About Woodpecker

Aimed at solo practitioners or small firms, Woodpecker is a document automation app for lawyers. It works with templates in DOCX format for contracts, agreements, letters, and other legal documentation. Woodpecker is cloud-based but integrates with Microsoft Word to update files automatically with user-defined data. Client input can be added in numerous different ways, including a structured form, user questionnaires, or a software API.

When questionnaires are created, they can be shared with external users. The input data is then used to populate chosen templates in the background. The software API allows coders to produce their own input interfaces or integrate with existing solutions. Woodpecker also works with Zapier for cross-app integration. Textual output is analyzed by Woodpecker for syntactical and semantic consistency. Pronouns, verb tenses, and other variables are automatically updated according to the input data. Final documents can be exported in DOCX or PDF formats.

Functionality

Pros:

Auto populating repeating fields across a document. Saves me so much time. And the person(s) completing the form usually just have to sign without entering the same information repeatedly.

Cons:

Should broaden their presence on various automation platforms (it's just Zapier at the time of this review) Field bindings sometimes get messed up, requiring the user to recreate fields (not very often).

Reasons for choosing Woodpecker

Have not looked and don't see the need since I'm quite satisfied with Woodpecker

Vendor Response

Thank you Doug! Being able to populate multiple documents without having to type the same information is one of our customers' favorite features!

Woodpecker has helped our firm become more efficient

After using several other document assembly systems Woodpecker is by far my favorite. It has the exact features we need.

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

I especially like the fact that it is integrated directly into Word.

Cons:

Training on template management is critical as it is easy for new users to get confused and overwrite templates or fail to save template changes.

Reasons for choosing Woodpecker

Woodpecker integration with word and ease of template programming, plus Woodpecker is cloud based as compared to the local installation required for the standard HotDocs product.

Reasons for switching to Woodpecker

HotDocs was difficult to administer for multiple users and was difficult for average users to create and manage templates. Also we needed a cloud based solution and HotDocs so-called cloud solution is not truly on the cloud.

Pros:

The sales pitch. We believed it. Had no idea it was in beta testing

Cons:

They never told us the software was in beta testing, and that when they released updates that it would essentially make all of our documents crash and have to be revised. It takes weeks to get a solution.

I use Woodpecker daily and it makes drafting documents more efficient. I recently tried HotDocs again and found that I can get the same results with Woodpecker at a more affordable cost and much easier to use.

Ratings Breakdown

Functionality

Pros:

It was an easy program to learn to use. After building templates, the time spent drafting and editing documents has drastically decreased. I can spend more time on the legal issues of the documents instead of wasting time double checking the parties names, his/her, he/she, etc.

Cons:

When I build a template I like to start at the beginning and work my way through the document. Sometimes after building the template, I find that I forget a field. It would be nice to insert a field back up where it was forgotten instead of at the end of all the fields.

Reasons for choosing Woodpecker

Cost was the biggest factor and ease of use was the next.

Vendor Response

Thanks a lot for your feedback Jason, great to hear about the benefits you're getting from Woodpecker! Apologies for the confusion with inserting fields at the end of the field list, fortunately you can reorder your fields whenever you like, this should help: https://help.woodpeckerweb.com/using-woodpecker/woodpecker-fields/reordering-fields

Pros:

Easy to use, better functionality (like conditional clauses) than many of the far more expensive options.

Cons:

Occasionally, I have had recipients of documents created in Word with WoodPecker fields tell me that they were unable to edit the form filled terms.

Reasons for choosing Woodpecker

Better price than either - and easier to use.

Hi Patricia, great to hear that Woodpecker has sped up your turn-around time! We'd love to know more about the issue you described where recipients of your documents were unable to edit the form filled terms, so that we can make sure this doesn't happen again.

Incredible Customer Service (particularly from [SENSITIVE CONTENT] )

I can't stress enough how attentive Woodpecker's customer service team is. In particular, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been incredible to work with. It would have been challenging to figure out some of the work-arounds on my own but that is a non-issue because [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been so responsive.

Pros:

If you're willing to put in the time to familiarize yourself with the software and create the templates, Woodpecker can save so much time and significantly reduce the risk of careless drafting errors. The customer service at Woodpecker is phenomenal - they will walk you through any issues that come up almost immediately.

Cons:

The only downside to the software is that it does require an input of time and effort to understand the functionality of custom fields and certain unique work-arounds. However, that is the case with most things in life. Once you develop a general understanding of the software, most things feel intuitive. Additionally, if I'm ever stuck on anything, the customer service team responds almost immediately which makes the initial input of time and effort much more bearable.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review and for your support, Kyle! We agree there is bit of a learning curve when starting anything new and we pride ourselves on offering best-in-class service and support. It's great to hear that our team left such a positive impression!

Easy way to save time

I’m a lawyer and was hesitant about using an automated document assembly tool. I didn’t think it would be relevant for me since I don’t do contracts and wills all day. However I’ve been able to benefit from this program due to repeating text blocks and other constants

Functionality

Pros:

Easy to use, intuitive, plain language for adding variables

Cons:

Horizontal sidebar spacing in word is buggy The sidebar should automatically expand sufficiently so the user can hit the plus symbol to add choices to field variables Instead it’s necessary to manually widen the sidebar when adding entries Should be better way to preview the selections Focus on sidebar as opposed to a popup box limits functionality due to space constraints

Reasons for choosing Woodpecker

Doxsera seems really neat and super powerful however the learning curve is steep. Takes a while to get comfortable with that program to do more simple tasks at first

Vendor Response

Thanks a ton for your thoughtful feedback Spencer. Great to hear that you've been able to get value out of Woodpecker despite the lack of contracts/wills that you handle. We'll be reaching out to make sure that we're doing everything we can to resolve the issues you've been seeing with the sidebar.

Pros:

I have been with this product practically from conception. They really understand the repetitive nature of legal work and how to save us time. Get your letters, motions, pleadings, lines, agreements, etc. that you use often set up on time, and off you go. Even the initial set-up is relatively simple, even for a lawyer! Get this product and save yourself a bunch of time (i.e., money). P.S. Even their customer service is extremely responsive. I truly hope this does not change. If I have an issue, I can email or open a chat message, and usually get my matter addressed promptly if not immediately.

Cons:

Not really sure. Maybe I would like the macros to be a little more intuitive in setting up. And add some obvious single selection categories such as states, months, etc. without me having to build them each time. But this is being very picky.

Vendor Response

Thanks a lot for your thoughtful feedback Robert! We really appreciate you being with us since our inception and helping us build an amazing product. We're working on making macros more intuitive and adding some standard state/month/country selectors as we speak!

Save your time and create from a scratch

We are using this software not so much, but my lawyer is happy, because he`s saving a lot of time and I`m not worried about the documentation. First of all, you can create a lot of categories of documents, like a legal docs, contracts and etc. Woodpecker is not equal to MS Word and Google Docs, this software is another, the game changer. You`ll saving a lot of time and the documents isn`t be a routine, like before. Overall, this is the brilliant app with a simple interface and for a fair price.
