The issue I see is that Microsoft admits that they do not yet have a solution to handle sources of ESI that do not live in their O365 environment and accessible to the various flavors of their equivio integration as eDiscovery or advanced eDiscovery. And in a mixed use world of BYOD, Mac desktops, ipads, smartphones, Linux and windows desktops and servers, that is a pretty big hole. Again, I do like their approach to having data accessed from the cloud without having to move it. But since data does not just live in the cloud, solutions that at a minimum leverage what exists and has been developed for Office 365 AND can aggregate non O365 esi sources are the sharpest tools in the tool box. In that regard X1 Distributed Discovery is ahead of the curve.
