Ironclad
Enterprise CLM software for Enterprise (Legal Teams).
Our verdict
Ironclad is widely praised for its modern UI and 'DOCX-native' approach, making it a favorite among legal teams who live in Word. However, this premium experience comes with a premium price tag, often starting at $60k+ annually, which excludes most small to mid-sized businesses. While implementation is faster than legacy tools, it still takes months. Users also note that while the desktop experience is excellent, mobile capabilities for complex redlining tasks are lacking, and reporting customization can be restrictive.
