Published on April 7, 2021, by the research and analyst firm Gartner, the new Market Guide for E-Discovery Solutions report (G00731953) shares information and insight on the eDiscovery market and a limited number of representative software vendors and service providers. This information and insight may be useful for infrastructure and operations professionals as they consider eDiscovery solutions for their specific data discovery and legal discovery needs.

Representative Vendors

According to the report, the vendors and providers listed in the Market Guide represent the eDiscovery solutions market because their products or services are marketed and sold specifically for eDiscovery.

The representative listing includes both software and services providers.
