**Reviewed Date:** July 06, 2022

**What do you like best about iManage Work?**

iManage Work has allowed our global team to work collaboratively without delay. Before iManage each department was on their separate network drive, and we were unable to access each other's files. iManage allows us to work together and eliminate unnecessary downtime related to document sharing. The ability to co-author documents within iManage allows multiple practice areas to work on the same document without the risk of losing versions. When partnering with other department members, iManage allows us visibility into the whole picture, both emails, and documents. Allowing anyone access to the current status of the matter and visibility into the information, they need to contribute.

**What do you dislike about iManage Work?**

There have been so pain points with using iManage however their support team is always ready for feedback and ideas for improvement. My team alone have contributed to a lot of the feature improvements. One thing I wish iManage had was more training documentation on the basics of Work Web, like how to open a new matter. Detailed descriptions of what iManage is and how it can be used. iManage recently launched Use iManage which I am excited to use when training new and exisiting users.

We have solved for separate filing locations within our global team. Now we can access files as needed without delay from different regions around the world.

**Reviewed Date:** June 28, 2021

**What do you like best about iManage Work?**

The Work platform is full featured with integrations for all major applications that content is created in.  iManage is attentive to customer needs with outstanding support.

The number one principle in our deployment strategy was keeping the product as out-of-box as possible. This enabled us to have a "pure" deployment with few issues.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David M. | Director of Information Technology, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 17, 2021

iManage's Cloud presence provides for business continuity for all of our document management needs.  Advanced AI-based security protects our documents.  Available AI, compliance and governance modules allow for future growth.

**What do you like best about iManage Work?**

We use iManage in the cloud, which allows our users to access documents from any device or browser. Our users have the freedom to access documents from any platform or browser, This was especially important during the lockdown when all of our workforce need to access our document management system remotely.

**What do you dislike about iManage Work?**

There is little to dislike about the application; it just works. The migration to iManage Work in the cloud helped our users and us be more flexible and freed up our IT staff to work on more critical issues. We were up and running quickly, from uploading documents and folders to quickly OCR'ing pdf files. iManage Work is how a document management system should work. We were able to offload all IT functions. Users can view and retrieve past version of documents in cases of accidental overwrites, a task that was solely and IT process.

**What problems is iManage Work solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Before we had iManage Work, users couldn't work on the same document at the same time. Version history and keeping track of who was in a paper at a given time was a nightmare for us. iManage Work with co-authoring made this process so simple. Users can open the same version of a document and work collaboratively. The system tracks everything and saves the work back into the system automatically when the document is closed.

  ### 33. We are a long time iManage customer and will continue to be.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2021

**What do you like best about iManage Work?**

Their cloud support has been excellent.  Most incidents are resolved by the time I have a free moment to process what is going on and who might be affected.  I value adequate support above most features for the simple reason that all the elements in the world mean nothing if the tool is not working.

**What do you dislike about iManage Work?**

Some tools are a bit dated, and the transition to a modern interface has not been without specific challenges.  There are several elements that still cannot be managed/configured directly from the web interface however it is evident iManage continues to make progress with each release.

**Recommendations to others considering iManage Work:**

Every document management vendor is different in their philosophy and delivery of their product.  I believe that iManage is an excellent long-term partner in this space as they listen to their customers, provide excellent support, and continue to evolve their product mix.  There are many comparable products and vendors, but the key to success boils down to how well you understand the technology and your specific needs.  The right vendor will take you on that journey for a successful implementation.

**What problems is iManage Work solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The current version of iManage Work solves several client-side issues with Outlook.  Many new system management features have also made it easier to deploy and standardize the client configuration.  A significant benefit was going to the cloud as it eliminated support bottlenecks due to inadequate in-house support structure or tool knowledge.

  ### 34. Makes documents easy to find

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Melanie L. | Legal Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2021

**What do you like best about iManage Work?**

Our users love the various search capabilities along with the ability to share documents easily. We recently went live and are still learning all the features and capabilities. We also like the system works similar to the way we were operating and work, so there was not a lot of extreme frustration in having to learn to do everything differently. The Office and Adobe integrations were a game-changer, and we love that you can work on the web interface, out of outlook, or on mobile devices. It makes it so much easier for employees who are on the go to keep working no matter where they are.

**What do you dislike about iManage Work?**

As with any program, there are always bugs and kinks to work out. We are still working on some issues that we encountered, but the support staff has been very helpful, and they do not just give up and walk away from your help ticket, which is nice. It would also be nice to have items that become a part of iManage and aren't always an add-on for additional costs or require a 3rd party vendor to integrate. The program itself is great, but if you want to dive in, do everything that is advertised as being part of iManage, and have lots of bells and whistles, the costs start adding up quickly and become out of reach for smaller and mid-sized firms.

**What problems is iManage Work solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are able to move away from network storage space and allow our employees to access files easily and quickly from any location or device.

  ### 35. iManage - the best Document Management system

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Andreas N. | Infrastructure & Security Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

The ability to have a highly customized and robust Document Management system is key to the success of our legal teams

The cloud client is not 100% ready for prime time.  The legacy clients are fully matured, however.

**What problems is iManage Work solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The availability of all documents regardless of location.  That is, no need to connect to VPN and access network shares to access case files stored in iManage.

