User Testimonials
	Legal SmartDocuments	Mitratech HotDocs
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	If you are doing transactional documents, HotDocs is a game-changer. If there are only a few select variables that change while the remainder of the work mostly consists of form language, this is a program that will dramatically increase efficiency. Even the most technical and dense documents can be turned into a template, as long as you are willing to take the time to invest in future time saving. However, if the majority of the work that you are doing is not constantly repeating, this may not be the software for you. Incentivized GL Garrett Lemons Paralegal Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Easy to use and quick when it comes to creating documents Template personalization can range from simple to quite complex The engine is continually running and producing papers swiftly and effortlessly Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	HotDocs is difficult to develop new documents as it's as complicated as programming at times. I often have to call for assistance. The tables can be frustrating. It makes it hard to insert between items as you have to make sure it doesn't offset other areas. Incentivized Kandice McElroy Executive Administrator Read full review
