legal experts. This is a value add for smaller companies involved in litigation but can also be important for larger customers dealing with complex cases. Vendors often bundle professional/legal services with their solution pricing. Note: On occasion, we may put a player on the right side of the quadrant by giving them a higher than typical Functionality Score, even if they are missing one or two of the features mentioned above, if we feel that the other aspects of their solution are very unique and innovative.

Copyright November 2014 The Radicati Group, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 18
Ringtail s advanced technology may seem too complex for some users needs. HP 3000 Hanover Street Palo Alto, CA 94304 www.autonomy.com HP provides software and hardware solutions for consumers and enterprises. Its product portfolio includes desktops, laptops, printers, networking and storage, mobile devices, and more. In 2011, HP acquired the unstructured information and analytics vendor, Autonomy, which is now part of HP Software s Big Data Solutions Business Unit. HP s Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) powers HP s Big Data solutions with its advanced pattern-matching and analytics technology. HP IDOL collects and stores data from a diverse set of data connectors where it is then indexed, optimized, and made available for analysis, retrieval, and management. HP IDOL supports hundreds of languages, relevant file types, and data source repositories. HP s ediscovery solution is a key component of their Information Governance portfolio, which comprises Enterprise Content Management (ECM), Information Archiving, and ediscovery. Solutions in the portfolio can be combined in a modular fashion to allow organizations to proactively prepare for litigation and achieve time and cost savings. HP s ediscovery solution is comprised of two key products: HP Legal Hold and HP ediscovery. HP Legal Hold - enables customers to identify, preserve and collect potentially relevant information. It provides an automated means for managing legal hold notifications and custodian interviews in a repeatable, defensible manner. It also provides a comprehensive solution for managing the release and disposition of data at the end of a matter. Key aspects of the product include: o Notification and interview management - allows customers to automate notification workflows and interviews ensuring defensibility by tracking Copyright November 2014 The Radicati Group, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 19
and documenting notifications, acknowledgements, and reminders. o Litigation lifecycle management - automatically tracks data throughout the litigation lifecycle: it provides an online collaboration and tracking environment that facilitates initiation of hold actions, tracking of results, review of activity, and reporting. o Matter management integration allows legal staff to relate collections and notices to a set of matters, interoperate with existing matter management systems, and allows content collected or preserved to be shared among all matters. o Preservation and collection is supported through forensically sound collection (copying native content and metadata) or, for certain repositories, in-place preservation (locking the content and metadata within its current repository). In place preservation is available for: On-premise HP repositories, such as HP Consolidated Archive or HP WorkSite; Third-party data repositories, such as Windows file shares or SharePoint; and Laptops and desktops (through the Desktop Legal Hold agent). HP Legal hold is an on-premise offering; however SaaS-based legal hold capabilities are available with certain HP archiving solutions. HP ediscovery - combines processing, Early Case Assessment, analysis, review (including Technology-Assisted Review), and production into a single solution. Some of its most prominent capabilities include: o Early Case Assessment - enables customers to gain insight into large volumes of data using advanced analytics such as automated concept clustering, communications mapping and multi-faceted filtering. The tools help customers identify common themes, spheres of influence, unknown custodians and unusual behaviour in a simple, streamlined process. ECA also helps customers determine collection parameters and Copyright November 2014 The Radicati Group, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 20
prepare for negotiations with opposing parties as well as court-mandated status conferences. o Analysis, Review, and Production - helps customers quickly and cost effectively identify data in a large document collection with high probability of being responsive. Built with enough flexibility to match the right workflow with each unique matter, customers have a choice of review workflows, such as traditional linear review, non-linear (clusteringenabled) review, or Technology-Assisted Review. Deployment options for ediscovery include: on-premise software, appliance, full-service SaaS, and OnDemand, HP s self-service, cloud-based option released in 2014. FUNCTIONALITY: 9 MARKET SHARE: 3 KEY STRENGTHS: HP s ediscovery products can be combined with other modules in HP s powerful Information Governance portfolio to deliver greater synergies and streamline processing. HP s solution provides end-to-end functionality, covering the entire ediscovery lifecycle. This allows organizations to save time, remove risks associated with handing off data from one system to the next, and best leverage analytics throughout the process. HP IDOL, which powers HP s ediscovery solutions, provides advanced pattern recognition and analytics, allowing organizations to derive human understanding from hundreds of relevant data sources, file formats, and languages. HP offers deployment flexibility by delivering its solutions in multiple form factors, which include: as an ediscovery appliance, On-Premise software, as a Hosted/SaaS offering, OnDemand, or as a hybrid offering. Copyright November 2014 The Radicati Group, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 21
WEAKNESSES: HP Legal Hold is a separate product, and must be purchased in addition to HP ediscovery. Though HP ediscovery integrates with a wide range of solutions in HP s Information Governance portfolio, customers must make a deep investment in HP technology to benefit from this integration. HP s On-Premise ediscovery platform requires a significant investment as well as the resources to properly maintain and manage the solution. However, HP also offers a SaaS-based solution, which is a popular alternative with many customers.

