Knovos Manage review
A configurable legal hold platform with strong tracking, controls, and deployment flexibility.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Knovos Manage is a configurable legal operations and process management platform for law firms, corporations, and legal departments. Its legal hold capabilities cover notices and communications, custodian acknowledgments, response tracking, scheduled reminders, escalations, reusable templates, matter associations, and communication history. The platform also supports legal matter workflows, task and time tracking, billing, ticketing, integrated email, document repositories, dashboards, reporting, permissions, and audit-ready activity tracking.
Its strongest fit is for teams that need structured legal hold administration across matters and custodians. Matter-linked projects keep holds associated with the relevant legal work, while version-controlled templates support repeatable processes. Custodians can be imported through CSV and synchronized through the public API. Dashboards, filtering, reporting, and data export provide operational visibility, and audit trails record legal hold communications and activities. Role-based permissions, single sign-on, and two-factor authentication add control for security-conscious legal operations teams.
Knovos Manage is offered through a contact-sales model, with standard licensing and pay-as-you-go models promoted by the vendor. Deployment can take place in the vendor cloud, a customer cloud, or a customer data center, giving organizations different infrastructure options. That flexibility and the integrated email and document repository suit teams looking to connect legal holds with wider legal operations. Organizations seeking only a narrow legal hold tool may find the broader platform scope more than they need, while teams wanting open-source software should consider another category fit. Knovos Manage is best suited to legal operations groups that value configurable workflows, auditability, identity controls, and deployment choice.
