Bloomberg
It's best suited for in-house counsel that wishes to stay on top of recent case law and labor decisions. It's also great for labor & employment attorneys working at firms to have a high level overview of key issues. The chart builder and Daily Labor Report are the best resources for in-house counsel. The content is easy to flip to in-house client teams and department heads along with individual analysis and suggested action items.

Lexis is well-suited to locating case documents, especially trial court documents in state courts, that are otherwise hard to find elsewhere. The system is way more efficient than searching individual state court dockets. So it improves my efficiency.

I think it is very usable. I do wish that the AI was better and I could rely on it more. Often, I find that Claude does a better job of getting case law research than Protoge does. But for basic case searches, research, and investigation, I find that it is easy to use

Lexis has the history that iWave does not. Plus it has the legal search. The business search is better in terms of News (iWave doesn't have one), but iWave does a better job of aggregating more useful sites. Also, iWave has philanthropic gifts, which is useful to us. We actually use both and would make a stink if we had to choose
