A fair shortlist names the trade-offs. Here is when each option makes sense, and when Venio does.
Teams already standardized on RelativityOne, with certified admins and a service partner who runs it for them.
On-premises Relativity Server ends for new matters on January 1, 2028.
Cloud-first teams that want browser-based collaboration and published government cloud authorizations.
No on-premises or air-gapped option when data must stay inside your walls.
Forensic and investigations teams with specialist operators processing very large, complex data sets.
Several products and licenses may be needed to cover a matter end to end.
Legal teams that want legal hold to production on one platform, deployed where their data must live.
A smaller partner ecosystem than Relativity.
Each Bridge ingests standard load files and carries your tags, coding and redactions across, with no per-GB ingestion fees during the move. Every migration runs with validation, audit logging and chain-of-custody tracking.
A chart narrows the list. Live proof on your own data decides it. The free demo checklist turns these into a scored sheet.

Venio’s product team rated each capability from 1 to 5 in June 2025. It is Venio’s own assessment, not an independent test. Use it to shortlist, then have each vendor prove its scores live.
Yes. Bring a real data set to a 20-minute walkthrough and we process, review and produce it live. Teams switching platforms can also have one real workspace from their current platform ingested before any commitment, coding, tags and redactions included. Book the walkthrough →
Pricing is instance-based with all features included: one price for the platform, not per gigabyte or per feature. Ask for a quote for your volumes on the pricing page.
Relativity Server still supports existing matters. From January 1, 2028, Relativity requires new matters to be hosted on RelativityOne, with limited exceptions.
No. Everlaw runs as a cloud service on AWS. It publishes SOC 2 Type 2 and FedRAMP Moderate authorization for teams that can use the cloud.
Venio runs one platform across cloud, on-premises and hybrid. Nuix offers SaaS, customer-hosted cloud and on-premises options. Everlaw is cloud only.
Cloud environments go live in under 48 hours. On-premises deployments typically take four to six weeks. Data migration time depends on volume and active matters; most Nuix migrations complete in 2 to 4 weeks.
