## Reviews

### "Powerful app that is constantly impressing us" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *13 June 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This is a very powerful software that has allowed us to automate very length sales contracts that used to take us hours and now takes 15 minutes to generate.  Every week or two there is a new feature that adds more value to our workflows and enables better integration and data analysis.  They haven't increased the price either, even with all these new features.  I would pay so much more for this functionality (but don't tell them ;-) ).
> 
> **Cons**: Salesforce integration will be nice when it's out.  They've said this is in the roadmap.
> 
> The experience has been great and the support is fabulous\!

### "Great software for litigators to automate retainers, discovery, and template-based pleadings" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *7 May 2019* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have used other document automation software, but they've been clunky, hard to use, and ugly.  Documate is exactly what our firm was looking for.  It was very easy to automate our documents; it keeps our formatting exactly as is (which is important for pleadings and documents with logos and footers); and it lowers human error.
> 
> **Cons**: So worth it.  I haven't had any cons in the first year of using it.  I even had a feature request that they added for our firm.  Great customer service.
> 
> I (and especially our paralegals) are very happy we found Documate.  We've saved a ton of time, and it's worth the monthly fee times 1000.  Because it creates a web-based app, we've also considered rolling this out as an intake or document generation process for our clients - the interface is clean and mobile-friendly for that purpose, too.

### "FINALLY, doc automation software that works with macs" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *11 June 2019* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: An easy to use, no-code solution that looks like Survey Monkey on the "interview" side and allows me to connect my documents with the questions with no code.  I spent a fraction of the time on client documents as I did before. AND IT WORKS WITH MACS and APPLE.  This is a first\!
> 
> **Cons**: I've actually requested a few features and their team implemented them for me, so now I can't even think of anything else I'd like added.  Really good live support at all hours of the day and even on weekends\!
> 
> Makes my work and my associates' work so much easier.

### "A truly programming-free automation software that automates both Word and PDF documents" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *15 June 2019* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I switched over from hotdocs, and the experience has been great.  A few main points:&#10;- Easy to use and beautiful interface from creator and client-side&#10;- They're mac compatible&#10;- No coding knowledge required&#10;- Infinite complex logic&#10;- Can sent the interview workflows out to my clients, or I can use it internally to generate documents. Good email integration.&#10;- Friendly support, even on weekends
> 
> **Cons**: More colors and design themes please. This is the only con.
> 
> Documate has saved me time and made me money.  I'm glad to be able to recommend it to others.

### "POWER\! POWER\! POWER\!" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *17 September 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Others have said this, but it's amazing how much you can do with such a clean no-code interface.  The core of the software is two tabs - your questions (your questionnaire, or what they call "interviews") and the output documents.  But you can do so much. And I knew how to do it within the first 20 minutes. Nested logic, custom naming conventions, tables, gender accordance, etc...
> 
> **Cons**: Seriously nothing right now.  Documate has made assembling documents a breeze.
> 
> I don't know what I'd do without Documate.

The system caters to a wide range of legal practitioners, from solo attorneys to large law firms across multiple practice areas including estate planning, family law, real estate, corporate, probate, bankruptcy, immigration, employment, intellectual property, and personal injury. Developed by attorneys for attorneys, Gavel addresses the unique challenges of legal document preparation and client management that traditional software solutions often overlook.\n\nThe platform features two primary components: Gavel Exec, an AI legal assistant that enables attorneys to redline, negotiate, and draft directly in Microsoft Word; and Gavel Workflows, which provides sophisticated document automation capabilities for both Word documents and PDF forms. The system incorporates powerful conditional logic that can handle complex document requirements, including numerical calculations and equations, eliminating manual work and reducing errors. Users can either upload their proprietary templates to create automated workflows or utilize Gavel's extensive library of pre-built court forms and templates that require no setup. The platform also includes secure client intake functionality with encrypted data collection through a white-labeled client portal, allowing firms to maintain their professional branding while collecting necessary client information.\n\nGavel seamlessly integrates with essential legal technology platforms including Clio, DocuSign, and Zapier, allowing firms to connect their document automation processes with their existing technology stack. The system is built on SOC II and HIPAA-compliant databases with AES-256 encryption and maintains a PCI-compliant client portal with a contractually enforced Zero Data Retention policy. Regular vulnerability testing is conducted by third-party security companies to ensure data protection. The platform's API capabilities enable custom integrations with other practice management systems, creating a cohesive technology ecosystem that supports the entire client service lifecycle from intake to document delivery. These integration capabilities make Gavel particularly valuable for technology-forward legal practices seeking to create efficient, automated workflows across multiple systems.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/2491d496-2224-418c-984c-2c5a5302a197.png","url":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/116843/documate","@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/116843/documate#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/#organization"},"applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.9,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":51},"offers":{"price":"99","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Apple, Windows, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/116843/documate#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Document Generation Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/1555/document-generation/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Gavel","position":3,"item":"/software/116843/documate","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
