Likelihood to Recommend Lexis Advance is highly customizable and intuitive, perfect for solo or small practitioners who lack the patience for extended training and too much searching. The contracts are also customizable and can be graduated for new practices so you don't go broke in year one paying for research. I do wish there was more contact with a dedicated account rep, and perhaps not with sales. In a larger firm, you can stack more features and content as needed. I probably would go back in time and renegotiate my contract, which stepped up quite a lot in year two and will step up again in year 3 to what I think will be an uncomfortable level. Also, Lexis has maybe one too many brands and could stand a redesign of the main home page.

They have great management training, especially for first time managers. Also have HR training and updates as well for HR staff or HR staff new to their roles.
Read full review Pros I like the annotated statutes. That is typically where I start my searches. I seem to find more relevant case law on Lexis than I have through Westlaw. Their training and research attorneys are very helpful. Read full review The law alerts are great especially since we are in two different states They have an elaborate course catalog of training and the dashboard is a great tool when keeping track of the staff accomplishments I especially like the Checklist they have in the Resources tool to ensure nothing is missed so we can stay in compliance The template toolkits are very easy to understand and follow Read full review Cons The notes from cases function is not as strong as other competitors Lacks some features that more novel sources use Costly Read full review Deleting employees from the system could be easier Adding your own content would be a nice feature Setting up your own dashboard would be nice Read full review Usability Very intuitive, easy to use visual qualitative assessments, and I like that they don't "summarize" rules but give exact quotes from cases. The product is super customizable and you can try before you buy. Unlike their main competitor, I don't feel like they tricked me or set me up to purchase more content that I don't need--so in terms of service and overall functionality, they are superior to the competition.

Read full review Alternatives Considered Lexis Advance and Westlaw do the same thing and are very comparable. We actually use both. If Lexis Advanced doesn't have content we are looking for, it can usually be found in Westlaw. They compliment each other well. If I had to pick one over the other I would choose Lexis Advanced, but it's close.
Read full review Safety Skills have more safety topics but Mineral safety videos are good too. In some ways, I prefer Mineral over Shrm due to the ease of finding the templates that I am looking for. It would be nice if they had an HR conference too because I never heard of Mineral until it was introduce to use by one of our vendors.
Read full review Return on Investment It's had a positive impact in finding more cases that are on point for my cases. It was actually cheaper than their competitor. The natural language search is better than the competitor. Read full review It has definitely been positive, but I'm not sure how I could measure the ROI. I feel it has given me more insight into certain situations, such as dealing with millennial employees, and has helped me to grow as a leader in my organization. Read full review ScreenShots
