Agiloft vs. Litera Kira

Agiloft is great for storing contracts and being able to run reports on those contracts. Where is lacks is when there are amendments to the contracts which change information that you will run a report on. Since the data doesn't stack, if I wanted to run a report on any agreement with unpaid time off and there was unpaid time off added in the first amendment but removed in the second amendment, the first amendment would still hit the report even though the unpaid time off was removed in a later amendment

Kira is a great due diligence tool and can be well utilised on both large and small transactions. It also has good application if you are looking to compare multiple documents against a model form document or market standard templates. Kira is less useful if you are looking to review emails (e.g. as part of a disclosure exercise); or if your review involves non-Latin based script languages.

• Ease of use for both end users and administrators
• Limitless workflow development to automate processes
• Flexibility to integrate with other software platforms

• Good for quickly getting to the relevant part of the document in the English language, the smartfields are accurate.
• Handles large scale review well with an excellent UI and helpful project management features.
• Cloud-based platform handles multiple simultaneous reviewers efficiently and easily.
• Ability to self-train smart fields is a definite advantage.

• It would be nice if there were a way to upload an executed agreement and have the system pull the details into the contract record.
• Maybe having a "themes" option so that individual users could pick a color scheme/layout that worked best for them.
• Having a Chat feature could be helpful instead of sending internal emails.

• Finding that many contracts aren't that 'standard' and if not standard, it is impossible to find enough examples to train with
• Many contracts have handwritten data, especially the key terms that it cannot read.
• Sometimes the contracts have attachments with important terms, we find that harder to train.

The current functionality is excellent and we keep getting request for more. Leadership wants to make this a one stop shop.

Agiloft is a wonderful tool, easy to use and has a lot of functionality. The only reason it is not a 10 is because it does not stack information for agreements and related amendments which greatly impacts reporting

If our firm had more contracts in English, the usability of Kira would be rated higher. However, since we have to train clauses in Portuguese in order to use Kira, it makes its usability lower. We still are not able to fully use Kira for reading contracts in Portuguese. It takes a long time and many associate hours to make Kira usable in other languages.

Implementation was relatively easy and I have not had any issues with the support. UI change created some challenges for the end-users, but overall, it was a smooth experience. I hope the company will continue investing in the product and not consider it as something to not care about too much. I believe Agiloft does not make any other software, so I think the focus on it should not wane.

There was an email sent out with technical questions that was not attended to. However, Kira support has been good in general in that emails are well attended to overall, the Kira support portal is great and regular meetings are held.

Agiloft is a better-known product, so we trusted it over the newer alternatives. I also researched its record in updating software to fit the newest needs of the consumers. Recent UI update went quite successfully, and I feel it is a great deal when the software many important people in the company look at looks great. Agiloft fit all our needs and there was no reason for us to decline it.

We initially chose Kira because of the Quick Study feature and because we trust Noah. We've since evaluated Diligen--its features have grown substantially over the past year. We've also tried ContraxSuite, LawGeex, Evisort, Luminance, eBrevia, Heretik, Blackboiler, and many others. It all comes down to the cost + feature set. We will always go with the lowest cost provider with the widest needed feature set (assuming there are no accuracy or performance issues during the pilot).

• Stakeholders - They want status updates - we actually get business because they like our reporting, big ROI
• It's not a negative impact, but we have gone down "rabbit holes" trying to make it work for applications where it isn't really suited because it is a great platform...understand its limitations
• ROI - The platform sends out a lot of communications, we would have to add staff to maintain

• When trained to read bespoke types of documents, the accuracy can be very good and the consequential time savings very high. In this scenario we have reduced the average time of review of one type of client documents from over an hour to 15 minutes.
