User Testimonials
	Mendeley	Readiris
Likelihood to Recommend	Mendeley Mendeley Desktop used to be a decent software, and comparatively one of the best among Reference Managers. The new online version is beyond expectations Erwan Pannier Post-Graduate Researcher Read full review	IRIS - Canon Group No answers on this topic
Pros	Mendeley Easy to use interface The use of font size and style makes information easily discoverable within the article previews Drag-and-drop functions make article indexing particularly simple Incentivized Verified User Read full review	IRIS - Canon Group No answers on this topic
Cons	Mendeley In my opinion, terrible web-based function in the new version Very difficult to annotate and search in PDF's New version removed many previous functions Franklin Linam PhD Student Read full review	IRIS - Canon Group No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Mendeley There are a lot of references that do a good job troubleshooting, although I am not sure there is a direct number to an actual person. Incentivized Craig West CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Read full review	IRIS - Canon Group No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Mendeley Microsoft EndNote. Mendeley has better user interface and is able to store, sort and organize a large number of articles effectively. Also can import and extract information from citations from articles online without the entire full text pdf availability. Can be used and accessed from portable devices such as iPads and mobile phones as well. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	IRIS - Canon Group No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Mendeley It is great that for instance, you download the paper you need once, and share it with your entire team. You can present your annotation with the team! Incentivized Diego Fernando Martínez Ayala Research Lead Read full review	IRIS - Canon Group No answers on this topic
