## Reviews

### "A Solid Choice for Legal Professionals, but Some Quirks to Watch out For" — 4.0/5

> **Brett** | *19 March 2026* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Its standard source of truth in the form of a easy-to-read UI and new AI tools make it easy for me to find and update information.
> 
> **Cons**: I've used its document automation service for a while now, and whenever Athennian makes an update it completely throws off our processes, which can add unnecessary time to my already busy day.
> 
> Overall, Athennian is a helpful program, but some inefficient quirks are starting to rear their heads after a few years in.

### "A great decision for our organization to switch to a more robust system." — 5.0/5

> **Lanair** | *9 November 2023* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We are very pleased with the amount of detail tracked on the entity profiles, the tracking of compliance tasks, and keeping up to date/point-in-time transactional data easily assessable. The features and new rollouts keep this the single source of truth system we were looking for. The product is easy to use and easy to train on, and the customer support and service are first in class.
> 
> **Cons**: When we were on-boarding and implementing and at the time of rollout, a lot of new features and changes were released. All the changes were good for our organization, but it was hard on the timing to backtrack with those recently trained. Also, navigating the new way of selecting groups and making some entities private is hard for me.
> 
> Overall, I have been please and satisfied with my experience with Athennian. We are looking forward to 2024, when we will be able to utilize all the features and services for the first time in a full year.

### "New user" — 4.0/5

> **Michelle** | *17 June 2020* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Support is amazing and fast.&#10;Given the program with no training, very easy to figure out.
> 
> **Cons**: May be the screen I'm using, but transactions are hard to locate in the list

### "Finally\! A Corporate Entity Management System that is User Friendly\!" — 5.0/5

> **Michelle** | *10 February 2022* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: After working with many other platforms with corporate entity management, it is so refreshing to be working in Athennian\! It is so easy to use, easy to figure out, easy to make it tailored to our needs.  From brining over our entities via Alf, to creating new entities from scratch, Athennian just made the process so smooth.  I had even made a mistake with the creation of a new entity - after chatting with the super-helpful support staff, mistake was easily fixed and was not that big of a deal\!  It has made me look like a superstar when being asked information that I can print out in a matter of minutes\!
> 
> **Cons**: None\! Athennian is always changing, taking in feedback from users about what is working, what isn't working, what options they haven't thought of that could be used. If any "cons" show up, they are acknowledged and a solution is found as soon as the Athennian team can do so\!
> 
> Because of Athennian, we were able to bring our minute books in house to be maintained by our group - that alone now saves us time/money when looking for information for items like a Know-Your-Client requests.  The staff, from sales to support, are SUPER FRIENDLY and the BEST group around.  I will keep telling everyone I know in the Corporate Paralegal world to take a look at this product - and switch\!

### "Easy to use, modern and powerful" — 5.0/5

> **Megan** | *3 June 2020* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - very easy to use&#10;- modern interface &#10;- excellent support (all support reps are corporate paralegals) &#10;- integrates with DocuSign and Google Drive
> 
> **Cons**: - I wish there was more customization  on the permission levels and the interface
> 
> Excellent. We were on Diligent Entities before which was very complicated to use. Athennian has an amazing conversion team. They helped us migrate all of our data and the training was very good.
