Rating: 6 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
iManage Work works as a document management and collaboration tool between individuals and external parties. It stores documents securely in the cloud and provides an organized format for maintaining and editing them. Oftentimes, the primary source of accessing and editing documents is via an Outlook add-in which embeds as a sidebar to search and pull files as well as save new files.
Pros
- Very reliable, once setup it is usually pretty flawless outside of Outlook-related issues.
- Simple and easy to use organization of files and groups.
- Customizable for different departments or sections to divide up access and partition document system.
- Allows collaboration with outside parties and makes sharing documents quick and easy.
Cons
- Complicated setup. On initial installation it is cumbersome to configure on each workstation just to connect to service.
- Does not enforce structure. Once setting up structure, users can save outside of iManage Work and make their own files and folders under pre-configured system.
- Outlook is a finicky software, access to iManage Work depends on Outlook, nothing against iManage Work, but it sometimes has issues caused by the application it relies on.
Likelihood to Recommend
iManage Work is a great solution for a smaller business. It provides a quick, easy way to store and share documents. It works with Outlook, which almost everyone utilizes, so it's a good way to get into document management. iManage Work is capable of scaling, but it is not necessarily the best solution for it. There are many other solutions that scale very nicely for enterprise size.
