I was fine with the old version that stopped working so I fork over $100+ for a newer version to get my library back and get a constant library conversion request on the Mac version. Poor product design and testing especially when you charge a premium to stay current.

The desktop version for Mac crashes routinely. I gave up using it and only use the online version.

Endnote often makes Word freeze up if a cite is changed in the document prior to opening Endnote. Very annoying. I have to use Task Manger to hard stop Word whenever this occurs.

Document import not intuitive. Convoluted. I continue to use Mendeley and Zotero intuitively, simply and freely. Not sure why I paid for convolution?

Meh. I write scientific manuscripts and grants for a living and have not used EndNote in over 20 years. Recently, I have started working with several large clients that use it. Frankly, it's the pits. It's overpriced, isn't compatible with OneDrive/the cloud, and is clunky when citing directly from your browser. As it's so expensive, it's baffling that free products such as Zotero and Mendeley are so much better in every way. I just spent $247 for the program and now I've got to spend another $150 or so to upgrade to a cloud-compatible version. It screws up my documents in sometimes inexplicable ways, in which even tech support can't figure out, costing me well over $1000 in lost time and work since downloading in Feb 2023. I'm not sure why large institutions go all in on EndNote, leaving employees/researchers stuck with a crummy tool that isn't user friendly. Stick to Zotero if you don't need to work in Word Online or Mendeley if you do.

Easy to use (relatively) Saves so much time with formatting and I love the integration with MS Word.

Ease of use and fast for adding to library and organization. Hands down, EndNote is >>>> better than refworks.

new versions are getting worst compared to old version with user friendly. There is no user friendly environment. Most people use this software to update references for publication and recent version and updates are getting useless and more confusing. we are buying software to get easy to use, not getting wasting our time to figure it out, what functions where.
