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?"

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.

Recommend

Overall I would recommend. This is my first year owning a company and having to perform payroll. After completing my year end taxes and having my accountant review, I can say I am very satisfied.

Pros

Very helpful staff. Product performs as expected. Company can perform multi-state payroll for individual employee (which is why I purchased).

Cons

Even though this is a good product that perform multiple functions, there is still a need to closely monitor. Have had a few mishaps (which the company cleared up and corrected immediately).

Good, but Limited

I like the product and I like the company. They have been very supportive and responsive to any questions, issues, or requests.

Pros

Very responsive staff.

Cons

There have been a bit more miscommunications than I would have expected.

Easy to use

I've used this product with 2 different companies & don't have any complaints.
