What do you dislike about Nexis®?

Sometimes the Nexis support team is not able to help me with a request.

For example, if I have two requests that I need to search for, the system automatically adds the first request to the second one. In order for me to fix this, I have to log off and then log on again. When I asked a customer rep about this, they were not able to help me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As part of my job responsiblity, I conduct searches on all industries and often I have rush requests. Nexis affords me the opportunity to finish these requests in a speedy and efficent manner.
