eFileCabinet vs. Lexbe: a Document Management System Showdown

by | Jan 23, 2017

For those investigating legal document management system, Lexbe is frequently a name many consider when deciding to opt in to a system for managing legal files. Although Lexbe is a nice little product, it does not span the breadth of organizational processes as deeply as our legal document management system.

The Lexbe interface is very legal-specific, but it does not promote the accessibility and efficiency of information that one would find with eFileCabinet, primarily because of our SideKick feature, which is discussed below as an instant access icon.

Additionally, the integrations of these solutions differ drastically. Whereas Lexbe integrates shallowly with a few legal technologies, eFileCabinet integrates deeply with a variety of different software, making it great for legal firms and larger legal offices, although legal departments within smaller organizations can benefit from it as well.

Without further ado, below is a list of the Lexbe vs. eFileCabinet differences, and therein, sufficient reason why eFileCabinet is the superior of the two solutions.
