#### Ratings breakdown

Once iManage is setup, it works. Especially the cloud format. It allows the storage and tracking of documents with easy and powerful search tools

Occasionally the import tools can be a bit finicky. Also as most clients are changing from on prem to cloud based solution you are less in control of the back end data to correct issues

- Reviewer: Shelby Y.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Legal Services
- Company size: 501-1000 employees

It is nice that everyone can see versions and access documents no matter where they are.

### iManage Work review

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Nik P.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Law Practice
- Company size: 1001-5000 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: November 2023
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I love that it now seamlessly connects with Closing Folders and provides for excellent integration. As a solicitor, this is critical in reducing time spent managing hundreds of documents for a transaction, increasing efficiency and reducing the ability to make errors.

#### Cons

The search function via Outlook can be improved somewhat, although I find the documents I am looking for most of the time.

#### Vendor response

Nik, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us feedback. We really appreciate it!

### iManage - Finnicky, Yet Powerful

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Myriam B.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Legal Services
- Company size: 501-1000 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: November 2022
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

I like that iManage WorkSite virtually has no capacity limit. It is ultra convenient to store all documents and files in one secure place, and I know I can easily find very old documents.

#### Cons

The learning curve is steep when learning to use iManage. It has several powerful features, but knowing how to use same can take a while. The accesses can be wider as well - for instance, it would be most helpful if we could rename the titles of subfolders created by someone else. Not being able to do so creates disorganization and duplication of subfolders. I would also like to see improvement in the check-in/check-out features, as they work well with some document formats (e.g. Word), and less with others (e.g. Excel). Lastly, it would be great to have .zip folders supported by iManage.

- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: May 2024
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Overall, I'd recommend iManage Work to a colleague.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5

#### Pros

iManage has helped our firm manage client files and document retention in a uniform way. I appreciate the ease of saving files and version control

#### Cons

iManage can have a bit of a learning curve, but this can be overcome with the "pros" of using the system.

#### Vendor response

Whitney, We’re really grateful and appreciate you for taking the time to share your 5-star rating with us.

### It's alright, but added glitchiness to our system

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Verified Reviewer
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Legal Services
- Company size: 1001-5000 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: December 2022
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

It's been ok. The platform hasn't synced perfectly with our existing software and it's making life a bit harder. This is more so a firm issue than an iManage issue.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 2/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

it syncs with closing folders to populate updated versions

#### Cons

it's only available when connected to the internet.

### iManage WorkSite Review

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Francis P.
- Industry: Philanthropy
- Company size: 501-1000 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: March 2018
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

It is a good product. Most law firms use it. The product is designed to center around laws industry. It does a decent job at its core functions (that other free software does just as well or better).

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Centralized Document Management System 1)Ease of use 2)Reliable 3)Search function is really great. 4)It adheres to traditional Microsoft standards such as: fact-dump documentation with no coherent story or 'best practices' information, inability to automate common tasks, intentional obfuscation of its basic operations.

#### Cons

1)Expensive 2)limitation on customization 3)There are about a dozen different config files to maintain, and the most important one is dynamically modified by Autonomy itself while it runs. Which means that it is impossible to automate the configuration or keep the configs in versioned source control. Even `cp *.cfg ~/cfgbak/` won't help you roll back a change, because it is never safe to restore a previous config. You'll be using `diff new.cfg old.cfg` a lot. 4)Many features are poorly documented, leading to lots of back and forth with the support department just to answer basic questions like "what does this error code in my logs signify?"

### Painful and slow system

- Overall rating: 1/5
- Reviewer: Nicole F.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Legal Services
- Company size: 1001-5000 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: April 2019
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Very poor. Slows down work processes and productivity will take a hit. If people are frustrated with using the tool, they will likely stop using it. Features are great if latency can be improved. If not, this thing may deter and disengage your workforce.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 1/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 1/5

#### Pros

In theory, all the information an organization.l needs can be filed and stored. This safeguards intellectual property and is pretty critical.

#### Cons

It is slow. Cloud-based shouldn’t mean incredible latency when opening, saving, filing or sending documents. The latency for this product is poor. When fully integrated with outlook and other tools, this poor latency means that simple day-to-day tasks take much longer and many more clicks. As a result, people are likely to avoid using the product because it makes work processes so much more inefficient. The product also hangs, lags, freezes and crashes quite a bit, smart searches and indexing don’t work well at all and we’re on the latest version. Overall, it’s a disaster in terms of usability and productivity. However, if you’re ok with moving and working very slowly, it’s a great place to store information.

### Complex and glitchy document management software

- Overall rating: 3/5
- Reviewer: Verified Reviewer
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Law Practice
- Company size: 1001-5000 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: December 2020
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Necessary evil. A massive firm needs a solid document management system and this accomplished the goal. I wish it was not as complex.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Customer support: 3/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

This stores documents and creates consistency across a massive organization. Documents can be saved in many versions and easily sent as links.

#### Cons

This software is very glitchy and feels labyrinth like when navigating. The software often crashes and occasionally wipes documents.
