"Awesome Stand-alone Pinterest for Academics!"
5/5

Zotero's functionality, in terms of the ability to save "snapshots" of websites needed for academic research, combined with it's ease of use, make it the best website research assistant software I've used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took me some time to figure out how to setup some of it's sharing features, in order to synchronize between devices when I initially discovered the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful reference management tool "
4.5/5
What do you like best about Zotero?

I like that it is free (but you can pay for additional storage if you want). Being able to save content directly from the web as I'm browsing is really nice. Being able to sync my library across multiple computers has been a benefit, as I work from home two days a week. I also like that you can capture screenshots of web pages you want to archive this has come in handy numerous times. The ability to share my files with coworkers has also been useful to me.

What do you dislike about Zotero?

I've had issues with it shutting down and not saving some of the most recent information added. It doesn't have nearly as many citation styles as Endnote. I normally use Google Chrome but downloaded Firefox in order to use Zotero. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is free open source software, so no extra cost involved. Easy to use, one click citation save options. Have an option to export references from many research databases - Orbis, Jstor etc..

Sometimes citation format is off for some of the more specialized styles, e.g. Bluebook for legal docs, and needs to be corrected manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to save references"
5/5
What do you like best about Zotero?

I like how chrome add-on app of Zotero which saves so much time in saving references. In addition, the information of the reference (authors, publishers, publishing time, etc.) can be retrieved right away in zotero once being saved. Other functions are pretty similar to Mandeley. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zotero?

The sync function is good but it is slow from one computer to the other. The graphic design of user window is boring and lack of innovation but works fun if one just care about saving references. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

References can be easily organized into folders and shared. Also, you no longer have download anything; everything can be done from the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zotero?

If you have a lot of references, the view can be a little overwhelming and it can be hard to organize if you leave a project and then return to it later (i.e., if you don't organize your references as soon as you add them, it can be harder later). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
