### Pros

"Its collaboration features and cross-platform sync make managing and sharing research seamless and efficient."

"Mendeley excels in organizing references, automating citations, and annotating PDFs."

"They can be grouped into different categories which makes it easy to manage them when it is a large volume."

### Cons

"Also, with some pdf, it is impossible to auto generate the quote and reference and sometimes, the add-in refuse to be integrated to Microsoft Office Word"

"Additionally, the software does not allow for exporting the entire database with annotations, necessitating a time-consuming process of exporting them one by one."

"Its compatibility with certain operating systems is a drawback if you want to implement it in these environments, for example Linux in its Linux Mint distribution presented integration problems that could not be solved easily."
