Likelihood to Recommend Litera Desktop has many functions, but it is still a user-friendly program. Very easy to implement and easy to train. We send a variety of documents to clients and other legal professionals electronically. Litera will clean and scrub documents so that there is no hidden metadata when the documents are transferred. This keeps not only our clients and their files safe, but it keeps our email programs safe and clean as well.
Read full review Ease of navigation is probably the top seller for me. I might work on a dozen or more separate files per day and I need to be able to switch between files efficiently, especially when asked to find something quickly. Naming conventions are simple and easy to use. Searching for a document, even when there are hundreds, is pretty simple and straight forward.

This does a couple of things:
It means the interface doesn't have too many menus or too many buttons to click. Everything is straightforward and easy to use. It keeps the software fast. It makes it easy on the user to decide when you do and do not need to use this software. Read full review Performance I gave Workshare Compare such a high rating because I don't think I could do my job without it. It has just become so integral to my workflow, that if I were to ever change jobs I think I would have to insist my new employer to me a license. It is fast and just works 99% of the time. It is very rare that it gives me errors, and when it does it's likely because the underlying document is corrupted, not because of any issues with Workshare Compare.
Read full review Alternatives Considered The interaction that can be done within this software is very different from the others. One of the most important is that it is dedicated to quickly and easily summarize the work of comparing files, without having to work a lot to do it. Also, it is a program that helps to discover the direct opinion among the users of these documents.