Mobile kcura Binders is a desktop and web based application accessible from any tablet or computer, which is specifically designed for attorneys who need to highlight, annotate, search, print, and email important case documents. kcura released an ipad app in August 2013 Applications Custom applications can be built on top of the platform for improved organization, sorting, and searching of structured data as well as the ability to address processes outside of ediscovery. Building applications for Relativity does not typically require extensive programming knowledge or training. Applications built by kcura and their development partners can be shared via kcura s app market, the Relativity Ecosystem. kcura currently has 31 apps available in the Ecosystem. Security Supported security features include: integration with Microsoft Active Directory, two-factor authentication, strong password enforcement, automatic locking out of service after a certain number of failed password attempts, MobileIron support for mobile, and more. All incoming and outgoing data is encrypted. Additional security features include extensive audit logs, restricted document access, and more. Relativity s granular security architecture allows anything in the system to be secured on a customized basis. Productions During production, documents can be produced as TIFF or PDF files in their native format, or a combination of both. For export, Relativity supports the following file formats: DAT, CSV, HTML, TXT files along with Opticon and ipro support. Data Visualization Relativity utilizes a visualization tool, Pivot, to enable administrators to analyze collected data and coding decisions. Documents can be culled and prioritized for review and reviewer progress can be tracked. Copyright November 2014 The Radicati Group, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 25
Foreign Language Support Relativity supports multiple encoding types and is fully Unicode-compliant. FUNCTIONALITY: 6 MARKET SHARE: 5 KEY STRENGTHS: kcura was traditionally well-known for its review capabilities, has now added all other key components of the EDRM for full coverage of all aspects of ediscovery. This allows the company to position itself as a much stronger player in the corporate market. The Ecosystem app market continues to be a unique offering in the ediscovery space and now offers 31 apps available for kcura customers. kcura s open platform design has led to greater innovation and increased functionality and product customizations for customers. The availability of Binders which provides access for tablets from any browser, or a mobile app for the Apple ipad, is a very forward-thinking move as more professionals are ditching laptops in favor of tablets for their day-to-day work. kcura has one of the broadest collections of hosting, consulting, and technology partners in the ediscovery market. WEAKNESSES: Deploying kcura s Relativity platform on-premises may be overwhelming for smaller-sized organizations. However, kcura s hosting providers offer on-demand services meant to cater to customers that have limited IT resources and require a simpler implementation process. kcura does not currently collect ESI directly from Microsoft SharePoint, Google or social media. kcura s Relativity s legal hold does not currently preserve in place. Copyright November 2014 The Radicati Group, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 26
kcura s Relativity s Early Case Assessment could be improved, it currently does not offer key word search, and no 2 nd phase searching and culling. kcura s Relativity offers some tools for developing cost estimates prior to collection and processing, however, these are still fairly basic and could be improved upon. GUIDANCE SOFTWARE 1055 E. Colorado Blvd. Pasadena, CA 91106 www.guidancesoftware.com Guidance Software is a developer of software for digital investigations. Guidance s solutions and services include electronic discovery, data audit and compliance, incident response, security analytics, digital forensics, evidence presentation, and trial testimony. Guidance was founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Pasadena, California. Guidance provides full coverage of the EDRM. Guidance s flagship EnCase ediscovery solution provides legal hold, continuous case assessment, collection, preservation, processing, analysis, review, and production. The key features include: Legal Hold a one-page legal hold interface allows users to easily create and manage legal holds on a wide range of data sources through customizable and reusable templates. In addition to sending automated notices and custodian surveys, all stored in questionnaire and notice libraries for easy reuse, legal hold can be audited to track progress and a custodian s current legal hold status. In addition, the platform s Active Directory integration assists in managing custodians and issuing notices, reminders, and escalations regarding legal hold and preservation. Collection and Preservation the EnCase platform features pre-collection analytics that allow for continuous case assessment. Pre-collection analytics uses advanced criteria and search term analysis to predict the potential costs, relevant keywords and custodians before retrieving ESI. The collection process is automated and collects only relevant ESI based on custodians, date ranges, Copyright November 2014 The Radicati Group, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 27
