This software is so easy to use and easily integrates with Outlook to forward projects.

In my field (law) we often compare many different versions of documents on a daily basis. Workshare is so easy to use and a comparison of large documents can be done in only seconds and can easily be downlaoded or shared.

I don't feel like much can improve with this software. Maybe the speed would be the only area.

Workshare Compare integrates well with our iManage document management system. Whether pulling documents from iManage or from a local drive, it creates fast and accurate comparisons of documents.

The formatting of output files can sometimes be a bit hard to read; however, this is rarely a significant issue.

Money for their marketing budget would have better employed in R&D. The old technology they use prevents them from properly innovating, leaving them in the dust by their competitors.

It's been around, so some change-resistant users will adhere to it.

Exceedingly slow and feature-poor software. Uses ancient technology under the hood, which makes it exceedingly cumbersome.

Comparing documents easily with redlines and imanage integration.

Wonky software that doesn't work properly and lot of the time. Settings change often for no reason and customer support doesn't help much.

Overall, this is great software to have if you draft a lot of documents or negotiate terms.

This software is great! I love being able to compare documents throughout the negotiation process. It’s easy to see changes and share documents with colleagues.

Sometimes the formatting of a document gets funky when it is compared. Other than that, it’s a great product.

Recently we tried to switch to Microsoft Word native compare functionality, and it simply doesn't do what Compare does.

Easy to customize, very good at comparing documents, spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations. Integrates with most document management systems.

The support has been lackluster and not getting any better. the cost is a little high but there isn't anything less expensive that does what Compare does.

This tool was CRITICAL to my work. I utilized it for version control for documentation and reporting decks that were touch by many hands both inside and outside the company. Workshare is easy to use and the results are as straightforward as can be.

It's hard to think of one. Some documents had so many changes that they were basically unreadable in the tool, but I believe that is more the result of being created by different users.

Overall a great program for any legal office who shares documents.

It is very accurate in finding discrepancies in documents and marks them well. Easy to use, easy to find differences. Integrates well with Microsoft Word.

Would like to be able to accept changes within software.

Has been very easy for our user to use and compare documents quick and easy to understand the compare summaries.

We have had issues with the install and the licensing keys from the vendor. A Lot of the times we have had to go into the registry and remove or rename the Workshare folder for the license to work.

File and comparison software for documentation. Has add-ins and integration for many other programs including imanage and office

Users seem to like the overall usability of the software. Files and compares documents with an ease that most users seem very comfortable with. It has a good integration with imanage and outlook to help more streamline work.

It is not without its flaws, and, at times, it seems to be many. We have had several releases that have severely broken certain functionality. The support has been good overall, but it isn't always the smoothest, as we have been told before "this issue is addressed in a future release, you'll have to get that."

Quick word document comparison, integrated with iManage Work. Comparing huge documents with few edits can be done in minutes with this software, and saves valuable time.

One of the top aspects of this software is that in integrates with the DMS we are using (iManage Work), allowing you to open and save documents and comparisons directly from its repository without extra clicking, exporting or importing documents and the related waste of time. It is also usually pretty fast and accurate in comparisons.

occasionally we have encontered a few bugs, which then get cleared out in some newer release. this might take a while. Some pdfs might make the software crash, we have seen this sometimes. Although of course this happen rarely in comparison to the amount of documents we are processing monthly.

Confidence that no metadata is leaving my office and the ability to always be able to compare new versions fo contracts to see everything that was added and deleted from the last version

East to set up metadata removal from all word documents and all emails via an Outlook Add-in.

You need to be careful when using a PDF Filler to turn off (easily done by un-checking a box that pops up alongside the forwarding email) the Metadata removal, as it will empty everything from the PDF form that you just added

I use Workshare in a lot of capacities - whether its track changes, compare docs, or scrubbing docs. Within itself - this is a great product as it serves many uses. However I've had some trouble with incorporating it into my Microsoft Office 2013 suite in conjunction with other apps.

Functionalities. Ease of use. Diverse amount of options/tools.

It can be buggy and take a long time to run certain compares.
