"Modern, Intuitive Summize UI That Drives Fast Adoption"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Summize?

The Summize UI/UX is very modern and intuitive. Rather than bury features and functionality many layers deep in menus, almost everything is exactly where you'd expect to find it. When something like this is more usable, it's more quickly and widely adopted - a key metric in legal ops deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Summize?

This is nit-picky, but there are some workflows in the real-world that you can't control because you're working with external parties. That means, for example, that filenames get changed or we have to use a different signature workflow. When that happens, it's a bit burdensome to get documents out of "Requests" and into the "Repository". I would love to see some automatic file-naming functionality and an improved workflow for moving contracts to the repository that haven't been signed within the platform.

"AI-Native Platform with Great Reporting, HubSpot Integration, and Smooth Onboarding"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Summize?

AI native; easy to manage change with the business because it meets them where they are; great reporting dashboard and ability to capture metrics; HubSpot integration to pull all data through where our business needs it; great implementation and onboarding experience. Pricing much more competitive than legacy players in the market Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Summize?

we have had some bugs as we've gotten set up, including in the HubSpot integration, as well as in how docs are generating based on selections that the team is making, but they will hopefully be solved soon. Also seems like some users are struggling to understand how to send documents to customers after they generate them and feel like they should be able to send them straight from the portal, so that part is a bit clunky Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Setup and Intuitive Usability"
5/5
What do you like best about Summize?

I am very thankful for the help from James Blake who has been fantastic, very patient, understanding, and diligent. The experience with Summize has been fabulous, and our team has commended us for being light years ahead of where we were. It is an easy tool to use, even for those who are not tech-savvy, with everything at our fingertips and AI integration. The ease of use is what I like most about Summize. It's very intuitive, considering the end user and the in-house group when they built the tool. Because it's so easy to use, I don't have to worry about gaining buy-in from the business, as everyone loves using it and it makes life easier for everyone. Our tech team loved the product too, found it very easy to integrate without issues. Summize is integrated with Gmail and DocuSign, which has been very helpful for streamlining processes.

What do you dislike about Summize?

I think over time, the functionality will become a little better. At times, I found that the system can be a little slow to respond, or maybe there's a feature that temporarily is not working the way that it should, but it always bounces back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Use and Seamlessly Integrated into Our Legal Operations"
5/5
What do you like best about Summize?

Summize is very easy to use. Our users have needed little to no training, and the request process has integrated seamlessly into our day-to-day legal operations. Overall, it fits naturally into our workflow and makes handling requests straightforward. Implementation was also fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Summize?

This isn’t exactly a dislike, more an eyes-wide-open observation. The Summize product is still maturing, and there are a some minor QOL features I’d like to see added. The biggest one is the ability to set default request names and file names, instead of relying on users to enter free text. As it stands, that approach can result in non-descript naming conventions based on user input. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AI-Powered Efficiency"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Summize?

One of the best aspects of Summize is its AI-assisted capabilities for analyzing contracts and proactively flagging risks, even in executed agreements. This adds a lot of value beyond just contract storage. Also, the integration with DocuSign is seamless, and the fact that all executed agreements are automatically stored in the repository saves significant time and reduces manual work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Summize?

The distinctions between requestor and collaborator access were not clearly explained during the sales process, and it only became apparent later that only collaborators have full visibility over all requests. In a fast-paced environment like ours, having broad visibility is critical for efficient coordination, so this limitation was quite disappointing. This is something that should have been more clearly communicated upfront. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Streamlined Approach to In-House Contract Drafting and Review"
5/5
What do you like best about Summize?

There are many features I enjoy about Summize, and I believe they will be beneficial for an in-house legal team like ours by helping us take advantage of the platform and improve our internal workflow. From first learning about Summize at a conference years ago to working with Lauren to get our account up and running, the team has been incredibly easy to work with and has provided tailored support to address our organization’s needs. Additionally, while Summize creates a certain number of templates for you, I’ve found it straightforward to learn how to build templates within the account and set up the different permissions and tasks. We are still in the early stages of rolling Summize out to our internal teams, but I anticipate regular use of the system and expect it to continue being received positively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Summize?

It’s not so much that I dislike anything; it’s more that I recognize Summize is still growing as a company and as a resource for legal teams. There are a few features that would make the platform easier to use, and Summize is still working on developing them. That said, every time I asked a question about a feature, Lauren either already knew it existed and showed me how to implement it, or she took my suggestion back to her internal team and submitted an engineering request so they could start building the feature.

"Revolutionized Contract Review with Seamless Microsoft Integration"
5/5
What do you like best about Summize?

Summize has significantly improved the efficiency of our contract review and creation processes. It is an impressive tool, offering practical workflows that are immediately accessible to both Legal and business teams. As we transition toward broader adoption, we have already noticed that Summize enables us to work more quickly while ensuring we remain compliant with our legal requirements.

The integration with Microsoft is excellent, particularly the add-ins, which allow both our team and the business to continue working within our usual system without the need to log in to a separate platform.

We expect to be able to help our company's customers even better and quicker, now that we can use the system in a much broader way thanks to Ask SIA (Summize Intelligence Agents) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Summize?

I'm not certain, but it seems there isn't a mobile app available yet for checking statuses. Summize is progressing quickly, and the roadmap consistently addresses awesome new features that will have help us further. Especially the AI feature, Ask SIA is improving rapidly and already a great benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Summize makes contract reviews significantly faster and more efficient"
5/5
What do you like best about Summize?

The Legal Front Doors have already significantly streamlined our process. Additionally, Summize makes reviewing contracts many times faster – and overall noticeably more efficient. What really stood out for us was the customer support and the assistance during the transition to Summize. Our weekly meetings with our Implementation Manager Alex were very helpful: He really put in the effort to solve every problem – and in the end, it always worked out.

What do you dislike about Summize?

Since we have been using Summize, everything has become simpler and better so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Task Management, But Needs Better Mobile Customization"
5/5
What do you like best about Summize?

This app has truly simplified my work life, tasks are well organized and prioritized, routing happens automatically, and reviewing standard clauses is straightforward and efficient. The app itself is also very user-friendly. Tom H and Kallan have been an absolute dream team to work with; they are extremely responsive, and Kallan has consistently stayed on top of everything related to implementation. While there have certainly been some hiccups and roadblocks along the way, the positive attitude and excellent customer support from both of them have made me a loyal fan! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Summize?

The app could really benefit from more customization options, such as the ability to adjust status settings and features like "Ask Contracts." Additionally, having a mobile version is important to me, as I need to be able to handle simple approvals and workflows from my phone. Right now, using the app on a mobile device is challenging due to limited visibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly Platform That Streamlines Workflows and Reporting"
4/5
What do you like best about Summize?

Summize is very user-friendly, on both the requester and admin sides. Summize has streamlined both are pre and post signature workflows by creating a single source of truth for our requests and repository. The Reporting capabilities are also a game changer for us!

Implementation was simple, and Lauren + team have been great to work with! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Summize?

Summize seems to be a little bit "buggy" at times. Additionally, there are big differences in the create workflows vs the review workflows, specifically when it comes to uploading new versions. Our processes would be smoother if these request workflows operated more similarly.

Customer Support has also been slow at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