keywords, hash values, or any other file system metadata properties. The platform supports a wide range of data sources and types, including documents, images, e- mail, web mail, Internet artifacts, HTML page reconstruction, chat sessions, encrypted files, and more. Following the collection phase, data is preserved and locked in a court-approved, forensically sound logical evidence file (LEF) container. Processing the fully automated processing stage allows for the reduction of irrelevant or redundant ESI through culling and deduplication. In addition, further processing enables additional refinement and separation of collection results through text extraction, exploding containers, cracking passwords, performing OCR, and indexing the data for further culling. During this stage, ESI s metadata is fully preserved and kept intact. It also provides visual representations of the processed ESI. Analysis and Continuous Assessment the Early Case Assessment capabilities (including pre-collection analysis) allow analysis and first pass review at any point during the electronic discovery process; before, during and after collection. The review of post-collection and processing results provides robust analytical data to optimize review. Review authorized users can search through collected data using proximity and nested proximity search, wildcards, and modifiable stemming. Advanced features include Technology Assisted Review, linear review with hit highlighting, email threading, conversation viewing, user defined tagging, comments and classification, and more. Production the EnCase platform can produce documents in their native format as well as any format required for legal presentation. Additionally, it provides flexible criteria for automated exportation and delivery of data. The documents can be protected using the platform s information rights management capabilities, which continues to preserve these documents from alteration until the case is settled. Central Legal Repository multi-matter support allows users and legal professionals to manage litigation across multiple cases. In addition to singleinstance storage of evidence, which significantly reduces evidence storage costs, Copyright November 2014 The Radicati Group, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 28
the central repository allows for cross-case work product re-use for reduced costs associated with review. This feature helps organizations streamline, standardize, and reduce costs and risks associated with the electronic discovery process for all cases and matters. The EnCase ediscovery platform is available as an on-premises deployment with additional functionality for the review and production stages offered through a hosted service to allow legal professionals to work on a customer s case from any Internetconnected web-browser. FUNCTIONALITY: 7 MARKET SHARE: 6 KEY STRENGTHS: EnCase offers broad source collection capabilities that include traditional repositories as well as newer cloud based repositories such as Microsoft Office 365, Box, Google Drive, and Amazon S3. EnCase ediscovery s unique continuous assessment feature allows for highly detailed analysis at any time during the ediscovery process, allowing organizations to track progress and efficiently understand the relevant ESI. Multi-matter management support eliminates redundant processes and storage across all cases. Customers are able to standardize the ediscovery process by reusing collected ESI, classifications, work products, and settings from previous cases. Guidance Software offers an optimized deployment architecture that allows customers to conduct collection and preservation on-premises where the data and custodians reside, while review and production utilize a private cloud to ensure secure collaboration among geographically dispersed legal teams. Copyright November 2014 The Radicati Group, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 29
WEAKNESSES: Guidance Software is perceived as more expensive than many of its competitors, and therefore tends to be selected mainly by larger customers with highly complex ediscovery requirements. Guidance Software offers limited functionality for the collection and searching of social media data within its EnCase solution.

WEAKNESSES: KPMG s business model relies on deep and long-standing relationships with a select client base, which may limit its scope of competition against other vendors that aim at the mass market with large sales forces. Despite offering robust ediscovery technology, KPMG still views itself primarily as a service provider and treats its ediscovery technology offerings as part of a larger client engagement.
