Reviews of Litera Compare
Workshare Compare... A great software for file management.
Comments: Overall, Workshare Compare does not require any training to use because it has a simple and user-friendly interface which makes it easy to use and learn.

Workshare Compare us a solid software that makes file management easier. It is a great tool that allows you to access your files from anywhere anytime and share them with your colleagues and friends.
Cons:
Since I begun using Workshare Compare, i have never encountered any challenge. It is a great software that makes file management easier and faster.
One of the top comparing tools out there, when it comes to office documents
Comments: Quick word document comparison, integrated with iManage Work. Comparing huge documents with few edits can be done in minutes with this software, and saves valuable time.
Pros:
One of the top aspects of this software is that in integrates with the DMS we are using (iManage Work), allowing you to open and save documents and comparisons directly from its repository without extra clicking, exporting or importing documents and the related waste of time. It is also usually pretty fast and accurate in comparisons.
Cons:
occasionally we have encontered a few bugs, which then get cleared out in some newer release. this might take a while. Some pdfs might make the software crash, we have seen this sometimes. Although of course this happen rarely in comparison to the amount of documents we are processing monthly.
Very Disappointing Experience
Comments: In my opinion, Litera has awful customer service and tech support. I spent significant time trying to get them to even provide what I ordered, and had to go back and find sales emails to prove I was entitled to certain products that I was told would be included in my licensed package. They don't really seem to understand their own products, and it feels like dealing with several acquired companies that are not well integrated. They claim the contract review software "leverages Artificial Intelligence" but at best it just seems to be matching prebuilt search algorithms - not even remotely close to what GPT does. It does find some issues in my contracts, but misses a lot of others...so just a hit-or-miss add in that doesn't provide me with much value. One of the benefits I'd hoped to get was being able to cancel my Adobe Acrobat subscription because my Litera package included pdfDocs. But it's a janky program that doesn't even seem to do digital signatures correctly, so most likely I'll resubscribe to Adobe or try something like Kofax. Lesson learned: if they refuse to give you a trial subscription and require a year to year contract, it's because their products don't match the hype. Anyone with good software and support won't be afraid to let you test it and won't try to lock you into a long term contract. Hopefully companies like this will be dinosaurs as the new breed of true AI rolls out.
Pros:
The best thing about the Litera products is their comparison tool, which does seem to work well.
Cons:
This software is wildly overpriced for what you get.
Litera is a Lifesaver!
Comments: Overall, this tool is a lifesaver when comparing version of contracts. Highly recommended for any attorney.
Pros:
I use Litera nearly every day as I review contracts. It's a huge timesaver. I appreciate how quickly and efficient it makes my contract review. It also helps in version control
Cons:
Occasionally, the program will freeze while running a comparison. This is usually fairly quickly resolved by restarting.
Excellent Comparison Software
Pros:
Litera Compare is incredibly easy to use and intuitive. The ability to compare documents from different products in Microsoft 365 is great and the comparisons produced at the end of the process are always clear. The software will also unpick complicated PDFs for the purpose of the compare which is very helpful.
Cons:
There is nothing I don't like about Litera Compare, it does exactly what I need it do and does it consistently well.
