Litera Kira vs. Outlaw

Kira is a great due diligence tool and can be well utilised on both large and small transactions. It also has good application if you are looking to compare multiple documents against a model form document or market standard templates. Kira is less useful if you are looking to review emails (e.g. as part of a disclosure exercise); or if your review involves non-Latin based script languages.

Well suited to template led document creation - where multiple non legal users can create contracts that are locked down and secure from error. Because it is a niche platform it can be tough to persuade users outside our business to use collaboration features. Often we have to export and revert to using MS word for red-lining/track changes.

• Good for quickly getting to the relevant part of the document in the English language, the smartfields are accurate.
• Handles large scale review well with an excellent UI and helpful project management features.
• Cloud-based platform handles multiple simultaneous reviewers efficiently and easily.
• Ability to self-train smart fields is a definite advantage.

Incentivized

• Easy to use from the contracting side.
• Ability to create a template that fits are needs exactly how we want.
• Easy to connect the consultant with the contract via link or email.

Incentivized

• Finding that many contracts aren't that 'standard' and if not standard, it is impossible to find enough examples to train with
• Many contracts have handwritten data, especially the key terms that it cannot read.
• Sometimes the contracts have attachments with important terms, we find that harder to train.

Incentivized

• Export function to be more easily used.
• Ability to access fully executed documents more easily (the different version histories results in the wrong version being downloaded a lot).
• Notifications for when a contract is fully executed if you aren't the signee but do need to be notified.

If our firm had more contracts in English, the usability of Kira would be rated higher. However, since we have to train clauses in Portuguese in order to use Kira, it makes its usability lower. We still are not able to fully use Kira for reading contracts in Portuguese. It takes a long time and many associate hours to make Kira usable in other languages.

Great user interface and great training and support by the Outlaw team. Whenever we had a question, they were always available to help. Loading templates made the contract process so much quicker and required less approval's from our leadership team, which makes it easier for everyone to do their jobs

There was an email sent out with technical questions that was not attended to. However, Kira support has been good in general in that emails are well attended to overall, the Kira support portal is great and regular meetings are held.

The support has been A+. Outlaw is always there when I'm having issues or need assistance. They will get back to me the same day or next. The support team is very knowledgeable and explains it very simplified for us. Julie Appel with Outlaw has been the perfect support for my company in rolling out Outlaw and answering any questions we have.

We initially chose Kira because of the Quick Study feature and because we trust Noah. We've since evaluated Diligen--its features have grown substantially over the past year. We've also tried ContraxSuite, LawGeex, Evisort, Luminance, eBrevia, Heretik, Blackboiler, and many others. It all comes down to the cost + feature set. We will always go with the lowest cost provider with the widest needed feature set (assuming there are no accuracy or performance issues during the pilot).

The main reason we chose Outlaw was the price and customer service. The customer service at Outlaw has been outstanding in helping us learn the process and set up contracts. They are available all the time and respond very quickly. Julie Appel is the best at Outlaw!

• When trained to read bespoke types of documents, the accuracy can be very good and the consequential time savings very high. In this scenario we have reduced the average time of review of one type of client documents from over an hour to 15 minutes.

Incentivized

• Faster contract process. Our process is smoother and faster then it ever was before.
• Employee efficiency. The process is quicker and has saved time, but I think there are more ways to save even more.