  ### 36. Great DMS!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Angel G. | Chief Information Officer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2021

**What do you like best about iManage Work?**

iManage is constantly improving its platform, mainly its cloud-based system, making it a leader in the industry and widely used by the majority of medium to large firms. This results in them having integration with a variety of third-party legal tools.

**What do you dislike about iManage Work?**

Licensing costs for some add-on modules could be better priced, particularly modules that help users adopt the platform.

**What problems is iManage Work solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Centralized management of documents and email.

  ### 37. Great system

**What do you like best about iManage Work?**

The interface is easy to use and friendly. Very intuitive.

Sometimes the system gets overwhelmed with certain add-ins on Microsoft Word. I have lost progress on my document multiple times.

It is very helpful for collaboration with others in my practice that are working in different offices.

  ### 38. Features, Security, and Support are top-of-the-line

Data security, client and user organization, and workflow efficiency

  ### 39. Valuable tool in the Pandemic

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lisandra P. | Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 06, 2021

**What do you like best about iManage Work?**

To have access to all the documents I need to work on. The system is very good and stable.

**What do you dislike about iManage Work?**

The only thing I would suggest iManage would be to make the search more google like. For example: not needing to use * to indicate a title of a case to find it.

**What problems is iManage Work solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Having the information all in one place. Fast, easy to use.

  ### 40. Great Document Management System

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cathy D. | Commissaire à l'assermentation, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2020

**What do you like best about iManage Work?**

I really appreciate being able to have a "folder structure" which allows the users to feel like they're using a regular drive...

**What do you dislike about iManage Work?**

There is nothing to dislike about iManage…

**What problems is iManage Work solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In this period of pandemic, having our documents on the Cloud instead of our "shared drive" has allowed everyone to work from home, without logging to the VPN which slows down the computer…

  ### 41. Document Management Tool

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Shubham G. | Account Management Associate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 01, 2021

**What do you like best about iManage Work?**

The best part of this suite is that it is easy to use and has powerful tools to manage your document. Multiple users can access the same file at the same time.

**What do you dislike about iManage Work?**

Its dependency, or you can say its requirement for Outlook, can sometimes be an issue. If there is something wrong with your Outlook, there is a possibility that iManage will suffer as well.

**Recommendations to others considering iManage Work:**

This tool is suitable for small and big businesses to manage your document accessibility and shareability; however, it is expensive.

**What problems is iManage Work solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With the help of the iManage, the issue of storing and sharing large documents has changed. It is now easy and convenient.

**Reviewed Date:** July 01, 2021

**What do you like best about iManage Work?**

Ease of use; search feature; drag and drop

**What do you dislike about iManage Work?**

No number to call when support is needed

**What problems is iManage Work solving and how is that benefiting you?**

How to file documents; how to apply wall settings; how to add sub-folders; etc.  I've become engaged and knowledgeable on how to assist users on simple problems.

  ### 47. Practial and Convenient

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 29, 2021

**What do you like best about iManage Work?**

This service provided convenient file and document storage. It makes it easier to store and gather documents from any device. It also works well with other systems.

**What do you dislike about iManage Work?**

It does not do well with large files or documents. I also dont particulary like that the cloud is public that the files are stored on.

**What problems is iManage Work solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It can be a bit troubling to try to trouble shoot.

  ### 48. Very knowledgeable implementation team. Provided insight during the entire process.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2021

**What do you like best about iManage Work?**

Once you get the information from your internal team, the build out of the template and folder structure is very simple.

**What do you dislike about iManage Work?**

The iManage team handled the implementation quickly, the only issues were on the BCBSM side as API functionality was new to the organization.

**What problems is iManage Work solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Document storage that is accessable by all team members. When team members leave the organization, we found it almost impossible to locate documents, the iManage solution has solved this issue.

  ### 49. iManage Work

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jason T. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2020

**What do you like best about iManage Work?**

Ease of use, well thought out, progress of platform. Cloud product will be great once it aligns with our business objectives and we can actually use it. Being on a platform that is used by everyone gives us the ability to be on the same field and get new features sooner than other platforms.

**What do you dislike about iManage Work?**

Most of my complaints come from the fact that we have to be on premise, which I understand is not the model they are putting most of their effort. Management of on premise product is complex requiring a lot of time and effort to stay current.

**What problems is iManage Work solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Replaced an older document management system , iManage is much better. We have seen a higer adoption rate of the DMS for younger attorneys who were used to iManage vs our previous DMS.

  ### 50. Intuitive, easily adoptable, secure document management solution with an awesome API

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Oil & Energy | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2020

**What do you like best about iManage Work?**

The application is very easy to navigate and highly customizable. As a developer, the API is very simple to understand and use and it is stable. The support for the API was outstanding and we were able to create our own bi-directional integration between our matter management system and iManage without the need to hire external specialists. The application itself is very clean and navigation throughout the platform is intuitive. Most attorney work teams were able to catch on very quickly.

**What do you dislike about iManage Work?**

The migration of existing data from our shared drive had a few hiccups, however it all worked out for the better in the end. We implemented iManage during the COVID-19 pandemic, which was also unique and very challenging, since we did not have the face-to-face customer interaction for training.

**What problems is iManage Work solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Secure creation of folder structures without relying on IT is probably the best feature. The application also allows mobility and can be accessed offsite, unlike the older shared network drive solution. Folder structures throughout the different Legal teams are created based on a template, so the look is similar throughout all groups.
