Even though we're on a different continent than the customer service reps, they always get back to us very quickly when we have questions. They also did two demos of 1.5 hours each for our staff, and they programmed an output style with our customized house style for references. > > **Cons**: It can be a little slow to open and save a project. I think this is because we're running the cloud-based version and we're in a different country than the servers. > > We're still in the roll-out stage, but so far I've found the software to be quite intuitive. We've had challenges doing references manually, so it will be wonderful to have a software program that pops out a properly formatted list that won't need editing. ----- ### "Citavi Web and Linux" — 5.0/5 > **Martin** | *12 January 2021* | Security & Investigations | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: For me as a Linux user, the Citavi Web version is like a quantum leap. > > **Cons**: The restriction to Windows until recently. :-) > > I really like extracting text passages for planned publications. And now, with Citavi-Web, I can edit the sources together with my co-authors. ----- ### "Great Reference Manager" — 5.0/5 > **Darren** | *14 May 2019* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Citavi makes it easy to import references from various databases and creating bibliographies. Reviewing the reference information is also simplified. > > **Cons**: Some of the features can be difficult to find and require many clicks to get to. > > We search and review a substantial amount of literature. Citavi makes it easy to manage. Additionally, the cloud feature has helped us when traveling. The overall experience has been great. ----- ### "Finally a citation manager that we want to use" — 5.0/5 > **Catherine** | *14 May 2019* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software is an excellent replacement for Reference Manager users. The import of the PDFs linked to the citation is amazing and accessible everywhere if using the cloud libraries. The Citavi support is super responsive and helpful, especially when getting started. > > **Cons**: Minor con, you do need to read the manual and watch the videos to understand the more sophisticated details offered by the product. > > We review large amounts of medical literature for every pharmaceutical or device project we start. Many times projects are maintained for years and the library continuously updated. This is a good fit for our needs. No complaints. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2048751/citavi?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2048751/citavi) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | ----- ## Structured Data
