ExhibitSuite vs Remote Counsel

ExhibitSuite gives litigation teams tools to prepare, present, mark, annotate, search, and share exhibits in depositions, hearings, and trials. Its ES Viewer displays selected documents to participants while concealing the user's desktop and private workspace. A case library supports full-text OCR search, including keyword and phrase queries. Users can apply electronic exhibit stickers before or during proceedings, with custom labels, batch marking, and automatic numbering. Real-time sharing with teams and outside parties uses secure PIN access and role-based sharing. ExhibitSuite lists Dropbox integration and says it works alongside Zoom, Teams, and WebEx. The maker describes it for law firms, courts, paralegals, and insurance companies. Plans include email, phone, and Zoom support. Classic includes 100 GB storage; Unlimited and Pay Per Case include 250 GB, with additional storage priced separately. The maker says the service uses TLS 1.2+ in transit and AES-256 for stored documents, and is HIPAA compliant. SOC 2 Type II attestation is in progress.

Remote Counsel provides software, services and support for court reporting firms managing depositions and other legal proceedings. Participants can join by video or audio, follow streaming video and text, annotate and chat privately or in groups. Remote Realtime lets viewers search and mark up streamed text in a browser, while exhibits can be shared and annotated without uploading them. Users can organize multiple depositions for a case in one place, monitor reporter connections and review logs of connected participants. Reporters can stream from CAT software; Case Catalyst setup and CAT Shuttle for other applications are listed. Clients can view streams in a browser without downloading software. Events can be scheduled independently or with concierge assistance, and White Glove support provides an operator for technical needs, breakout rooms, text streaming and exhibits. Training is offered live online, on demand or in person. The company says it has served court reporters since 1996. Pricing is available on request; the FAQ directs customers to contact staff for current per-connection pricing.
