Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I find EndNote to be extremely useful, but the company seems to be getting greedy and is extremely unresponsive to user input. They capriciously take away features in new versions that were in older v... See more

The interface is as clunky online as it is in the desktop app. Also, when it's so easy to just plug a DOI into a website and pull an article, or find similar articles using multiple free sources (e.g.... See more

I have used endnote for 3 years

I have used endnote for 3 years. It works well most of the time and has all the necessary features that other similar softwares has.

However, endnote word add on needs an internet connection to add any refernces. This is huge problem. Also click plugin does not work all the time.

The new endnote has horrible…

The new endnote has horrible integration. I took me hours to be able to join a shared library. They just keep making you buy new licenses that you don't need. The user interface is worse than the classic.

Charged $275 for free subscription

I Cancelled my free subscription to endnote before the free trial period expired but Cleverbridge charged me $275.00 anyway and won’t respond to communication. My advice is don’t get started with it.

Unable to contact customer support for issues

I downloaded a free trial because it was advertised as working with Google Docs. I then found out I needed to purchase the full version to use that feature. After I purchased and began using, I discovered the Google Docs feature is riddled with errors and is unusable. I then got an email that I was going to be charged (again) for the trial version even though I already purchased the full version. When I tried to delete my card info I couldn't. I emailed the support via the link in the email they sent me, and got bounce backs as undeliverable. I went on the website to find a better email, and when you click on the options to contact support they don't go anywhere or take you to a blank page. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT

EndNote is great, but

EndNote is great. But, ended up paying over 300 $ for a year's membership, after a month free trial. Just needed the free trial. So now it ended up being a really expensive experience for me. Customer service just told me that this is my problem. Want to recommend the product, but this experience makes me unsure of the overall experience. I guess if you get access through an organisation the experience should be better.

I emailed in July regarding my update

I emailed in July regarding my update, and have had no response. I have purchased endnote 21, but am unable to sign into my online account as it does not recognize my credentials.
I have used endnote for years, but may be looking for a more responsive program.

New release (EndNote 21.0.1) has issues

New release (EndNote 21.0.1) has obvious bug in author lists, listing an extra author in several styles I use. Used to work fine, now broken. A fix is supposedly in the works, but we're almost 3 months past release. A failure of your QC process.

EndNote use in doctoral studies

I am a doctoral student, and EndNote does everything I need to do as a reference manager. I use APA 7, and EndNote handles the citations and reference entries well. I find attaching a pdf copy of the article a useful feature.

Sound citation…better than a few…

Sound citation…better than a few others. But some references do not easily attach into Word. Much of the citation functions are not intuitive either. For those who have used the old ‘reference manager’ by Thomson Reuters…that was much more intuitive. Sometimes updates do not make things better. There is an annoying issue when saving multiple copies of endnote documents- you have to use cloud function otherwise it does not recognise the same document on a different device.

Excellent

Fast, reliable, effortless. I cannot say enough good things about EndNote which I have been using for many years and have a growing library of refs that only get easier to search, find, organize and embed into manuscripts.
