Inprotech is a very configurable system providing huge power and flexibility to us as an IP law firm in managing our cases. Laws for different countries and property types (patents, trademarks, designs, etc.) can be set up catering for all needs. Also changes in laws can be made with specific start dates and the ability to recalculate the dates are affected by the new laws. The time recording functionality has received a revamp in recent years and works really well alongside the billing modules. There are also modules for importing new case data into the system from a spreadsheet as well as the ability to download and compare data from public IP databases (EPO, US TSDR, Clarivate IPOneData) and compare the bibliographical data with that in your system in order to identify errors. The support is usually quite quick to respond to calls and there is also the ability to see what the development teams are working on - a very transparent environment. The system runs on a SQL Server RDBMS and as such *your* data is open and available to you for further integration (and transfer) into other systems. A fairly well documented database schema is also available. There is a site available with lots of documentation and demonstration videos. The very best thing about Inprotech though is the active user community; You might make friends for life, let alone the technical and emotional support you'll get.

EndNote: as the name indicates "stop noting manually" make yourself go on easier with ready to use tool for referencing and citations. Furthermore, Endnote is merely not bound into only referencing but it also provides us an online account, which saves our projects and enables us to access our work easily from anywhere. Besides, quoting the ready references from Scholar.google.com it is also provided with editing the reference according to the need of a journal/ publisher. The best peculiarity, which is most fascinated to me is the attachment of certain Paper/article/PDF to the specific reference, so that which is then easily accessible for the desired action.

While in theory endnote is helpful, execution at least as of the latter updates has been awful. The word plug-in, when working correctly saves a lot of time and generates good in-text citations and reference lists.
