"Lexis Review"
5/5
What do you like best about Nexis®?

I like this product the best out of all of the research databases offered in Law School. It offers endless amount of resources to make researching and learning better. For example, the search engines are seriously individualized and custom to what you need. The legal search can be as broad or narrow as you like it. My favorite is using the timeline aspect of the search. Also, my favorite thing is hi-lighting the actual documents and saving them in numerous folders for different projects.

What do you dislike about Nexis®?

I dislike that the interface is a little confusing. There are so many great aspects to this software but it is organized a little confusing. For example, West Law is a little more easy on the eyes. So what I dislike most is the appearance and visuals of Lexis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent source for research"
5/5
What do you like best about Nexis®?

Lexis Nexis is a well known and very vast source of trusted research information, especially in the business and legal fields. In the academic version, only standard view is available for documents, however the limit on document retrieval is generous at several thousand. One would have to be an exceptionally avid collector or prolific researcher in order to ever reach that limit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nexis®?

The legal document search requires exact match, so it is important to enter all possible variations of the term being search. This comes with two disadvantages: One, it can be a tedious process to input the numerous possible matches; and two, it is somewhat easy to miss some variations that may be relevant but not immediately obvious. Also, while there are some customization options available, it can be easy to get lost in the sea of information without a proper system to keep track of everything. Unfortunately, this is not a feature that seems to be built into the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for doing extensive research with ease"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Nexis®?

I love Nexis for it's ease of use. I've used many other products before to conduct literature reviews and Nexis is the bet out of them all. It found the most relevant sources and organized them in a way that was easy to sort through. I've used many other products before and they were convoluted and not user friendly at all. Nexis has been the simplest and easiest to use out of all it's competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nexis®?

I don't really dislike anything about Nexis. The user support is great, the interface is great, and the data it provides us is great. The only thing that would be a dislike about Nexis is probably the cost. But, you definitely get what you pay for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Legal Database"
4/5
What do you like best about Nexis®?

Lexis Nexis is the premier legal and business database allowing for easy search and access to millions of documents. Students like using Lexis Nexis for the reputation of documents available on the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nexis®?

There is a bit of a learning curve when first beginning to use Lexis Nexis. When searching for documents, there can be an overwhelming number of results unless search criteria are very specific or searching by specific document number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
