Libryo is a game changer.
I have used similar products for many years, but nothing compared to what Libryo has been able to deliver to our organisation.
PROSLibryo has made the impossible, possible by delivering legal content to me in an easily understandable interface. The fact that I can use the multi-language functionality to seamlessly translate complex legal issues with anyone in my global team.
CONSNot much, but it delivers precisely what we need effortlessly.
Reasons for switching to Libryo
The other products are so outdated and lack actionable content.

An honest review
It has been extremely re-assuring to know that my team have access to up to date regulations at all times. We check all new product listings for label compliance, so it is critical that we check against accurate up to date information.
PROSI trust the product. If ever I need a regulatory reference, I know I can trust that the information on Libryo is correct and up to date. I also love the updates that come through that notify us of new regulations.
CONSI wish the the search drilled into content of regulations. For example, the relevant regulations to my department relate to food, cosmetics, disinfectants and medicine. If I search the word "salt" for example it refers me to the salt regulation, which is great, but the general regulations for foodstuffs for example also has requirements around labeling of salt. It would have been useful if all the regulations on my register which features the word "salt" is given in my search. We have also experienced some issues with tables not being carried over to the electronic versions. For example, it will simply state Table 1, but the image will not be there. Where we have found this we have asked for this to be updated and it has been done, but it is a bit of a frustration.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your feedback Christelle, honesty is the best policy. This will be passed straight over to our product team for future improvements. Glad that you are happy with the solution generally.

Libryo Feedback - General usage
Real time updates. Training. Which is online. This and the continuous availability at no extra charge is great. I have used this function to assist others in the field.
PROSWe use Libryo as our Legal register which is absolutely awesome in having a real time update on all legislative. We do not just service a specific industry therefore Libryo is an reliable source to check our selves. The search function helps to put the laws, legislation and standards easier to find a specific answer. The functions it offers in terms of administrating your current business on to the live register it self is very nice for me personally. The training session also very welcomed on the different scenario's. I have used this many times as a reference and to establish the exact bill of any query regards to legislation, standards and laws. It is absolutely awesome , for me personally, that it gives Global access to legislation and to be in the front row with updates.
CONSThe search function I believe can be a bit more pinned down. For example if one wants the time frame a First Aid certificate is valid for. In mine health and safety and occupational health and safety I had a service provider which did not disclose the expiry date on the certificate. However I would have enjoyed giving them the exact wording from the legislation regards First Aid and its validation period. Yet we could not find it exactly.
Vendor Response
Thanks for your feedback Simone, we're glad that you enjoy using Libryo. Your comments on the search function will be passed straight on to our product dev. team for future enhancements.

Tasks and folders
Quite experienced, I use it daily and am also an administrator.
PROSThe structure of projects with task and the possibility to add documents to a task.
CONSIt is not possible to hide the folders we create ourselfs. This means there are currently a lot of folders visible in our streams. Removing the old ones is not an option due to the audit trail.
Reason for choosing Libryo
As far as I know, we use Libryo from the start. There never was an alternative product we considered to use.

Streamlined Legal Compliance Made Simple with Libryo
Libryo has made regulatory compliance remarkably straightforward. The tool's location-specific legal tracking is a game-changer, keeping our global teams in the loop 24/7. It's adaptable, suiting the needs of various professionals in our organisation. While it's nearly perfect, an integrated API to complement existing systems would be the cherry on top. Overall, it's a powerful addition to any company's compliance toolkit.
PROSExceptional real-time legal tracking tailored to specific locations. Versatile, serving multiple roles from compliance officers to sustainability managers. Boosts decision-making speed, freeing time for other business aspects.
CONSNothing that I could really think of. Libryo delivers.
Reasons for switching to Libryo
Not a user-friendly system that was slow to update.

Libryo Use
Ever since I've had the privilege of working with Libryo, it has increased my level of legal knowledge. it is a really good tool to have in my disposal especially in my profession.
PROSKnowing that there is a platform that you can use to find any legislation that you need to comply to. its not always where you able to find have all this many legislation in 1 area, its pretty impressive.
CONSNot being able to find those legislations because the common keywords you use don't work in finding the documents you looking for.

Your legal register at the end of your fingertips.
Updates on new legislation is delivered straight to your inbox so you stay in the loop. Audits are a breeze as you have proof that you have an up to date legal register and all documentation can be uploaded for audits. I can highly recommend Libryo.
PROSThe program is very user friendly and makes life a lot simpler with regard to legal compliance. Should you ever get stuck or need some explanation of the legal jargon, the program has an online chat feature with success agents to assist you. The Search feature is fantastic as you can drill down in your searches, search for applicable regulations on Environmental or Occupational Health and Safety, or both. Our company is currently in the process of obtaining ISO 14001 and the software has made my life a lot easier in obtaining information. It is also very exiting that the Libryo team is constantly working on improving the software with new features and the regular training sessions are very informative.
CONSFeature to upload documents is very helpful but a drawback is that your need to replace the documents once updated. Using hyperlinks would mean that the documents on the systems are current.

Annemarie, thank you for your kind words and feedback. Very, very happy that you are seeing value from Libryo.

Libryo Evaluation
Lybryo was extremely helpful with the implementation of our ISO 14001 and 45001 Management Systems. It's an easy way for our busy top management team to stay informed with legal and regulatory changes as well as whether other key stake holders in the company get to know the law and their compliance status.
PROSThe short overview with the option to read the full updates; I'm assured that legal updates are never missed
CONSThere's no legal updating service for businesses exporting or trading with other international business partners.

This is the best Legal Register I have worked with
PROSI Love the live chat option and that there are always someone that can assist in real time when you have a problem. I also like the legal guidance if there are questions raised that I am unsure off. They always come back with an answer for me to explain the issue.
CONSI previously had an issue with the searching option, but that has been fixed.

The previous program we worked on was not user friendly and made keeping track of your legal documents very difficult. With Libryo it makes it much easier to keep track of changes in legislation, as you always get an update on when something has changed.

Still a way to go
Tool is good but would require further improvment for application in German (DGUV Regulations, Offshore Wind content, ...) Not decided yet, whether the combination with ISOMETRIX would be benefitial
PROSCollection of Legislation for Germany seems to be pretty comprehensive
CONSBinding regulations from German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) are not included (at least not in the demo) Single pieces of legislation were not to be found via the search function with common names e. g. "Arbeitsschutzgesetz" but are in the system under the official name "Gesetz zur ..." and the Abbreviation ArbSchG. - strange, but happens if you screen official websites without mathching withlocal content
