Overall, this tool is a lifesaver when comparing version of contracts. Highly recommended for any attorney.

Pros

I use Litera nearly every day as I review contracts. It's a huge timesaver. I appreciate how quickly and efficient it makes my contract review. It also helps in version control

Cons

Occasionally, the program will freeze while running a comparison. This is usually fairly quickly resolved by restarting.

In my opinion, Litera has awful customer service and tech support. I spent significant time trying to get them to even provide what I ordered, and had to go back and find sales emails to prove I was entitled to certain products that I was told would be included in my licensed package. They don't really seem to understand their own products, and it feels like dealing with several acquired companies that are not well integrated. They claim the contract review software "leverages Artificial Intelligence" but at best it just seems to be matching prebuilt search algorithms - not even remotely close to what GPT does. It does find some issues in my contracts, but misses a lot of others...so just a hit-or-miss add in that doesn't provide me with much value. One of the benefits I'd hoped to get was being able to cancel my Adobe Acrobat subscription because my Litera package included pdfDocs. But it's a janky program that doesn't even seem to do digital signatures correctly, so most likely I'll resubscribe to Adobe or try something like Kofax. Lesson learned: if they refuse to give you a trial subscription and require a year to year contract, it's because their products don't match the hype. Anyone with good software and support won't be afraid to let you test it and won't try to lock you into a long term contract. Hopefully companies like this will be dinosaurs as the new breed of true AI rolls out.

Pros

The best thing about the Litera products is their comparison tool, which does seem to work well.

Cons

This software is wildly overpriced for what you get.

Excellent Comparison Software

Reviewed on 2024/01/02

Pros

Litera Compare is incredibly easy to use and intuitive. The ability to compare documents from different products in Microsoft 365 is great and the comparisons produced at the end of the process are always clear. The software will also unpick complicated PDFs for the purpose of the compare which is very helpful.

Cons

There is nothing I don't like about Litera Compare, it does exactly what I need it do and does it consistently well.

Quick word document comparison, integrated with iManage Work. Comparing huge documents with few edits can be done in minutes with this software, and saves valuable time.

Pros

One of the top aspects of this software is that in integrates with the DMS we are using (iManage Work), allowing you to open and save documents and comparisons directly from its repository without extra clicking, exporting or importing documents and the related waste of time. It is also usually pretty fast and accurate in comparisons.

Cons

occasionally we have encontered a few bugs, which then get cleared out in some newer release. this might take a while. Some pdfs might make the software crash, we have seen this sometimes. Although of course this happen rarely in comparison to the amount of documents we are processing monthly.

Workshare Compare has been a lifesaver for teams in our organization as it has helped cut down on mistakes in document review, as well as giving peace of mind during the document review stages.

Pros

Our organization uses Workshare for primarily document comparison. It has extremely strong tools that allow version comparisons and proofing between Word, PDF, and other document files. Further, it provides high customization for document security, permission controls, and secure sharing.

It has helped address issues in our organization by providing a critical tool in our workflows.

Cons

The only con we have with the tool is that the PDF comparison is a little light and requires other programs to OCR/clean up a PDF before using with Workshare Compare.

Reviewed on 2019/02/05

Pros

This tool was CRITICAL to my work. I utilized it for version control for documentation and reporting decks that were touch by many hands both inside and outside the company. Workshare is easy to use and the results are as straightforward as can be.

Cons

It's hard to think of one. Some documents had so many changes that they were basically unreadable in the tool, but I believe that is more the result of being created by different users.

This software is so easy to use and easily integrates with Outlook to forward projects.

Pros

In my field (law) we often compare many different versions of documents on a daily basis. Workshare is so easy to use and a comparison of large documents can be done in only seconds and can easily be downlaoded or shared.

Cons

I don't feel like much can improve with this software. Maybe the speed would be the only area.

Confidence that no metadata is leaving my office and the ability to always be able to compare new versions fo contracts to see everything that was added and deleted from the last version

Pros

East to set up metadata removal from all word documents and all emails via an Outlook Add-in.
Provides excellent security that all Metadata is removed and never available to the recipient. The document comparison program is world class in terms of peed and accuracy.

Cons

You need to be careful when using a PDF Filler to turn off (easily done by un-checking a box that pops up alongside the forwarding email) the Metadata removal, as it will empty everything from the PDF form that you just added

Users seem to like the overall usability of the software. Files and compares documents with an ease that most users seem very comfortable with. It has a good integration with imanage and outlook to help more streamline work.

Cons
