JabRef is very intuitive to use. I never read the instruction manual or used the help and got started using it right away. You can insert citations by copying and pasting BibteX references (for example, from Google Scholar) right into your citation JabRef library. Then you can include the *.bib file with other LateX files. Also, installation was fast and painless. I especially like JabRef because it is open source and works well with version - sharing systems such as GitHub. I have used JabRef to manage my citations for almost all of my school papers, and I love it! Like EndNote, you can attach the papers to their citations in JabRef, making it easy to look up information from references. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do not have much to complain about, although it would be really awesome if JabRef had a MS Word version that worked like EndNote. Also, it would be great if there was a JabRef version that worked for Macs. Currently, it only works on PCs, so if I'm on my other computer, which is a Mac, I have to use another software package.

Jabref is very easy to use and works well with LateX. It's a great way to store articles for references without having to worry about formatting them properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If you're using Jabref with LateX you might come into issues with it clashing with other packages which might stop it from generating your bibliography. Need to make sure that you're running it alone without other similar packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is an open-source tool that works in MacOS, Windows and Linux. The installation doesn't take up a large amount of space. It's the best reference management tool if you are using Latex to write papers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sadly, it is not very collaborative friendly. Also the GUI could be slightly more user friendly, but it does work as it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's amazing how easy is to use references with this app. You just complete the information you want to show, choose a key, and then voila! just add the ref file to your tex folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The UI could be a little better, but that's just what you get while using latex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main concern is that it is not a collaborative tool. it would be interesting to build shared libraries using the tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its simple, drag and drop. Then it automatically generates the bibliography. This is the only product I have used, and I like it so much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is not free!! It would be much better if there is subscription for students. I use it in my lab which is paid by my advisor. If there is a free option I can use it for my personal use as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
