I am not only satisfied, but enthusiastic about the software - the Citavi support team is extremely competent, friendly, seeks and finds individual solutions - great.
For sure there are missing features - this is always the case when you use a software as this is a living process. But the missing points are on a high level.
CITAVI is a SUPER stable, easy to use and useful program. Within years of working with it I collected 1635 sources, many with quotations and some with full text.
Problem: We have a collection of now over 10.000 titles listed in the software Citavi, many of them kept in over 33 folders. With those consecutive numbers we could find them easily.
Super helpful and easy to use. Very stable and reliable.
That's a shame since this limits the user base.
With citavi, it is super easy to keep track of thousands of sources and also retrieve them again after years, even if you didnt know anymore that you have a source.
So, there is no speacial feature which could be presented here.
I enjoy the easy-to-use interface and capacity for editing. I like the ease with which I can add papers/documents to the program.
The main issue is in organizing citations because users cannot upload a paper directly into a folder, so there is a risk of misplacing it.
I love its reader platform —so comfortable for reading, highlighting and making annotations. The citation system works seamlessly with Google docs.
My biggest complaint is that you cannot search the text of papers.
Terrific software for compiling references, papers. Pretty good for collaboration.
It is difficult to troubleshoot why the format is incorrect.
Love the chrome extension and add to paperpile button. Customer support exists unlike other free apps and is awesome.
The annotation feature is glitchy and limited.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
