iManage is the premier DMS

The support is 2nd to none - they are always helpful and quick to reply, as well as the software works fantastic

PROS

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

CONS

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

iManage WorkSite Review

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).

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

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.

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.

iManage - Finnicky, Yet Powerful

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.

iManage Work review

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 is capable of being 508 Compliant - with work

We use it on a daily basis and it has retained much of it's accessibility properties.

PROS

We are able to make iManage work for screen reader users using a lot of customization. Still it is clunky to use.

CONS

There are a lot of ways to do things in iManage. It generally is good but there is not a lot of good support, particularly for making the software accessible under the ADA/508

It's alright, but added glitchiness to our system

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.

PROS

it syncs with closing folders to populate updated versions

CONS

it's only available when connected to the internet.

Never lost a document

PROS

Integration with Word and Outlook so that I can save email attachments and Word documents without leaving my familiar environment.

CONS

Have to save by client/matter/document type--lots of clicks. Would like to have more shortcuts to make the process faster.

Easy and straight forward

Very easy to use. The interface on the admin and user sites are very clear. OK for a small company but don't know if it would work for a large organisation.

PROS

Very easy to use. Very clean looking. Never had any problems with the system operating.

CONS

We never used the software to it's full potential as it was always intended to be a temporary short term solution. We could not find a way to get maintenance reports on it. This would have been a good feature for us.

Functional but not exceptional

It is passable as a document management system. I have to believe there are better programs

PROS

It does allow to manage documents and e mails into a searchable platform. It also allows folders for files and sub folders.

CONS

It is clunky to use to find documents and does not have a user friendly interface

Currently I don't dislike anything about this product and I am happy with what it has got so I don't have any complaints
