The Lexis suite of products is the best way to start my research. I like using Practical Guidance and legal news, including Law360, in my daily work. The attached documents in Law360 are a lifesaver in terms of time and money saved! When logged in, the drop down menu to launch other Lexis products like Intelligize and Practical Guidance reminds me what is available. I prefer using Shepard's to update my research over KeyCite. I like how Lexis integrates Lex Machina analytics into Shepard's and other research result pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't enjoy using Matthew Bender titles separately. I like launching all Lexis materials from the Lexis menu. Even after using Lexis and Bender materials for a very long time, I am get confused about what is on Bender and what is on Lexis for treatises. Over the years, I spent too much money downloading chapters that I thought were on Bender but were on actual Lexis. I also can't understand why I can't link to a Bender title with a permalink like I can on Cheetah, Proquest or West ProView. Frustration all around! Also, we use Lexis SSO, but if users forget and query Lexis, they tell them to reset their password, which is impossible using Lexis SSO. Improvement in password management is badly needed.

I am not happy with the product at all and do not reccomend it to anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They lock you into a long term contract and the Ai is increadibly subpar. They give help with creating promptes to reach a desired outcome but even their format for prompts rarely generates the desired outcome. In addition, they have a feature to upload a document into the AI but it only allows 4 or 5 responses before you have to start over. There are far superior softwares out there for a fraction of the price., I would avoid at all costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how it is easy to search cases. I can break it down to State, City, Year, Journal, Supreme Court Appeal, or other primary and secondary sources, etc. It has been great to intern with Lexis Advance and makes it so much easier to compare the facts of a case to other real life case law.

How it is so expensive month to month. Currently, I am getting it for free as a law student and have used it in the workplace. When I graduate which will be soon, I will loose all access and will have to purchase some for of Lexi's Nexis becaise I have become very familiar with it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to navigate, easy to search based on multiple factors, user friendly, great customer support! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cannot save your search factors when switching from "cases" to "statutes" or from "secondary materials" to "admin. materials," etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's one of the most powerful legal search systems that exist. It's Lexis and Westlaw. Those are the market share. If Lexis was more affordable then I would use it. But it's not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cost. Lexis has gotten used to a price model predicated on serving businesses with an unlimited budget for research. Solo practitioners starting out should look at the alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has a comprehensive database of case laws and journal articles.
Lexis Nexis offers an Advanced version that has an integrated search filter for all the search work.
The timeline feature is beneficial to find relevant rulings of the case.
Citations Of article, cases are available saves time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Has a long way to go compete with Westlaw; features are missing, such as case layouts and rulings tags.
UI requires updates along with navigation tools.
Lexis is a costly platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing about lexis nexis is that in internet world it provide me with various law books, legislations, case laws, articles. every thing needed to do a research work or to know a subject. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Truely, I do not see anything in the site to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that Lexis is user friendly. The program has everything you need to simplify your research and find applicable case law quickly. The best part of the program is the Shepardize feature, which allows you to make sure your case is still good law. It also allows you to search by headnote for other cases containing the relevant points you're looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lexis is fairly expensive to use. I would say that it costs more than other programs that have comparable features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One of my favorite features is the option to have research folders. It's helpful to divide research topics and put searched cases in a convenient location. It is also nice to have the highlighting feature. I also like the ability to copy text from a case and have the citation copied over. That saves an abundant amount of time working on citations. The public record search options are also helpful for locating information that is already public. Many cities and states require formal records requests, and sometimes fees, to obtain information.

There is quite a bit of narrowing down searches to find exactly what to look for. It isn't necessary a "google search" function, so I would not count this against Lexis Advance.
Sometimes the representatives are too pushy. They email and call an incessant amount until you request that they stop. Once you notify that you have enough use of something, they stop contacting people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
